Portugal captain, Cristiano Ronaldo, has become the oldest player to score in a World Cup knockout match.

Ronaldo achieved the feat, after converting a second-half penalty to bring his side level against Croatia in a last-32 clash.

Ivan Perisic had opened the scoring in the 53rd minute of the game.

In the 68th minute, Ronaldo equalized from 12 yards, after Renato Veiga had been fouled in the area.

The 41-year-old, who was awarded the Man of the Match, also now has 976 career goals as he chases the 1,000 mark.

Ronaldo would be hoping to extend the record when they face Spain in the last 16 of the tournament.
