The star forward put Portugal ahead at the Estadio do Dragao with a well-taken free kick in the 25th minute. His shot dropped quickly after going over the wall, catching Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer flat-footed.

When the game seemed headed to extra time, Ronaldo came through to put the hosts ahead again. He scored with a shot from inside the area after a nice pass by Bernardo Silva in the 88th, then completed his sixth international hat trick in the 90th, entering the area with the ball and cutting back inside before firing a shot into the far corner. It was his 88th goal for Portugal in 157 internationals.

«They have this ‘cherry on top,'» Switzerland coach Vladimir Petkovic said about Ronaldo. «And he really made the difference.»

Ronaldo had taken time off from the national team after last year’s World Cup and hadn’t yet played in the Nations League. It was only his third match with Portugal this year after returning to the squad for European Championship qualifiers.
