Ronaldo, Portugal win but trail Swiss in WCup qualifying
LUCERNE, Switzerland — Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and missed a penalty in Portugal’s 4-1 win over Latvia in World Cup qualifying on Sunday, but the European champion still trails group leader Switzerland.
Switzerland kept its 100 percent record with a fourth straight win but was often labored in beating the Faeroe Islands 2-0.
Goals in each half from recalled forward Eren Derdiyok and captain Stephan Lichtsteiner were enough on a rain-swept evening.
