The Qatar 2022 World Cup had Cristiano Ronaldo again as the center of attention. Although this time was for the decision of Portugal’s head coach Fernando Santos of benching him against Switzerland. That could have been a disaster if the team didn’t deliver, but Gonçalo Ramos paid off greatly in the 6-1 win.

It was a career day for Ramos in the round of 16 victory over the Swiss. In the first half he took over the game to make a statement for the Portuguese, scoring a great goal that opened the scoreboard. Then Pepe put things 2-0, and they never looked back.

But the margin continued growing in the second half with Ramos proving Santos right. The Benfica striker scored again to leave things 3-0, although he also had the fifth goal of his team that gave him a hat-trick. The match was so under control that Ronaldo got in only with 20 minutes to go. Portugal will now play vs Morocco in the quarterfinals of Qatar 2022.

Portugal vs Switzerland: Match preview

For the round of 16 of Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, Portugal and Switzerland will face each other today at the Lusail Stadium. The Portuguese side, with Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, is the favorite to win and earn a spot in the quarterfinals, but the Swiss team will do everything possible to leave out one of the candidates to win the title. You can find out here how to watch it on TV or live stream in your country. Remember that if you are in the United States, you can follow all the action of this match on FuboTV (free trial).

The last of the round of 16 games, and it will be this interesting matchup between two European teams. On the one hand there will be one of the candidates to advance to the final phases of the tournament. Portugal want to take advantage of what will surely be the last World Cup for star Cristiano Ronaldo to reach the first final in their history.

Their rivals are Switzerland, who had a modest group stage. A lackluster victory with Cameroon, then a loss with Brazil, and finally a good game against Serbia gave them the chance to enter this round of 16 as second in the group. They know that against Portugal they are the least favorites, but they will seek to surprise.
