Cristiano Ronaldo, captain of the Portugal team scored 4 goals of the 5 goals to nil against Lithuania in the Euro 2020 qualifier.
The feat takes his international tally to a total of 93 goals in his 161st international match.
“I scored one goal against Serbia and four today (Tuesday) and what I want most is to continue like this,” said Ronaldo, who converted an early penalty kick and then added three second-half goals.
Portugal coach Fernando Santos said: “Ronaldo is the best player in the world. This is clear and unmistakable proof”.
Lithuania, bottom with one point, missed an early chance when Vykintas Slivka fired over from close range.
