Great goal by Rafael Leao: Portugal thus reached 6-1 against Switzerland | VIDEO

The victory of Portugal was in the pocket and the qualification to the quarterfinals of the Qatar 2022 World Cup was about to take place, but there was time for a goal. A goal, rather. Rafael Leao shone in the definition and made it 6-1 over Switzerland, at the Lusail Stadium.

The attacker who plays for AC Milan waited for his opportunity on the substitute bench and coach Fernando Santos decided to send him onto the field at minute 87, replacing Bruno Fernandes. Five minutes later, Leao inflated the net of the Swiss bow.

After a pass from Raphael Guerreiro, Rafael Leao settled in the area, made space and took out his right foot, to overcome the resistance of goalkeeper Yann Sommer and get his second goal in the World Cup, after scoring against Ghana in the phase of groups.

The great figure of the match was Gonçalo Ramos (17′, 51′ and 67′), who received the confidence of DT and started the match instead of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Benfica forward was the author of a ‘hat-trick’ in a night in which Pepe (33′) and Raphael Guerreiro (55′) also scored. Manuel Akanji (58 ‘) discounted for the Swiss.
