Portugal young gun Ramos faces tough test from Saiss

DOHA: Portugal coach Fernando Santos put his faith in Goncalo Ramos when he started him against Switzerland, and the young striker responded by scoring a hattrick and leading them to the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time since 2006.

Ramos, 21, made headlines when the teams were announced, picked to lead the attack in place of Portugal’s all-time leading scorer Cristiano Ronaldo who was relegated to the bench. It did not take long for the youngster to become one of the biggest stories of the Qatar World Cup.
