Portugal (without Ronaldo) is a spectacle: 6-1 against Switzerland.
Goncalo Ramos

It will be Portugal that will face Morocco in the quarter-finals. The team of Santos (which put Cristiano Ronaldo on the field only in the 73rd minute, the match was 5-1) asphalted 6-1, in front of 83 thousand spectators, a Switzerland that was not in the game at any time. The hero of the evening is 21-year-old Benfica striker Gonçalo Ramos, the author of a hat-trick, the first to be scored in this World Cup.

With three goals against Switzerland, the man who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo completely convinced and justified coach Fernando Santos for having the courage to start the match against Switzerland with the Portuguese star on the bench.

Ramos scored an early super goal and added two more, while Pepe doubled, but Guerreiro and Rafael Leao deepened the Lusitanians' advantage with champagne football pushed by a classy midfield and a talented attack inspired by Joao Felix.

"No" evening for Shaqiri and Xhaka who in 90 minutes left little mark in the match where Switzerland's only goal came from the feet of the attacker from Gjilan. A match without history that ended 6-1 and with celebration in the Portugal camp that takes the big step towards the quarter-finals where they will challenge Morocco to then look for a possible showdown with England or France in the semi-finals. Switzerland, on the other hand, just like 4 years ago, leaves the World Cup at the 1/8 stage.
