Zinedine Zidane's side edged out Club America to seal a place in the final as Cristiano netted for the first time in the competition as a Real player.

Cristiano Ronaldo has completed the set for Real Madrid. Already the all-time top goalscorer in the history of the Spanish side with 376 strikes before Thursday's game against Club America, the Portuguese had failed to net in only one competition for Los Blancos: the Club World Cup. But he changed that on Thursday - and he did it with the 500th strike in his club career.

The Portuguese raced onto a James Rodriguez pass to fire under the goalkeeper from in the 93rd minute to secure a 2-0 win after Karim Benzema had scored the opener in first half stoppage time.

That strike was Ronaldo's 500th career goal at club level. He's scored 377 of those for Madrid, while 118 came at Manchester United and 5 at his first club, Sporting.

Of the 377 he has hit for Real, 270 were scored in La Liga, 80 in the Champions League, 21 in the Copa del Rey, 2 in the UEFA Super Cup, 3 in the Spanish Supercopa and now 1 in the Club World Cup.
