The striker netted his 24th goal for the South Americans in a 3-1 win over Kuwait, just days after scoring twice in a 6-0 victory against Bahrain.
He has now drawn level with Arnoldo Iguaran's tally, which has stood for over 20 years.
Falcao has failed to achieve the same success in club football this season, having scored just four goals for United.
