Cristiano Ronaldo Hat-Trick Leads Portugal by Switzerland in UEFA Nations League

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to help Portugal reach the final of the 2019 UEFA Nations League after a 3-1 win over Switzerland at the Estadio do Dragao on Wednesday.

Ronaldo opened the scoring from a free-kick, before adding two more goals late on to render a Ricardo Rodriguez penalty moot and see the hosts through.

Portugal now await the winner of Thursday's semi-final between the Netherlands and England.
