While Switzerland were aiming to reach a World Cup quarterfinal for the first time since 1954. The Swiss were also hoping to win three games at a single World Cup for the first time in their history after winning two of their games during the group round.
Portugal produced one of the best first halves of any teams at this World Cup.
The Selecao played outstandingly, taking the lead on a rocket from youthful Ramos before Pepe, their senior statesman, added a second goal from a corner.

Ramos scored the first, third, and fifth goal for Portugal in 17th, 51st, and 67th minutes of the match.
Incredible performance from Gonçalo Ramos stepping up to replace Ronaldo.
Just like he has done as Darwin Nuñez’s replacement for Benfica this season:
– 21 games
– 14 goals
– 6 assists
He has 4 goals and 2 assists in just 107 minutes for Portugal. Still only 21. ?
The dynamism of Portugal was too much for Switzerland to handle.
Pepe scored Portugal’s second goal in 33rd minute of the first half, while Raphael Guerreiro scored the 4th goal in 55th minute of second half of the match.
Manuel Akanji scored a consolatory goal for Switzerland in 58th minute of the second half.
Raphael Leåo then scored the sixth goal for Portugal in the extra time of 90 minutes to end the match 1-6 in favour of Portugal.
