well Derek when he's on form when he's focused he's a brilliant Runner with the ball he can take on players he can go past people with ease and he's got a great shot on him as well I'm really looking forward to watching him play today and we're with you every step of the way live coverage here on eatv hello and welcome absolutely ideal weather for football here in Manchester at the etti Hat I'm Derek Ray and delighted to have Stuart Robson sharing commentary duties with me and the general feeling is we should be in for a spellbinding occasion it's Portugal against England well Derek as is always the case the team that dominates Midfield will be the team that controls the flow of the game and that for me is the area that's key today the England first 11 Jordan pford is the keeper Luke shst starts with Kyle Walker as fullbacks Jude Bellingham starts alongside Dean rice in central Midfield and the main Striker today is Harry [Applause] Kane greish full marks for getting past him sa Pair of Hands did his job given his magnificent form then there's every reason to believe that Cristiano Ronaldo will make an impact here well Derek he's a great all round player but it's an ability to run in behind Defenders that makes him such a threat and when he gets one V one against the goalkeeper he usually scores how about the [Applause] cross a really single-minded piece of Defending to make sure nothing unto happen [Applause] oh him with a Chance keeper did his job to begin with well they can keep possession now bukayo Saka now Harry Kane Kane greish can he put them in front and that's a straightforward [Applause] stop joal Canelo oh fine play and maybe it'll set something up and space to cross [Applause] it well the Defenders know they need to get tighter can't really allow runs like that oh that surely had to go in but marvelous defending with the game level let's see see what they can do with this corner oh the keeper made it look routine it was anything but Corner once more they must clear their lines [Applause] quickly textbook closing down and now they're on the attack Christiano Ronaldo Aldo striding forward with confidence well as you can see England have controlled the possession in the last 15 minutes and have looked great going forward they just need to take one of the chances they've created to get themselves ahead [Applause] today considerable momentum courtesy of Ronaldo but what can he produce from here oh that is a Super Save well he had to finish that but credit to the goalkeeper that's a brilliant stop delivering it oh can they keep it out oh chance taken there is opportunism for you but a disappointed goalkeeper well let's take another look at this and from the attacking point of view everything's right the shot across the goalkeeper players coming in for the rebound and there's not much the goalkeeper could do about that he made a good effort on on the first one couldn't react to the [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] second for the one then number seven Cristiano Ronaldo substitution for the host coming off the pitch number 14 that's how to keep the opposition at Bay 21 and Bellingham really fine piece of Defending play to break it [Applause] up not a huge chunk of added time one minute and so the halim whistle is sounded well the ball is moving again and work to do for England can they up their game in this second half [Applause] Ronaldo well there was impending danger but good [Applause] defending gallager might be a chance to break a real opening now superb stop bin well the story surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo is usually a positive one and tonight no exception well Derek he took his goal oh Stewart they might be on to something oh that's textbook [Applause] goalkeeping and over it comes that is a very fine challenge in difficult circumstances well the fans are certainly having their SA just listen to them they thought that was a penalty so England behind and looking for inspiration from this [Applause] corner this could be the equalizer but oh what an important save how about that well at least he hit the target but he should really beat the keeper from there they should be level now substition for the host so deciding to make a personel change at this juncture on the pitch number Phil 30 minutes left for [Applause] play well a bit wasteful from England foden oh big chance and the Keeper's hand does the trick otavio really getting stuck in and teammates around him and it might be and I think In fairness the keeper was expecting to be worked a bit more I can't believe he didn't score there mind you nor can he chance to equalize and he's done it par again a magnificent game unfolding [Applause] well here we can see again look at the way he Glides past the defender to create space for himself and the movement is good making for a comfortable finish it's a really great [Applause] goal so underway again here on the back of that leveler [Applause] oh what an opportunity and he's firing against the post they've all be gone and ground another one two goals in quick succession now they have the lead no wonder they're [Applause] celebrating well as you can see he's so alive to the rebound he's first to react and then he gets his reward it's a good goal well two one it is [Applause] here in a decent position now stopped a certain goal Kan oh and the flag goes up well he needs to be more aware there he didn't work hard enough to stay on side two Walker here it is now a substitution number 22 Trent Alexander [Music] arold otavio it's a promising move from Portugal and keeping it out [Applause] just 10 minutes to go foden this could finish it it's come off the keeper well nothing un to happened there might very well be late excitement 5 minutes left and the margin just one defensive Brazilians to shut them down and pressing from the front Dean rice now Harry Kane poor attempt at a pass really and he might be through here and what a magical save it was well the corner it is and they know they've got to be opportunistic at this stage of the game time for a change then who can they pick out and over the by line it goes so goal kick coming up here and the final whistle is sounded England Victorious plenty of plus points and Stuart your analysis well Derek it was a tight game both sides had their moments and chances but overall they just about shaded it a well- earned Victory well you know when our colleagues in the newspapers come out with the grades for this match he's going to get very high marks well I enjoyed watching him today his work rate skill and movement were excellent and he fully deserved to score that winning goal [Applause]
