00:00Portugal as well, he is their talisman, he's their game changer, that's why it's so important for them that he's
00:04in the starting XI this evening.
00:07Interesting in the build up to the game that many of the...
00:27Major reshuffle is the last thing he needed.
00:30Absolutely, it's a change in personnel of course, but the way that Joaquin likes his team to line up 4
00:33-2-3-1, so the important thing is he stays...
00:352020 finals though never actually got on the pitch.
00:39It was a good play by Renato Steffen, Shredan Shaqiri running into Nuno Mendes, and I think that that clearly
00:45did touch the young left back.
00:48His delivery is almost right on the money, Shredan was there and Switzerland are in front.
00:54It's lashed in by Seferovic from close range, it was a good delivery by Shaqiri, it caused some real chaos
01:03in the...
01:04Preenfeld go and look at this, it's the left arm raised by...
01:10Fabian Scher and the goal is ruled out and I'm trying to wriggle his way...
01:16A round, but uh, Joao Cancelo got the better of him, the referee's share was there, Shaqiri...
01:24Well it is going to be a free kick for the foul by...
01:26This is uh, Otavio trying to deliver the cross...
01:29Solid defensive structure...
01:31Nicely led off by Bruno Fernandes...
01:34Otavio trying to wriggle it through it...
01:36Looked like a free kick right on the edge of the penalty area and the referee Oral Greenfeld agrees with
01:41that...
01:43It was dangerous...
01:45Rodriguez did well, he actually steps in field to...
01:48Because here comes Ronaldo...
01:49And that's a decent save...
01:51And William puts it in the back of the net...
01:53From the rebound...
01:54And Portugal are in front...
01:57On 15 minutes...
01:59It was a decent save...
02:01But he couldn't hold it, Gregor Koval...
02:04And William was perfectly placed...
02:08And Portugal lead by a goal to nil...
02:11But for Switzerland, defensively, this is another soft, poor goal they've given away...
02:16It happened against the Czech Republic as well...
02:18There's just no defensive reaction...
02:20When the shot comes in from...
02:23Ronaldo, strong challenge by...
02:26Here's Ronaldo...
02:28Rodriguez will hit it...
02:29And hit it wide...
02:32It's not an easy chance of the ball is coming across your body like that...
02:36Invariably you tend to slice it, you're going for power...
02:38Shaqiri might hit it from there, he did...
02:45Ronaldo...
02:47Xhota...
02:49That pass, the pressure being brought to bear...
02:52By Fabian Scheer was...
02:55A little bit too much for the referee's liking...
02:58And certainly for Fabian Scheer...
02:59It was closed down quickly...
03:01And caught after the ball had gone...
03:03Just wonder is that a bit of payback there as Xhota...
03:06It's a shooting chance for Shaqiri...
03:08He takes it...
03:09And Rui Patricio...
03:11Treating it with respect...
03:13But a straight forward stop...
03:15It's better than his earlier strike...
03:16It's on target at least...
03:17Lovely played...
03:18And a great starting position...
03:19Ronaldo in the middle...
03:20Otavia may not need him...
03:22Ran into Rodriguez...
03:24That's a good slide...
03:31And...
03:32Guiltily away from the scene of the crime...
03:34And how many times during his career has that happened to Cristiano?
03:37Xhota...
03:39Ronaldo...
03:39And the shot is deflected wide...
03:42In the opinion of Otavio...
03:45Not in the opinion of the referee...
03:51This might...
03:52Fall for Bruno Fernandes...
03:54He's done really well...
03:55Diogo Xhota...
03:56Ronaldo...
03:572-0...
04:04Great...
04:04Counter-attacking goal...
04:07Two...
04:07Three touches...
04:08Covering 60 metres...
04:10And who's on the end of it?
04:13Cristiano Ronaldo...
04:14For 2-0...
04:16Well I mentioned earlier in the game...
04:17That Portugal have the ability to turn defences around...
04:20And that's exactly what they do here...
04:22With the ball over the top...
04:24Again it's really retrieved more than anything else...
04:27It's not the best forward ball you'll ever see...
04:29But it's chased down...
04:30It's recovered...
04:31And it's so unselfish really from Diogo...
04:34They're tearing him apart...
04:35It's Cristiano Ronaldo this time...
04:36Push and push and...
04:38Try and break all these records...
04:39And they're in again here...
04:40Diogo Xhota's onside...
04:42And through...
04:43And it's a brilliant recovery challenge...
04:45By Mbabu...
04:46It really is...
04:47A goal-saving lunge...
04:49From Kevin Mbabu...
04:51Xhota could have set up Ronaldo...
04:53Still to play...
04:54Maybe beginning to fear the worst...
04:56The header from Pepe...
04:57Off the post...
04:59Ronaldo...
05:00Pepe...
05:01And save by Gregor Koble...
05:07Don't get much closer than that...
05:09The second shot...
05:13Ronaldo...
05:14Oh...
05:14Beautifully touched...
05:15Beautifully done...
05:16Nuno Mendes can pull it back for Xhota...
05:19Couldn't quite get his feet sorted out...
05:21But it doesn't matter...
05:23Because you know who is there...
05:25Cristiano Ronaldo scores...
05:27And Portugal leads Switzerland...
05:29By three goals to nil...
05:34Well Switzerland are simply getting ripped apart...
05:37The last five minutes...
05:38They've just stepped the tempo up Portugal...
05:40And they've moved the crowd to tears...
05:42It's just been extraordinary attacking football...
05:44Helped along the way by some...
05:45Really shoddy...
05:46Swiss defending...
05:48But again Ronaldo...
05:49You know...
05:49It's not by accident...
05:50He's in that position to score the goal...
05:52As the play is developing...
05:53He's getting himself...
05:54Into...
05:55Votavia...
05:56And Ronaldo...
06:00Well he cannot believe it...
06:04And neither can anybody else...
06:07Well it's a picture of a ball in...
06:08But his movement...
06:09Once again...
06:10Is outstanding...
06:11Votavia arriving...
06:13Xhota...
06:15Ronaldo...
06:16Wide...
06:23Well he might have had four in the first half...
06:25I'm amazed he's missed this...
06:26Ronaldo made it two...
06:28Ronaldo made it three...
06:32Ronaldo...
06:32Look and break...
06:33This is what they've done so well...
06:35Votavia...
06:36I think he was just caught...
06:37Actually...
06:37It's gonna be a free kick...
06:38And a yellow card...
06:39You could see him...
06:40Just have his heel...
06:42Beautifully done by Shaqiri and Babu with the cross...
06:46Ronaldo...
06:47Fernandes...
06:48Otavio...
06:49Ronaldo...
06:50Hat-trick...
06:53Well...
06:54I think the flag might have gone up...
06:56And uh...
06:59Shaqiri's error...
07:00Cristiano Ronaldo...
07:02She needed a bottle of water at half-time...
07:05Moment to deliver...
07:06And...
07:07And...
07:07She just...
07:09Able to stretch and steer the ball away from Ronaldo...
07:12All they could do...
07:13The centre-hours is recover...
07:14This is the risk of...
07:16You know...
07:16When you're in possession...
07:18Diogo Xhota in behind...
07:21Locked and...
07:23Put behind...
07:23By Fabian Frey...
07:24For another...
07:25Portuguese corner kick...
07:28Danger here...
07:29Bruno Fernandes to Ronaldo...
07:30Ronaldo is felled by Shaq...
07:35Who got that early yellow card...
07:37From which the first Portuguese goal of the game came...
07:42And...
07:42Dips that free kick...
07:43Over the top of...
07:45Coble's free kick...
07:47Bruno Fernandes...
07:49He said there's only one man gonna take it...
07:51Actually...
07:51Good feet by Bernardo Silva...
07:54Back into Shao Cancelo...
07:55Oh he's just taken it round the keeper...
07:58And he makes it for...
08:03That's a brilliant finish from a defender...
08:05It really is...
08:07There's a lovely ball into his path...
08:09Gregor Coble came...
08:11Jao Cancelo beat...
08:13Him to it...
08:14And...
08:15Sweeps in Portugal's fourth...
08:18And the Man City teammates combined...
08:19Quite beautifully...
08:20I thought the forward ball from Bernardo Silva...
08:22Was slightly too heavy...
08:23The keeper was going to get there but...
08:27Cancelo...
08:27So many attributes...
08:29And speed is definitely one of them...
08:31He gets to that ball...
08:31Pitches it past the keeper...
08:32There's no panic...
08:33And he tucks it home...
08:35On the team...
08:39Cristiano Ronaldo...
08:41Space for Ronaldo...
08:45Ranovic...
08:45Stripped and ready fraction for...
08:47Switzerland...
08:48That's a late challenge by Braylon Bolo...
08:50And I think it will...
08:51Bring a yellow card...
08:57And...
08:57To Ronaldo...
09:01In the middle...
09:02He wants the ball...
09:03He wants the hat-trick...
09:04It's a penalty...
09:08And Babu with the challenge...
09:11The referee points to the spot...
09:14It's a penalty kick...
09:15There is...
09:16It looks as if it's possibly outside the box...
09:17Yeah...
09:17I would agree with you...
09:18So...
09:19I'm not convinced that was a...
09:20Placement...
09:21His home fans...
09:22Greet his arrival...
09:23The free kick...
09:24Oh...
09:24It's a great save...
09:25From Koble to deny Cristiano Ronaldo...
09:28What a super stop by the keeper...
09:30You can see the reactions of his teammates...
09:32They know...
09:32What a good save that was...
09:33There's plenty of power...
09:34He doesn't see it so late...
09:36He's going right in the top court...
09:37Rafael Liao...
09:38And Ronaldo for the return...
09:40Well...
09:40I actually think that...
09:41Gregor Koble might have got there...
09:43But Fabian Frey wasn't sure...
09:51Well, Portugal have put on something of an exhibition here...
09:54Sweeping...
09:55Switzerland aside...
09:57In Lisbon...
09:58The Swiss started...
09:59Reasonably well...
10:00Had a goal disallowed...
10:01Then William...
10:02Put Portugal in front...
10:04Ronaldo scored twice...
10:05Missed a couple more...
10:07Pepe hit the inside of the post with a header...
10:09The outstanding João Cancelo...
10:11Added the fourth...
10:13Which was the very least that Portugal...
10:14And will diss...
10:15The same...
