Cristiano Ronaldo scored a superb hat-trick as Portugal reached the Nations League final with victory over Switzerland at the Estadio do Dragao.
Ronaldo 34, had given the hosts the lead with a stunning first-half free-kick that flew into the bottom-right corner, wrong-footing Swiss keeper Yann Sommer.
Switzerland levelled in the second period when Ricardo Rodriguez tucked away a video assistant referee-awarded penalty moments after referee Felix Brych had initially signalled for a penalty at the other end.
But after consulting his pitch-side monitor, the decision was expunged and he instead gave a spot-kick for Nelson Semedo's foul on Switzerland's Steven Zuber.
Incensed by the decision, the hosts struggled to build any rhythm as the game appeared to drift towards extra-time.
However, Ronaldo made the crucial difference late on, sweeping Bernardo Silva's cross into the bottom-right corner, before firing into the same spot 102 seconds later.
Portugal play the winners of Thursday's semi-final between England and the Netherlands (19:45 BST), with the final in Porto on Sunday.

Once this guy is on the pitch...he terminates like Schwarzenegger in the terminator... Like a robot, like he is programmed to destroy oppositions, wherever he finds himself

I will pretend as if I don't see that fabulous pass from Ronaldo that Felix missed.

I always wonder when they says Ronaldo is a scoring machines and he have more assist than the best playmakers in football history.
