With Cristiano Ronaldo benched, his replacement has scored the first hat-trick of the Qatar World Cup as Portugal locked up the last quarterfinal spot with a 6-1 demolition of Switzerland.
Gonçalo Ramos was starting his first game for Portugal, replacing Ronaldo after he was axed from the starting line-up by manager Fernando Santos, and the 21-year-old scored the opening goal of the match and completed the first hat-trick of the tournament when his third went in in the 67th minute.
Ronaldo eventually got on the pitch in the 74th minute and even found the back of the net, but his mistimed run left him clearly offside so the goal was struck off.
