Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals to lead Portugal to a 4-0 victory over Switzerland in Lisbon on Sunday, in the second round of Group B in the first level of the European Nations League, which also saw the Czech team draw with its Spanish counterpart 2-2.
William Carvalho and Joao Cancelo also scored, and the hosts missed a large number of opportunities to increase the number of goals, so that the visiting team suffered the largest loss since the defeat against Germany by the same result in 2008.
Switzerland does not have a point after losing twice, and has not achieved any victory in the last 4 matches, and since securing qualification for the World Cup in Qatar.
Ronaldo scored both goals in the 35th and 40th minutes, while Carvalho and Cancelo scored in the 15th and 68th minutes.
Carvalho opened the scoring when he followed a free kick by Ronaldo, who added a quick double to raise his score to 117 goals and consolidate his record as the top scorer in international matches in the world.
Ronaldo could have scored the third goal, but he missed two chances before the break, the first from incredibly close range, but Cancelo concluded Portugal's goals in the second half.
Portugal plays the Czech Republic next Thursday, while Switzerland plays Spain on the same night.
The Portuguese team raised its score to 4 points, as it tied 1-1 with Spain in the first round, to lead the group, while the Swiss team remained without credit, losing 1-2 in the first round against the Czech team, which is ranked second on a goal difference.
Spain draws with the Czech Republic
In the second match, the Czech team drew 2-2 with its Spanish guest.
The goals of the Czech team, Jacob Pesek and Jan Kochta, scored in the fourth and 66th minutes, while the goals of the Spanish team, Pablo Martin Paez and Inigo Martinez, scored in the third two minutes of overtime in the first and last half of the match.
And the Spanish team raised its score to two points from two consecutive draws.
