FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar LIVE: Portugal v Switzerland updates as Portugal thrash Switzerland

Comert replaces Schar, who was unwell in the days prior to the game.

When you have good players in the right system, it's hard to stop.

HALF-TIME: Portugal 2-0 Switzerland

Works its way over to Guerreiro on the opposite flank, and he leathers a shot miles over the top.

Dalot chases, and Schar challenges, giving Portugal have another corner.

Switzerland need half-time, badly.

He takes the ball inside his own half, steps on the gas, and leaves three men standing, before finding Bruno just outside the box. He wants to shoot, but delays by a split-second and the lane closes, so he tries to scoop a return over the top but gets it all wrong.

Rightly so.

Shaqiri carries forward, loses possession, and Portugal counter, Otavio moving the ball onto Bruno as Schar clatters him, then Bruno slides a gorgeous pass in behind and here comes Ramos again! He allows it into stride, then punches left-footed across goal ... and Sommer does well to get down and tip away. That was almost game over.

Roger Milla of Cameroon.

A flick-on sending Fernandes away down the right. He crosses low and hard, Costa cuts out and should hang on, but when the ball rears up and Freueler nods goalwards, the keeper does well to leap back into action and deflect over the top. The corner comes to nowt.

But it's hard to see how they force their way back into this. Portugal have had serious quality for a few years; now, they've got drive and cohesion.

He was celebrating with the rest of the team, which is good of him.

GOAL! Portugal 2-0 Switzerland (Pepe) Bruno swings out a terrific corner, flatish to the edge of the six-yard box, and Pepe is up hours before Akanji, who's dreaming of mental arithmetic, and by the time he's worked out 22/7, the ball has been powered past Sommer and this is nearly over!

He comes in off the left, curves a tasty ball into the middle, and Schar extends every fibre of his being to take the ball away from Ramos, heading behind.

Then Bernardo carries forward. Those two are wandering; Switzerland are wondering.

Over the wall and dipping, forcing Costa to dive and flick around the post, though it was probably going wide. The corner comes to nowt.

And this time he gets away - he's bigger, faster and stronger - so Dias pulls him back and down. Free-kick Switzerland, 30 yards out, just right of centre, and Shaqiri fancies it...

Is doing them no favours. They've got one man to mark between them and Ramos is occupying them all, while the players behind him are floating and darting, unmolested.
