The hosts took the lead inside 24 minutes when Bernardo cannoned an effort off the post and into the path of Leao, with the AC Milan forward firing home on the rebound.
And the City midfielder turned provider once again for Portugal’s second, finding Nunes around 35 yards from goal.
Our number 27 drove towards goal and, after shrugging off a couple of challenges, confidently swept home from just inside the Swedish box.
Dias, Nunes, Bernardo and co. were in cruise control, with Fernandes adding a third before half-time from close-range.
It was a similar story after the break with Bruma poking home into an empty net inside ten minutes of the restart for Portugal’s fourth, but Viktor Gyokeres reduced the deficit for the visitors on the hour.
But the hosts would soon double their lead again when Ramos got on the end of Nelson Semedo’s cross from the right for number five.
Two minutes after Portugal’s fifth and last goal of the game, Nunes was removed; nonetheless, Sweden would have the last say, with Gustaf Nilsson providing a late consolation as stoppage time drew near.
