Goncalo Ramos’s stunning hat-trick powers Portugal pass SwitzerlandThat’s all from me for tonight after another fun day at the World Cup. The quarter-finals are set:Morocco v Portugal - Saturday 3pmTwo rest days of the World Cup and then some great games to savour. Good night.Swiss hit for six, wonderful display by a youthful Portugal . Twenty-one year-old Ramos replaces Ronaldo in the starting line-up and scores a hat-trick.
Goal disallowed for Ronaldo, he’s miles offside. Ball into the net well with a powerful shot but it’s ruled out.Shaqiri plays to Embolo who flicks the ball up and tries to acrobatically volley it into the corner. What a consolation goal that would have been. Out for a corner and Xhaka heads it over.Game has taken on a surreal atmosphere of an exhibition with the crowd cheering every time Ronaldo touches the ball. Ronaldo gets a free-kick. Straight into the wall, as they often do.
