Today, Tuesday, the Portuguese national team succeeded in reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup, “Qatar 2022”, after defeating its Swiss counterpart, 6-1.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo did not start, the Portuguese managed to threaten the Swiss goal on more than one occasion during the first half.
Goncalo Ramos opened the scoring in the 17th minute, in light of the defensive decline of the Swiss national team, which relied on counterattacks. After advancing the result, the Portuguese sought to add more goals and secure the result, and they had what they wanted in the 33rd minute, when Pepe scored the second goal for his country with a court header that settled to the right of goalkeeper Jan Sumer.
The sons of coach Fernando Santos were close to adding the third goal in the 42nd minute, after Bruno Fernandez sent a tight pass to Ramos, who was the only one in the Swiss goal, but the save of goalkeeper Sommer prevented the goals from being increased, so that the first period ended with Portugal advancing (2-0).
