That's all from the last 16 and all from us. I'll leave you with the above video of Goncalo Ramos' superb performance, while you can read about Portugal's 6-1 thrashing of Switzerland here.
We'll be back on Friday. See you then!
'Portugal have a bright future'
Nigel de Jong
Former Manchester City midfielder on ITV
I was really pleased to see it. A young kid coming into a game like this, it is a lot of pressure on his shoulders because he was replacing Cristiano Ronaldo.
He is two footed, he can play with his left and his right foot. Portugal have a bright future with these guys up top.
'Ronaldo wasn't sulking'
Gary Neville
Former Manchester United defender on ITV
It is worth mentioning that Ronaldo celebrated the first two goals like crazy, I have given him criticism for sulking but he wasn't sulking.
It looked on social media like he was sulking but he wasn't.
'Ronaldo can still contribute'
Ian Wright
Former England striker on ITV
Ramos scored a hat trick and will take all the headlines and deservedly so.
His first goal, it set the stall for the match. He scored a goal he wasn't meant to score, he hit it so early and so well. That set them on the road.
This is a team that could easily go all the way and Ronaldo can still really contribute. If he gets it all right in his head he could end up scoring the winning goal for them in the final.

'Ronaldo is our leader'
FT: Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Goncalo Ramos, speaking about Cristiano Ronaldo's influence: "Cristiano Ronaldo talks to me and everyone in the team.
"He's our leader and always tries to help."
A way to make an impression
FT: Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Before tonight Goncalo Ramos had played just 33 minutes of international football. It took him just 17 minutes to score more World Cup knockout goals than Cristiano Ronaldo. He surpassed that by scoring a hat-trick.
What a performance.
That's entertainment
'Ramos took his chance'
FT: Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Gary Neville
Former Manchester United defender on ITV
It could have badly wrong for [Portugal coach] Fernando Santos tonight. This tournament is purring now. Goncalo Ramos took a chance, Ronaldo was the big one and it paid off in abundance.
'Like an arrow!' Ramos fires Portugal into lead

'Perfection'
FT: Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Emma Sanders
BBC Sport at Lusail Stadium
A brilliant performance from Portugal and the star man Goncalo Ramos, who should be leading the headlines tomorrow morning.
A hat-trick and an assist in a 6-1 win to progress to the quarter-finals? Perfection.
'Statement win'
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
That was a real statement performance. Portugal have arrived at this tournament.
What a night for Goncalo Ramos.
Post update
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Phil McNulty
BBC Sport chief football writer in Doha
Ronaldo applauds the crowd then he is first down the tunnel leaving the celebrations to his Portugal team-mates who performed so brilliantly without him.
Old guard making way for the new?
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Having such an incredible talent as Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks you did wonder what would become of Portugal when their star player started to fade.
There's your answer as 21-year-old Goncalo Ramos and 23-year-old Rafael Leao show that the future is very bright.
FULL-TIME
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
The young guns put on a show as Portugal hammer Switzerland and breeze into the quarter-finals.
Post update
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Portugal are only the second team in the 21st Century to score 6+ goals in a World Cup knockout stage match, after Germany versus Brazil in the 2014 semi-final (7-1).
'Outstanding talent'
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
Rob Green
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live
He is a player of outstanding ability. If you have seen him play for AC Milan you know that is a Rafael Leao goal.
He is a talent to bring off the bench, blimey. He is a proper talent. Another wonderful goal.
Portugal punish Swiss
Portugal 6-1 Switzerland
One of the key differences tonight has been Portugal's quality in front of goal.
Fernando Santos' side have had 14 shots tonight (shown by the arrows on the right of the graphic), with nine on target and leading to their six goals.
In contrast Switzerland, who have had 52% possession, have put just three of their 10 shots on target.
