    GOAL - Portugal 6-1 Switzerlandpublished at 90+1 mins

    Rafael Leao

    What a strike this is!

    Substitute Rafael Leao surges towards the box, he cuts inside and Cristiano Ronaldo shows for the ball at the far post but Leao goes at it alone, sending a stunning effort curling into the far corner, goalkeeper rooted.

    Portugal are laying down some marker for the knockouts here.

    The fourth official's board shows four additional minutes. Enough time for Cristiano Ronaldo to get off the mark in the knockouts?

    Portugal 5-1 Switzerland

    Switzerland make a late change as Breel Embolo, who has played well at this World Cup, is replaced by Ardon Jashari.

    We're into the final minute.

    Another change for Portugal as Bruno Fernandes is replaced by Rafael Leao.

    A bit more pace in the Portugal attack as they look to add more goals.

    Portugal have done everything they needed to, on the ball and off the ball.

    Could they have done this with Cristiano Ronaldo in the team? I don't think they could have done it, as a team.

    Portugal 5-1 Switzerland

    Eray Comert hooks a clearance back onto Cristiano Ronaldo and the ball deflects out for a goal kick.

    Ronaldo is desperate for a goal.

    We've got Goncalo Ramos, but who has been the other breakout stars of this World Cup?

    Could we make up a World Cup breakout stars XI?

    There are fans falling over their feet for Cristiano Ronaldo in the stands. Every time he touches the ball they are cheering and standing up. The noise when that hit the back of the net, followed by the sudden silence when the flag went up... Ouch.

    He was miles offside but they are so desperate for him to score, many were in denial!

    Cristiano Ronaldo was so far offside, we all could have flagged that. He was the only player in the Switzerland half.

    Portugal 5-1 Switzerland

    Cristiano Ronaldo thunders the ball into the back of the net... but he's offside!

    Superb finish but he was way off. It is pantomime season and its like that here now, with the offside flag booed by the Portugal fans.

    It has been a joy to watch. They have a huge appreciation for each other and it looks like the Portugal players have just enjoyed playing a different game to Switzerland.

    It's been scintillating.

  12. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 82 mins

    Portugal 5-1 Switzerland

    Another change for Portugal as Ruben Neves replaces Bernardo Silva.

    Eight minutes to go but there's no doubt who is going through to the last eight.

  13. Postpublished at 80 mins

    Portugal 5-1 Switzerland

    Switzerland haven't offered anywhere near enough but they are plugging away, trying to get another goal as Breel Embolo hooks an acrobatic effort just wide.

    ... Cristiano Ronaldo hammers it goalwards but into the wall.

    Still plenty of time for him to get among the goals, though, and the crowd are willing him to do just that.

    Cristiano Ronaldo has a smile on his face now as he lines up for a free kick.

    Can he get himself on the scoresheet? It's a long way out...

    That was spectacular by Goncalo Ramos. The performance of the World Cup so far, with everything that went on around it.

    I'm pleased now Cristiano Ronaldo is on the pitch so that we can now stop talking about him not being on the pitch.
