Portugal's captain scored with a dipping set-piece effort just before halftime to join Ali Daei, who netted 109 times for Iran, on a century of goals.

The landmark moment for Ronaldo arrived in his 165th cap after Swede Gustav Svensson received his second yellow card and was sent packing for a reckless challenge on Joao Moutinho on the edge of his own box just before halftime.

Ronaldo stepped up and smashed a dipping effort beyond the despairing dive of Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen and just under the crossbar before breaking into a wide smile as he celebrated with his teammates.

The 35-year-old Ronaldo struck again in the 73rd minute with a curling, dipping effort, this time from open play, to leave himself just eight goals short of Daei's international scoring record.

Antoine Griezmann scored one goal and set up another for defender Dayot Upamecano as France staged a repeat of the World Cup final by beating Croatia 4-2.

Griezmann even passed up the chance to double his tally late on by allowing substitute Olivier Giroud to take a penalty for Les Bleus' fourth goal.

Giroud is just one goal behind Michel Platini's national record, while 21-year-old Upamecano's header was his first goal for the national team.

Croatia had taken the lead through Dejan Lovren's 17th-minute opener and later equalised via Josip Brekalo's 55th-minute goal.

France have won both their games but trails Group A3 leaders Portugal on goal difference with Sweden next and Croatia bottom.
