Cristiano Ronaldo padded his all-time goal record for Portugal on Wednesday, scoring on a diving header and then adding another strike in a pre-Euro 2016 laugher of a friendly vs. Estonia. 

Ricardo Quaresma set up Ronaldo's first with his trademark trivela, crossing the ball off the outside of his boot right into Ronaldo's path. The Real Madrid superstar powered home his header to open the scoring in the 36th minute. After Quaresma scored one of his own from an incredibly tight angle, three minutes later, Ronaldo scored his second. He sparked the sequence with a back-heel pass, then got into position to semi-lob the keeper with a change-up of a shot from 15 yards. Portugal kept it going early in the second half with four more to run away with the result.

Ronaldo now has 58 goals (and counting) for Portugal, 11 more than Pauleta. In his next match, he'll tie Luis Figo for most caps in Portugal history with 127.

Portugal is in Euro 2016 Group F along with Iceland, Austria and Hungary and opens against Iceland on June 14.
