Portugal, missing talismanic forward and record scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, regained their composure and dominated the rest of the game but were hopelessly ineffective in attack. They had 12 efforts blocked and 11 went wide while they also won 11 corners to one for the hosts. Swiss midfielder Granit Xhaka was sent off for a second bookable offence in stoppage time as tempers flared. "I am sure we will start winning and winning and winning... and I'm convinced we will be at the World Cup." The visitors looked comfortable until Switzerland won a free kick in the 23rd minute.
