IT’S FINISH ! Portugal did not tremble!
The Seleçao had no trouble overcoming the Turks and logically won (0-3). Ronaldo and his teammates qualify for the round of 16! For its part, Turkey has not yet validated its ticket for the next round.
Another intrusion on the lawn
A fan enters the field to take a photo with CR7, obviously. The game resumes quickly.
5 minutes of added time
Portugal will be there in the round of 16!
Portugal as in training
The Seleçao wanders around the surface and even allows itself to play “too much”.
Vitinha exit
Still huge this evening, he is replaced by Joao Neves, Benfica nugget.
Oh the Portuguese movement!
The Portuguese combine in front of the Turkish area and Fernandes finds a clever pass towards Bernardo Silva, a little too short to beat the goalkeeper!
The game has resumed
And Portugal masters this end of the game.
Pepe’s release
The veteran receives a standing ovation from his fans and is replaced by Antonio Silva.
Match stopped
A few supporters infiltrated the pitch. The game will resume quickly.
Not much rhythm anymore
We feel the Turks resigned, and the Portuguese in total management. There’s not much happening anymore.
Demiral’s Entrance
The former Juve therefore replaces the injured Akaydin.
He will give up his place
Demiral will replace him.
Akaydin is on the ground
He seems to be complaining about his back.
Enter Arda Güler!
The Turkish nugget finally appears. He replaces Akgun.
Exit of Joao Cancelo
He is replaced by Nelson Semedo.
When we talk about the wolf !
Excellent cross from Bernardo Silva from the right towards Ronaldo, who is a little too far ahead of the ball and cannot get his header on target! He was very alone.
Another record for Ronaldo
With this offering for Fernandes, CR7 signed his 7th assist in a Euro. Which makes him the best passer in the history of the competition. Another record for the one who is already the top scorer (14).
Double change on the Turkish side
Yildiz and Yuksek replace Akturkoglu and Ayhan.
FERNANDEEEEES!!
Monumental alignment error from Celik which leaves Ronaldo in play. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner is absolutely alone against the goalkeeper but prefers to play it collectively and offer the goal to Bruno Fernandes. The walk continues! 0-3!
Long shot from Yazici
Vicious shot, because with a rebound, fired by Yazici from outside the area. But Costa catches it without much problem.
Portugal in management
The Seleçao manages the start of the second act peacefully and keeps the ball rolling. No real pressing started by Turkey.
Here we go again !
The Turks kick off this second half!
Double change at the break for Portugal
Neto and Ruben Neves replace Leao and Palhinha, both booked in the first half.
Half time! Portugal leads!
It’s a bronca coming down from the spans! After a good start to the match, Turkey left control to the Portuguese who quickly materialized their superiority. 0-2 for the Seleçao!
One minute of added time
There were few stoppages in play in this first act.
Yellow for Palhinha
He deliberately stops a Turkish counterattack.
The Turks are losing their nerves
The players are nervous with these two goals conceded and are making more mistakes.
Akaydin and Celik sanctioned
Match to forget for Akaydin who tackles Leao with too much commitment. He receives a yellow, just like Celik, furious at the referee’s decision.
Costa catches a shot from Kokcu
The Turks recover high and the Benfica player rushes towards goal. He attempts a shot from the edge of the area, but it is calmly negotiated by Costa.
Another card for Leao for simulation!
He collapsed after a tackle near the surface, and like against the Czech Republic, he received a yellow. As much as it was justified against the Czechs, he just fell and didn’t claim anything. He will be suspended for the match against Georgia.
Ronaldo! It’s above!
Found on the left, at the entrance to the area, he cuts into the axis before unleashing a big shot, which is also not on target.
The Fernandes mine is passing by!
Well served on the right of the area, the Mancunian chooses to strike with power despite the tight angle but it is not on target!
Akturkoglu stumbles on Costa!
Nice number from the Turk on the left side but his shot near the post is deflected by the Portuguese goalkeeper! The Turks need to quickly close the gap!
BUUUUUUT GAG FOR PORTUGAL!!
Joao Cancelo fails to combine with Ronaldo 30 meters from goal and the realization lingers on the pout between the two men. But Akaydin, wanting to give his goalkeeper a break, completely misses and scores against his side. What a cap goal! 0-2!!
Yellow for Bardakci
The defender is penalized for a late tackle. The Galatasaray player, already booked against Georgia, will be suspended for the last group match, against the Czech Republic.
BERNARDO SILVAAAA!!
Portugal opens the scoring! Leao has the ball on the left and is waiting for Mendes to arrive to serve it. The Parisian crosses back: it is touched by a defender, but Bernardo Silva sees the offering arrive in front of him. Too good not to open the score! 0-1!
Pepe’s intervention!
The Turks finally manage to get out of the dry cleaning! They plan ahead but Pepe shatters their hopes with a saving tackle!
Large Portuguese possession
After the Turkish attacks, the Portuguese had their foot on the ball for around ten minutes. 60% possession for the moment in favor of the Seleçao.
CR7 puts Bardakci on his butt
Ronaldesque dribble from him, and the Turkish defender loses his balance. But in the process, the Portuguese star’s center is not very good.
Exciting start to Turkey
They are the ones who show themselves to be the most enterprising and the most dangerous.
45,000 Turkish spectators
Suffice to say that Portugal is playing away this Saturday in Dortmund.
OH THE TURKISH OPPORTUNITY!!
Long crossroad towards Celik, on the right. The former Lille player crosses hard in front of the goal and Akturkoglu passes in front of Cancelo. But he makes a mistake on the foot surface and cannot finish! It was hot !
First Turkish incursion
Turkey manages to force its way into the area but Akturkoglu cannot maintain control and the Seleçao is able to break free.
Ronaldo’s recovery!
Already a rapid transition for Portugal, with Bernardo Silva rushing down the left. He centers towards CR7 but his recovery is too crushed!
Small false start
The kick-off was replayed but it’s off to a good start!
LET’S GO !!
The Portuguese kick off this meeting!
Entrance of the players!
It’s beautiful in Dortmund, as the anthems are about to ring out.
Qualification in 8th at stake
The team that wins this afternoon will validate its ticket for the round of 16. The Turks have not made it past the first round since Euro 2008!
Change of system for Portugal
Roberto Martinez decides to abandon his 3-4-3 to return to a more classic 4-3-3. It is Diogo Dalot who is paying the price for this readjustment. Palhinha comes to strengthen the midfielder, alongside Vitinha and Fernandes.
The lines have fallen, Turkey without its usual goalkeeper or Arda Güler
Diogo Jota is on the bench on the Portuguese side, Vitinha and Ronaldo are there.
There is a change of goalkeeper for Turkey, with number 1 Mert Günok suffering a knee injury. The nugget Arda Güler, diminished by muscular fatigue, is on the bench.
Turkey’s eleven: Bayindir – Celik, Akaydin, Bardakci, Kadioglu – Ayhan, Çalhanoglu – Akgun, Kökçü, Aktürkoglu – Yilmaz.
Portugal’s eleven: Diogo Costa – Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Pepe, Nuno Mendes – Palhinha, Vitinha – Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leao – Ronaldo.
Georgia and the Czech Republic have just neutralized each other
Georgia and the Czech Republic share a draw in Hamburg (1-1).
The updated ranking:
- 1. Türkiye, 3 pts (+2)
- 2. Portugal, 3 pts (+1)
- 3. Czechia, 1 pt (-1)
- 4. Georgia, 1 pt (-2)
