Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement scored a hat-trick as Portugal ripped apart Switzerland in the World Cup round of 16. PORSUI
The Portugal head coach was unhappy with how the experienced attacker reacted to being subbed off against South Korea last time out.
Portugal fared brilliantly without the “petulant” forward. 21-year-old Ramos scored a hat-trick in his World Cup debut as the 2018 European champions made a statement against Switzerland. They played some sensational football at times as Pepe and Raphael Guerreiro also got on the scoresheet. Chelsea target Rafael Leao added a stunning sixth goal late on.
Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji scored a consolation for Switzerland with around half an hour to go but the so-called tournament dark horses were ripped apart by Portugal. Santos’ side are back in action on Saturday. They will face Morocco in the quarter-finals after the African side beat Spain on penalties to advance.
