JAKARTA - Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo overtook Manuel Rui Costa in Portugal's list of top scorers in Serie A history. Ronaldo scored from the spot in the match against Bologna on Monday, June 22 evening.
Ronaldo's strike in the 23rd minute prompted Paulo Dybala to double Juve's lead 13 minutes later and sealed Juve's 2-0 win last night. With this result, the Bianconeri are four points ahead of Lazio at the top of the standings.
For Ronaldo, it is the 22nd goal in Serie A this season. One more goal from his debut season after moving from Real Madrid in 2018.
