PORTO: Cristiano Ronaldo's brilliant hat-trick helped Portugal to beat Switzerland 3-1, sending the team into the Nations League final on home soil in Porto on Wednesday.
Ronaldo's free-kick opened the scoring midway through the first-half, but the Swiss levelled when the referee overturned his decision to award Portugal a penalty to give a spot-kick at the other end after a VAR review, and Ricardo Rodriguez levelled.
