League of Nations: Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick takes Portugal to the final of the tournament

In the semi-finals of the League of Nations, the Portuguese national team, Ukraine's contender in the Euro-2020 selection, beat the Swiss national team to reach the first ever tournament final.

In the semi-final match of the Final Four of the League of Nations in Porto, the wards of Fernando Santos met with the Swiss team. The Portuguese opened the scoring in the 25th minute of the match thanks to the individual efforts of their captain - Cristiano Ronaldo. The striker earned a free kick and executed his own branded shot. The goalkeeper was powerless. 1: 0.

In the second half, the Swiss rushed to play back and were rewarded. 57 minutes into the match, the referee signaled for a Felix Brich penalty. Ricardo Rodriguez's shot was accurate. 11: 1.

And then he showed his genius again to Ronaldo. Three minutes later at the end of the match, he managed to upset the Swiss goalkeeper twice and scored a hat-trick, which ensured his team's victory.
