Portugal 4-0 New Zealand: Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester City new boy Bernardo Silva help fire European champions into the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup

Portugal coasted to a 4-0 win over New Zealand in St Petersburg and secured their place in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup.

The win, however, came at a cost as Manchester City-bound midfielder Bernardo Silva substituted because of an ankle injury.

With hosts Russia losing against Mexico in Kazan, Portugal progressed as Group A winners, while the All Whites finished bottom following a third straight defeat.
