Ronaldo it's Cristiano [Applause] Ronaldo that is lovely ra Le big chance oh nearly but nearly is nothing that's a little unfortunate he had a lot of people worried [Applause] then Modric [Applause]

Ruben Dias moved on forwards vtina Uno Mendes well now here's a good battle bicep to bicep oh he's enjoyed that he evidently loves the contest oh good ball Rafael Le oh that puts no routine save well as Tes go Peter the keeper has just received an A+ grade rafhael Le that's a decent hit no mistake two and we've barely begun here oh high quality goal lovely first touch Sumptuous second [Applause] Portugal grab a couple of goals without reply it's 2-n no doubt as to who has the momentum here now the only doubt is how many is coming and he's had it nicked away Leva really was well Marshal there because he was denied the opportunity to to [Applause] turn SSA and it's Modric it's an inviting looking ball [Applause] that to [Applause] kovic Shalo gently done Pedro Netto threads one in he's through here he's got away play out towards the right wing oh the balls come loose here there's a beautiful Simplicity about this contest willing running on one side dogged defense on the other well you could see he was eager to get a shot away but there was too much flesh and bone in his path kovic kovic going full tilt down the left and he goes Cross Field and it's perisic and it's [Applause] Modric out to the right lovely bit of skill and it's played into the middle rafhael Lea ball played for matus Nunes oh what a ball Modric forwards and with intent interesting ball and that's been lever clear and here's perisic massive leap and that has been cleared Cristiano Ronaldo Pedro Neto Cristiano Ronaldo ball played for matus Nunes Raphael Lea that's good play hit into the middle oh he's got a crucial Block in there well it looked promising for a moment but it came to [Applause] nothing oh that's an inviting ball that'll be a corner they've played it short and he's there to clear it vtina now who's going to be first to this and he's there to get it away shiao Canelo there's the delivery goalkeeper's ball Sosa kovic [Applause] Xiao Canelo for Pedro Netto vtina Andre Palin Xiao Canelo ball played for matus [Applause] Nunes Nuno Mendes Rafael le rapael le Sosa gets good distance on it picked out brilliantly now the counter spread out to the left ah such a clever touch tries to get it clear Croatia get it back again and here's perisic that's very neat perisic delivers Modric in [Applause] again matus Nunes and it's Cristiano Ronaldo now it's Pedro Netto and it's Canelo oh he's not going to get any further than that well the crowd clearly like what they just saw some real noons defending vtina luno Mendes Rafael Lea it's Cristiano Ronaldo Kovach [Applause] turns back here probably the best option moved forward and quickly [Applause] so oh he's going to be pulled back for that one [Applause] [Applause] yeah that's top defending in preventing him turning which can open up many possibilities looking for options for movement pings in across lva oh good spread [Applause] parich Pepe [Applause] still pretty early days but the difference in Fortune is very clear nice control luno Mendes with the [Applause] cross vtina plays a sharp little ball here perisic the ball is loose and the chase is on and it's Modric in once more diving header oh taken with style oh Super Header wonderfully acrobatic yeah a diving header is always a pleasurable sight and that was just about perfect [Applause] [Applause] we have got ourselves a game here well it was important they didn't get ahead of themselves and lose their discipline this game plan could near well reward them with an equalizer oh super there's the shot goal and this is getting better and better and that is about as cool as they could he picks his spot expertly well entry via the post is at the widest possible point which means a keeper is well and truly [Applause] beaten portug go two up and into a position of real strength listen it's up to them now how they think about it from here because for me it's crying out for them to force the issue kovic perisic perisic hling down that right flank look movement creates more options and that was really sharply done [Applause] Uno Mendes Portugal leading here after what's been an eventful start to the game here's patina and it's Canelo machus Nunes [Applause] there's the [Applause] cross pinches it off him and Croatia can Counterattack [Applause] now out to the left it goes oh that's neat now here's the delivery Ruben di tries to clear brzovic [Applause] bounce of passing here really easy Li [Applause] [Applause] and the defense can get it clear and it's kovic no he's not getting his way this time Pedro Netto Pedro Netto on a hatrick what do you think that'll mean to him Jim I think it'll mean a huge amount to him the way he's been playing I fully expect him to turn his two goals into three his appetite has been brilliant and he totally merits a third he looks a really hungry player right now Leva is fouled [Applause] it's terich it's loose and there's a race for the [Applause] ball kovic and that's been lever clear [Applause] TR palino luno Mendes rapael Lea this is promising Pedro Netto and now they can clear their lines could move up a gear here he is through here and the Finish it's run loose who's going to get there rafhael Lea and it's Canelo and it's Canelo ball played for matus Nunes played out to the right in with a header yes and they are pulling clear here look that was a a technical interaction of great football that has gone down a treat [Applause] [Applause] so now the difference is three well that's really winded the opposition you can see their manager screaming on the touchline telling his team to calm down but they'll need to do that pretty quickly it's composure from here brovich Lev lacking in accuracy [Applause] vtina Xiao Canelo matus Nunes good spot he's seen the run it's a loose ball they get a throw in [Applause] and that is out and behind it's a good [Applause] block and the keeper beats it [Applause] away matus Nunes Pedro Neto now it's Pedro Netto just eases him off the ball good run ultimately for by an astute piece of Defending croud appreciates good football all around there and it's played [Applause] forward oh here's a chance that tested the keeper well if they hope to have any chance of turning this round they have to abandon their shoot on site policy it's just not working gets his pass away he can get that clear and it's [Applause] perisic that was very necessary that's a good intervention that was what he had to make in the face of danger that was growing now it's Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo luno Mendes with the cross and that has been cleared played back in knocks it away now it's perisic Leva now it's perisic and back to the goalkeeper TR pinho [Applause] Uno Mendes and it's Pepe here patina rafhael Lea looking for the runner Ronaldo was alert to the possibilities but in the end it's fruitless kovic shifted up field he ran himself into trouble there free kick given away Nuno Mendes now it's Rafael Le stood up well to him there rapael Leo really needed Lev has got himself a free kick [Applause] [Applause] luno Mendes to Pepe Uno Mendes and it's Pepe levaya juranovic and here's perisic it's perisic no he's missed it perisic just had too many bodies around him he would have done remarkably well to score from there machus Nunes for Xiao Canelo TR Pala Portugal finding their passes fiddles it through whatever happens that's the kind of movement which raises hope cleared [Applause] away keeper has taken decisive [Applause] action he is just caressing the ball now Pala n Mendes matus Nunes there's the delivery cross deflected over the goal line for a corner and it's been taken short and that's been leave it clear played it again cleared without complication [Applause] P Raphael Lea played out to the Left Flank lovely feet and he's gone backward here well played for matus Nunes vtina over to the left ball played for matus Nunes and that's a Cristiano Ronaldo he was berating his defense before making the save and he's at it again now machus Nunes no he wasn't going to let him past now that's well seen two and no that is pretty much the end of that Pepe Pedro Neto spread out to the left nice physical challenge well he had a really good run at goal there but the defense just weren't going to let him past [Applause] now it's Cristiano Ronaldo Raphael Lea L mendz and it's Pepe and it's Pepe sends it Forward here's Ina Pepe Uno Mendes here's patina shiao Canelo swings in across y it's a corner real chance oh the balls went loose here and it's hoisted clear and now a sudden chance to

Raphael Le youo Mendes great run on the overlap here a lovely feedi is such a good mover Raphael Le oh look at the space here a reprieve orbe it perhaps momentary some terrific running on the ball there those efforts are not going unappreciated kovic does really well to win the ball there gets his pass away well it's a move of great promise but will it really prove productive it carries far too far and out of play vtina and Pala luno Mendes rapael Lea ball played for matus Nunes some really good ball movement this might spell take Pedro nto [Applause] they've played it short Keepers dealt with that Croatia can start a counter here Uno [Applause] Mendes and it's play forward Leva [Applause] TR pinho and it's pepeo Mendes and it's Pepe and it's Pepe vtina for Pedro Netto and it's Canelo swung over that's going to go a long way Modric did well to emerge with the ball that's a contest to keep an eye on that needed to end with efficiency and incision and we got neither Pedro Netto oh good spread Great Leap they've scored yet another goal in an awesome performance they are in complete charge what a great header got plenty on that well look it's it's often the timing of the jump that dictates what you can do with any header and if you get it slightly wrong then you'll struggle but that was beautifully met it really was and there was his third and boy he looks the business doesn't he just this is frightening football he has increased defensive fear on the way to that [Applause] hatrick it's become a case of men against boys kovic shifted up field and it's perisic perisic perisic delivers Ruben di gets it away here comes another cross and he's there to clear it brovich plays it short and it's Modric he's going for goal now who's going to be first to this

it was achievable Peter but it needed his best excellent challenge there uncompromising TR pinho well that's beautifully weighted no that's been intercepted well that had the makings of something quite promising but it's fizzled out into [Applause] nothing that's a [Applause] throw and it's Modric it's run loose who's going to get there [Applause] the pressing is intense and it's paid off Raphael Lea Lun Mendes moved forward and quickly so [Applause] oh that's nice he's had it taken off him Modric defending his Corner stubbornly stood up very well to his man Pedro Neto that looks a good it's Cristiano Ronaldo keeper always had the measure of that [Applause] match Nunes well that is one way to stop him well he is the type of character who Rises to this sort of Challenge and he will be back for more excellent challenge there uncompromising now it's Rafael Lea Pedro [Applause] Netto well it seems as if he's just had a momentary lapse and and slipped into tunnel vision because he had good options around him and he failed to get his head up great defending strong and determined well the defense proved infallible then but that won't be the last they'll see of [Applause] him
