(ANSA) - ROME, DECEMBER 06 - Portugal qualified for the quarter-finals of the World Cup by beating Switzerland 6-1 in the round of 16 challenge and will face Morocco in the next match.
All easy for the Lusitanian national team in the last round of the round of 16, even despite the unexpected choice of the head coach not to field starter Cristiano Ronaldo.
The substitute, 21-year-old Goncalo Ramos, opened the scoring in the 17th minute and scored two more goals in the second half to score his first hat-trick of the tournament.
Veteran Pepe, Raphael Guerreiro and Rafa Leao contributed to Switzerland's defeat, Akanji scoring for a temporary 4-1 win.
