108th min: Portugal 1 Vs France 0
Catch all the exciting updates here....
GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eder hits a screamer from outside the bix in 108th minute and Portugal leads 1-0! This game has just become interesting. France are about to lose at their home in a major competition! What a strike from Eder.
90+2 min GIGNAC HITS THE POST! He’s done a Rensenbrink! It was a brilliant piece of play from the substitute Gignac. He received a low cross from Evra at the near post, on the six-yard line, and turned ingeniously away from Pepe – not once but twice – before scuffing his shot past Patricio and onto the inside of the near post.
75 min- Another terrific save from Rui Patricio denies Giroud! It was created by the superb Coman, who played a cute little pass into the box for Giroud, who cracked an excellent left-footed shot towards the far bottom corner that was palmed away by the plunging Rui Patricio.
72 min Portugal’s attacking has been hopeless. I can only see them winning this on penalties.
71 min A precis of the excitement in the last five minutes:
67 min Portugal make their second substitution, with Joao Moutinho replacing Adri
66 min What a miss from Griezmann! Pogba drilled a beautiful long pass to the substitute Coman on the left wing. He came infield and curled an inswinging cross that dipped over the head of a defender and found Griezmann six yards out. Somehow, and I have no idea how, he headed it wide. What a chance!
62 min Joao Mario is rightly booked by English referee Mark Clattenburg for a cynical trip on Giroud. There’s very little happening in a creative sense, though Evra has just won a corner forFrance.
45min: half time... still no goal on both sides
27 min Portugal have moved to a 4-1-4-1 now, with Nani up front on his own. That’s fair enough as they were being overrun in midfield.
24 min Ronaldo throws his armband to the floor in anger. He needs a stretcher to be helped off, and is in tears again as he hands the armband to Nani before being helped onto a stretcher. This is one of the saddest things I’ve ever seen on a football field. He’s applauded off by both sets of fans.
23 min Ronaldo can barely run. He still manages to hobble towards a left-wing cross that is headed clear by Umtiti, and Joao Mario volleys well wide from 20 yards.
17 min Ronaldo’s in tears; he must know his final is over. Oh man, sport can be stunningly cruel sometimes. It was a fair tackle from Payet, who caught him with his follow through.
8 min Payet puts in a strong challenge on Ronaldo near the halfway line, taking man and ball. Ronaldo looks in quite a lot of pain and is being treated, and booed.
6 min Portugal almost score out of nothing. The right-back Cedric hammers a long pass over the top to Nani, who runs beyond Koscielny, takes the ball down on his chest and then, as it bounces up, larrups it over the bar from 15 yards.
4 min: Ronaldo is being booed - but so are all the other Portugal players whenever they touch the ball. They look a little overwhelmed at the moment and need to get into the game quick smart.
3 min This is the fast start we expected. Carvalho follows Fonte by playing the ball straight into touch. Portugal are all over the place here.
Kick off - 7:50
