Cristiano Ronaldo equalled the men's international world record of 196 selections when he came on as a substitute for Portugal in the second half of their World Cup quarter-final against Morocco.
Ronaldo, 37, who had started a second consecutive match on the bench, equalled the record set by Kuwait international Bader Al-Mutawa.
If Portugal go further in the tournament and Ronaldo plays again, he would become the sole holder of the record although Al-Mutawa remains an active international so could also make more appearances.
