Goncalo Ramos has opened the scoring for Portugal in their round of 16 tie against Switzerland.
The 21-year-old was named in the starting line-up in place of Cristiano Ronaldo, who was dropped after a negative reaction to being substituted in Portugal’s last game against South Korea.
Ramos had evidently earned the trust of Fernando Santos, so much so that he leads the line in his team’s most important and mandatory game in the tournament so far.

His goal will no doubt give the manager a lot to think about as to who starts in front if he can see victory and progress to the quarterfinals.

The 21-year-old only had 35 minutes of international experience before tonight… ?#ITVFootball | #FIFAWorldCup pic.twitter.com/gll8GEBi2d
