Dortmund, Germany (My Sportsbook) - Brazil's Ronaldo broke the World Cup all-time scoring record on Tuesday by netting his 15th goal of this prestigious tournament in a second-round match against Ghana. Ronaldo, who played his first World Cup match in 1994, moved past Gerd Muller on the scoring list. Muller played in the World Cup for Germany from 1970-1974. The historic tally came in the fifth minute after beating the offside trap. Ronaldo received a pass from Kaka 22 yards outs, dribbled into the penalty area and beat goalkeeper Richard Kingson with a step-over move for the empty-netter from nine yards away. The goal gave Brazil a 1-0 advantage, and it was Ronaldo's third of this year's tournament.
