120 more seconds for Switzerland to endure. Ronaldo's hat-trick now looks unlikely - but there's still time.

PENALTY TO PORTUGAL?
Mendes is clipped by Mbabu and the referee points to the spot. But replays show the foul was committed just outside the box and the decision is overturned - it's just a free-kick!

YELLOW CARD
The referee has some work to do as Portugal react to a nasty challenge from Embolo on Palhinha.
It was a tackle that smacks of frustration and he's handed a yellow card.

A BIT BETTER FROM VISITORS
Switzerland look a shadow of the team that knocked France out of the European Championships last summer.
They need something tonight and they win a corner. Ultimately it comes to nothing, but that was a slight improvement.

GOAL! PORTUGAL 4-0 SWITZERLAND (JOAO CANCELO)
The Man City team mates combine as Portugal make it 4-0.
With his first touch since he was introduced, Silva plays a clever forward pass for Cancelo and he takes a touch to knock it past the onrushing Kobel before slotting it into an empty net.

OVER
Despite the fact Ronaldo is on a hat-trick, Fernandes wins the argument to take the free-kick. His free-kick dips over the wall but he can't test the goalkeeper.

FREE-KICK TO PORTUGAL
Ronaldo is fouled right on the edge of the penalty area by Schar, who is on a yellow card remember.
