Nuno Mendes and Danilo Pereira's Portugal are victorious

Three days after the draw against Spain, Fernando Santos' men were facing Switzerland in the second matchday of the Nations League.

Our two Parisians started the game and played the whole 90 minutes. Danilo Pereira started for the 6th time in his last 7 appearances in central defence, while Nuno Mendes - whose club has just lifted his option to buy - kept his position at left-back that he occupies in Paris.

With Cristiano Ronaldo on fire and scoring a brace, the Portuguese team came away with a dominant victory, taking second place in their group with the most goals scored.
