PORTUGAL WERE BRILLIANT
They meet Morocco in the last eight, and will be hot favourites to reach the last four. They can win this, and they know they can.

GOAL! Portugal 6-1 Switzerland (Leao) Portugal have so much talent it's a joke. They set Leao away down the left, he dips inside Fernandes, and curls a glorious finish inside the far post! I think it might've flicked off Akanji so gone in loopy, but he might still have without the deflection because he seemed to hit it nicely.
90'
THERE'LL BE FOUR ADDED MINUTES
It's been lovely.

COULD PORTUGAL WIN THE THING?
I actually backed them to win the Euros, and they let me down. I didn't think Fernando Santos found the right team then nor had I seen no signs he was going to now, but he's got there in the end. They don't concede many, they've can control midfield, and they've got goals and goals and goals.
88'
WHICH IS WHY THE WORLD CUP IS IN QATAR
But there we go.
87'
I CAN STILL BARELY BELIEVE WHAT'S HAPPENED TONIGHT
Goncalo Ramos has come into the team instead of Ronaldo and scored a 67-minute hat-trick of gorgeous finishes! Football is the maddest thing going and don't be telling me otherwise. There is nothing like it.

CHANGE FOR PORTUGAL
Leao replaces Bruno, who's been excellent again.
85'
PORTUGAL HAVE FIVE
And neither Bruno not Ronaldo have scored any of them.
83'
CARVALHO STICKS RONALDO IN
He's running from nearly halfway but I'm sure he's offside. He runs in on goal and finishes very nicely, but the flag goes up. He had no need to go so early and he knows it.

BUT IT'S SWITZERLAND ON THE ATTACK
A cross from the right, an Embolo overhead ... and the ball flicks a defender then flies wide. From the corner, Xhaka heads over the bar.
79'
RONALDO WILL BE CHASING GOALS
And he's got plenty of teammates able to serve him.
78'
A QUIET PERIOD
Have Portugal delcared?
76'
HE STRIKES IT WELL
But into the wall.
75'
BRUNO INTO RONALDO INTO BERNARDO
Who wins a free-kick off Comert. It's 25 yards out, just right of centre; who do you think is on it?
74'
THIS IS RONALDO'S 195TH CAP
That is lunacy. The record is 196, held by Bader Al-Mutawa of Kuwait.

NO!
He does go off, but with Otavio and Joao Felix, while Ronaldo, Horta and Vitinha come on.
73'
RONALDO IS GETTING STRIPPED
The crowd like this, a lot; will Ramos get to walk off on his own?
71'
GONCALO RAMOS, THOUGH
Is this happpening? Is he real? Are we alive?
