FARO, Portugal - Cristiano Ronaldo marked a record 181st international appearance with a goal as Portugal defeated World Cup

hosts Qatar 3-0 in a friendly game on Saturday.

180 times, as the most-capped international for a European nation.

  Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 37th minute with Jose Fonte adding a
second three minutes into the second half.

  RB Leipzig striker Andre Silva completed the scoring in the last minute of
the game.

  Portugal resume their World Cup qualifying campaign on Tuesday when they
host Luxembourg.

  They are currently second in Group A, a point behind Serbia but with a game in hand.BSS/AFP
