Fans are rarely happy with international breaks, especially if a team is in good form in their respective league, like Arsenal or Napoli. However, considering the rarity of National competitions or friendlies, everyone can be pleased concerning different records set during breaks.
If you had zoned off from football during the break, you did miss out on some exceptional records. Read through to learn more and find out how your favorite players performed.
Harry Kane Passes Rooney’s Talley
Harry Kane is arguably England’s best striker, and his goal-scoring record proves everything you need to know.
He did duplicate club form for his country, scoring in the two matches against Italy and Ukraine. It was a unique outing for him, where the penalty kick against Italy (1-0) did take him over Wayne Rooney as England’s top scorer with 54 goals. He also secured one goal against Ukraine before Saka’s superb goal and helped soccer betway fans who staked on the team.
Kane has 55 goals for his country, a tally set to continue rising. The prolific striker is also on impressive scoring form at Tottenham with 21 goals, where he trails City’s Erling Haaland (28 goals).
Morocco’s First-Ever Victory Against Brazil
Abdelhamid Sabiri and Sofiane Boufal were on the score sheet to grant Morocco a 2-1 win against Brazil during a friendly match in Tangier. The victory earned their first-ever win against the five-time global champions, giving few risk-takers on Betway substantial rewards, considering the excellent odds on the team.
This is an excellent statement from the Africans, a build-up from their impressive World Cup form. Interestingly, they set another record in the tournament to become the first African team to reach the semi-finals.
Ronaldo: Most Appearances in Men’s International Games
Christiano Ronaldo, who’s loving his start in the Saudi Arabian league, continued setting impressive stats in the recent break. The already-made legend is now the most-capped player in men’s international competitions.
The Portuguese only needed to appear once in either match against Luxembourg and Lichtenstein. He finally surpassed Bader Al-Mutawa (from Kuwait) with 197 appearances after the first match against Lichtenstein.
Additionally, he marked this record with two goals of his own in a 4-0 triumph, a form he carried in the next match, scoring another 2 in a 6-0 victory.
Idris Gueye Appearance Record for Senegal
Idris Ghana Gueye has now featured 100 times for the African champions, a feat that Sadio Mane is also eyeing, currently at 94 caps. It is historic for the 33-year-old, attained in an emphatic 5-1 conquest against Mozambique.
The achievement continues his good luck with the team after he recently featured in the World Cup and was in the squad that won the Africa Cup of Nations.
Conclusion
Harry Kane’s record might be the most popular on the list, but Morocco’s victory is arguably the most impressive considering the talent level in the Brazilian squad. Additionally, Ronaldo fanatics and the football universe can only be happy as the star continues to impress at 38. We can only see these players continue their form in the upcoming League games.
