🏆👉 Portugal with a convincing performance won the FIFA World Cup Group Round of 16 crushing Switzerland on Tuesday 6 December 2022 at the Lusail National Stadium in Lusail, Qatar. Surely, it was a totally one-way match, with the Lusitanians always in control. The absolute protagonist of the evening is Gonçalo Ramos, who scores a hat-trick on his World Cup debut and on the evening in which he was chosen to replace Cristiano Ronaldo. In fact, Coach Fernando Santos starts with CR7 on the bench and in the end it turns out to be a good move. Rafael Leão also scores, who signs the sixth goal in full stoppage time. Portugal flies to the quarterfinals, where they will face Morocco. Switzerland not only eliminated but also humiliated.
A thing of the past, Switzerland have won two of their three group stage games at this World Cup (L1 vs Brazil) and could achieve three victories in a single edition of the tournament for the first time in their history.
