FULL MATCH: Portugal v Spain | 2018 FIFA World Cup

eight days ago portugal regularly used a 4-4-2 formation in qualifying whether gay dash plays just behind ronaldo or alongside him we will just have to wait and see [Music] portugal have played in more world cups with cristiano ronaldo than without this their fourth with their talisman it's their seventh world cup in all gianluca rocky from italy is in charge to italian assistance ryuji sato from japan is the fourth official [Music] and back in moscow there is the lineup of var officials led by massimiliano irati from italy [Applause] david de gea was an ever present in qualifying many of the spanish team we know would have started no matter who the coach is sergio pasquez is arguably spain's most important player andres iniesta scored the extra time winner when spain beat the netherlands in the 2010 world cup final sergio ramos captains spain new coach fernando hierro was ramos his hero when he was growing up diego costa leads the attack four of this starting eleven started the world cup final in south africa eight years ago fernando santos portugal qualified for this world cup on his 63rd birthday last october by beating switzerland and i bet he never thought he'd be sitting there fernando hierro the former spanish international real madrid defender promoted from his post of sporting director to head coach foreign [Music] [Applause] a huge roar as this match gets underway spain and portugal who have both lost their opening match in the last two world cups the stage is set here in sochi for what could be a world cup classic to remember for many years it is a humid night despite the late kickoff time it's nine o'clock in the evening here local time to iberian neighbours cristiano ronaldo facing four of his real madrid teammates portugal in the all red spain tonight in there change colors of white with the red trim won by david silva it's away by jose font looking for the run up front of guadesh ronaldo little double step over to start with [Applause] pepe here's william [Applause] good adam [Applause] shot was blocked but maybe portugal can get a shot in here good opening from the 2016 european champions they've won 79 of their competitive matches under fernando santos just two defeats in 29. that's for spain the start of a new era under fernando hierro they were unbeaten and julian lopetegui and i wonder what he's feeling now the deposed national team coach who was unveiled as real madrid's new coach yesterday ronaldo is that a penalty it is inside the opening three minutes cristiano ronaldo fouled in the penalty area and portugal have the opportunity to take the lead the challenge coming in [Applause] from nacho ronaldo sent sprawling [Applause] and straight away the italian official pointed to the spot [Applause] cristiano ronaldo has scored seven penalties for portugal but he's scored only three goals in his previous 13 world cup finals appearances he's the only portuguese player to score at three different world cups can he be the only portuguese player to score at four different world cups ronaldo against david de gea [Applause] it's one nil portugal and was there ever any doubt what a start for portugal de gea goes one way ronaldo goes the other it's his 82nd goal for portugal on his 151st appearance it just had to be him [Applause] portugal could not have dreamt of a better beginning to their opening group b fixture it's a nightmare start for fernando hierro and spain played in field by pk ramos [Applause] yodi alba [Applause] spanish fans all a little quiet there are large numbers of supporters of both these countries here in sochi turn is by moutinho [Applause] ronaldo [Applause] [Music] free kick portugal challenged by busquets cristiano ronaldo is the first player in history to score at eight successive major tournaments he just keeps creating records and you know he's only 33 years old and given his physical condition you really wouldn't bet against him being in qatar in four years time provided portugal qualify to appear at a fifth world cup finals [Applause] ramos sergio ramos ended yesterday's media conference which was full of questions about the managerial and coaching situation with spain by saying cheer up we're not at a funeral let's get this world cup started and with that he stood up and promptly marched out of the room he did say it with a smile on his face it has to be said but there'll be no smiles in the spain camp at the moment ronaldo clearly fouled you can see the referee's position an absolutely unimpeded view and ronaldo does what he does best incidentally talking of him playing at a fifth world cup finals in four years time no player has actually scored at five different world cup finals [Applause] no doubting fernando aeros pedigree former spanish international real madrid defender 29 goals in 89 appearances for spain played at three world cup finals there was nobody better placed really than the sporting director of the spanish football association or the spanish football federation to give it its correct idol isco looking for diego costa here's iniesta spain really haven't had a prolonged spell of possession so far here's nacho [Applause] cocaine couldn't keep hold of it ramos [Applause] basquettes ramos two on that far side and two in the penalty area hoping to get on the end of it the shot comes in from silva [Applause] you see david silva here in a little bit of space the fourth highest goal scorer for spain skying that one his international debut way back in 2006 david silva who was an unused substitute in the 2010 world cup final victory played back by pk ramos [Applause] if you have just joined us portugal in front cristiano ronaldo with an early penalty after he was fouled in the penalty area baskets it was in fact portugal's quickest world cup goal since 1966 when they reached the semi-finals with the great eusabio and company only to be beaten in the last four by the eventual champions england [Applause] now does a little flick on great ash was trying to get on the end of it alba here's ramos quickly forward by isco no free kick you can hear the reaction from the spanish supporters as albert took a tumble rupert tricia made one appearance at the last world cup before being injured [Applause] portuguese goalkeeper incidentally one of four sporting players in the portuguese squad who have this week served notice on their club that they wish to terminate their contract because after a rather unsavory incident at the club's training ground and that mata will now go to court william chelsea martinez and bruno fernandez are the others [Applause] pk [Applause] here's ramos spain's captain who always sees a lot of the ball as he brings it out from defence alba we're going to take on pepe isco that's a corner spain's first corner of the match and they've taken it short plenty of bodies forward in white for spain no way through for iniesta [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] costa is the target there's a little bit of debate as to whether it would be sergio costa playing up front or maybe rodrigo the other striker diego costa has won the day here's raphael guerrero [Applause] ronaldo jose font hasn't played a great deal of uh football in the past year the portuguese center half font who's now with chinese club delian yifang nacho the man who gave away the penalty busquets [Applause] iniesta [Applause] diego costa again there's targets in the middle cross was too deep though easily gathered by rui patricio [Applause] hierro is like a boxer tricks on the edge of the technical areas constantly moving up and down urging his players the newly installed spanish national coach this is raphael guerrero [Applause] just that little bit of pressure from koster meant the slight mis-kick from the goalkeeper kwedesh just beaten to it by koke here's pk [Applause] worked out wide by isco ramos [Applause] isco iniesta [Applause] slowly making strides forward spain iniesta again [Applause] silva wanted the ball played forward to him picked up on this at near side by nacho away by ronaldo and portugal might be able to break away here it's gonzalo quaydash and ronaldo making the run on this near side kwadash will have to go all the way on his own the pass was on for a fraction of a second there to ronaldo but the portuguese captain had to check his run for fear of going offside you see gwedesh here just having a little look to his left [Applause] and then rather run up a cul-de-sac [Applause] pk [Applause] referee was just waiting there to see what might happen and as moutinho challenged for it then it was gwadesh who was caught is the first player to be cautioned then tonight and spain have some defending to do it's a promising position this for portugal and you know who wants it as well it's the familiar setup [Applause] will he go for goal will he drive it in hoping to get a touch from a teammate [Applause] everyone knows what's coming but portugal do have somebody else out there just in case the free kick comes in a different direction it is ronaldo it's straight into the wall look at the power behind this two portuguese players though in the wall committing the fell here's nacho pk general pk who will retire from international football for spain after this world cup [Applause] [Music] one of the six players in this squad who were in 2010 when spain lifted the trophy silva ramos caught by iniesta isn't going to get on the end of that one not had a great deal of service so far tonight diego costa [Applause] [Music] [Applause] now those header this is william pepe might well be the last major tournament that we see at pepe and jose font together in the heart of the portuguese defence pepe now 35 years of age font now 34 [Applause] little touch forward from cocaine costa held up by pepe isco content to let that ball roll for a spanish throw gramos [Music] [Applause] looking to pull it back and the shot is deflected wide from david silva [Applause] spain win their second corner iniesta crucial in that build-up [Applause] bullbar one back for portugal it was towards pk a little touch from bernardo silva and portugal away it's three against two here if the ball can be played correctly ronaldo in field and spain just able to get back [Applause] kwedesh unable to apply the finishing touch to a scintillating breakaway move spain really struggling to get back in numbers the little touching field from ronaldo but spain were back that's twice now that portugal have broke away from deep inside their own half approaching the midway point of the first half portugal in front and they have never lost a world cup match when they have scored the opening goal 12 wins out of 13. the other ending all square and looking to expunge bitter memories from four years ago when they lost four nil to germany in their opening match topic from bernardo silva finds guerrero ronaldo's in the middle long ball forward looking for diego costa up against pepe pepe gets the head up and goes down play continues it's diego costa can he get the shot away koster scores and while spain celebrates portugal are extremely upset about the manner of that goal they felt there was a clear foul there on pepe there you can see the portuguese defender down on the ground but what brilliant skill var is checking for a potential foul by diego costa that check has been completed [Applause] and the goal stands there's the incident pepe goes down look how many defenders are back here for portugal diego costa all on his own unable to fire it past rui patricio [Applause] portugal won spain one and this match which promised so much is at the moment most certainly delivering who was it it was saying a few minutes ago that diego costa hadn't had much service yeah i'll admit that it is still swelteringly hot here in sochi [Applause] such a humid night but an enthralling engrossing group b fixture morocco and iran the other two teams in this group isco alba here's iniesta alba's continuing his run forward oh it's off the underside of the bar diego cluster can he bundle it in rui patricio with the save now the flag is up on this near side [Applause] and that may well have been for offside isco is asking for var to have a review of his shot but goal line technology would have alerted the referee to the fact that the ball had crossed the line what an effort that was from isco [Applause] spain stung by that early portuguese penalty right back in it [Applause] the momentum of this match at the moment certainly with the team in white [Applause] alba ramos [Applause] okay [Applause] alba silva diego costa 4-1 fairly well you can see that bruno fernandez is going to be fat cautioned well he thought it was a fair challenge and initially it didn't appear as though the assistant on this near side had raised his flag bruno fernandez is shown yellow [Applause] silver and croquet standing behind this free-kick for spain [Applause] everybody back for portugal silva look at the angle of his run-up if it is to be him top corner will be the target you would presume [Applause] ramos waiting in the penalty area at the moment he's just in an offside position [Applause] the nation awaits silva straight into the wall [Applause] clearance not too far though okay easily away by font greatest too high for ronaldo taken down by silva guerrero made the run on the overlap here he has the fullback ronaldo here's william fernandez [Applause] been a busy evening so far for the italian official but as you can see here the ball the whole of the ball did not cross the line spain felt there might have been a handball there from font flag was up for an offside against koster anyway here is costa score of the spanish equalizer this is font 24 minutes his first shot on target at a world cup might be a little fresher than the rest he didn't play for six months at the end of last year you remember after his dispute with his former club chelsea in england before moving back to his former club atletico madrid incidentally this spanish squad have played an awful lot of club football over the last year spain squad have played more club football last season than any other world cup nation a total of 85 554 minutes between the 23 of them [Applause] it's gone we'll try and keep that in and does so it's away by cedric iniesta silva's in a little bit of room on this near side pk iniesta what an emotional farewell it was for him from barcelona at the end of last season off to pastures new in japan with visel kobe in the j league [Music] busquets silva ramos iniesta picked up by william ronaldo set off on a run ahead of him but wasn't spotted by the portuguese midfielder [Applause] portugal's throw was it well the referee has brought play back [Applause] bernardo silva took the throw quickly and cristiano ronaldo was away and actually the throw was awarded by the referee the other way see here the ball goes out of play taken very quickly by silva but erroneously [Applause] isco here's nacho patient build up from spain cocaine trying to find a way through onto the end of his own pass one back by silva pk been a good period of play for spain since their equalizer iniesta alba made a run forward but was in an offside position silva loses out ramos cocaine here's nacho [Applause] ramos isco [Applause] lovely interplay from spain the little pullback iniesta [Applause] problems mounting for fernando sanchos and portugal the man who scored the most important goal in spanish football history so close to putting them ahead here and it might just have got a little touch on the way through as well [Applause] all three of fernando hierro the new coaches internationals against portugal ended as draws when he was a player [Applause] and we have just under 10 minutes plus stoppage time to go in the first half here portugal one spain one iniesta isco can't get a shot away this time great ash the nil back heel was a little blind i wasn't quite sure who was behind him there fortunately for portugal william was [Applause] pk guerrero happy not to suffer the same fate in russia as he did last year at the confederations cup when he broke his foot the portuguese left back silva initially backtrack quickly fernando santos who was in charge of greece at the last world cup in brazil he reached the round of 16 words that grace but lost on penalties to costa rica [Applause] ramos [Applause] isco nachos pass from pk oh superbly kept in by alba iniesta costa and it results in a corner alba was the target put behind by pepe [Applause] [Applause] busquets is just behind costa in the penalty area ramos is there as well pk is forward for spain so is isco [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] too high for ramos busquets almost got to it [Applause] there's guerrero moutinho finds cedric font finds guerrero ronaldo bernardo silva bruno fernandes [Applause] [Music] [Applause] possibly the longest spell of possession of portugal have enjoyed for a few minutes font got a touch on the way through portuguese throw we've got two balls in play at the moment which is why one of them is going to have to be kicked off the pitch [Applause] you do wonder who will be the happier of these two teams if it stays this way at half time will it be fernando or fernando santos santos to be honest never really looks very happy does he but he did crack a smile during the media conference yesterday on one or two occasions although portugal who fielded joao moutinho and fernando santos to the world's media yesterday were a little aggrieved shall we say that most of the questions were all about the spanish coaching position and the chaos in the spanish camp ahead of this fixture but it has to be said with so much experience in the spanish lineup that this team can almost manage itself referee thought about an advantage there decided against it [Music] foul on costa after the early challenge on busquets okay just ensuring that he doesn't get a yellow card for that challenge [Applause] spain very much stretched right across the full width of this pitch at the moment cook it [Applause] silver isco this goes shot [Applause] he's got 10 goals for spain esco in his 29 appearances now for his country and it was carlo ancelotti's first signing when he took over at real madrid back in 2013. iniesta here's alba [Applause] oh not the best of clearances away has to be said but in his defense there were spanish strikers looming behind guerrero [Applause] it's a fourth corner then for spain [Applause] towards pk gathered by rui patricio and the quick throw as well here's cristiano ronaldo portugal looking to break again they've not been successful on the two previous occasions and spain now have men back in numbers william [Applause] [Music] silva cedric drives it across ronaldo the target [Applause] awkward bouncing ball william may get that the height advantage over andres iniesta very much coming into play there greadesh on side ronaldo wasn't initially ronaldo with the shot oh it's gone and cristiano ronaldo gets portugal's second goal of the night his second goal of the night and very much against the run of play portugal are back in front [Applause] there's the ball forward great ash able to take it down and ronaldo's shot should have been comfortable for david de gea what an error one that will haunt david de gea for years to come because just before half time cristiano ronaldo has turned this group match back in portugal's favour 22 goals in his last 18 internationals for cristiano ronaldo and portugal of course scored twice against a spanish side who conceded just three goals in their 10 qualifying matches as we go into an additional minimum of one minute i don't know about you i don't particularly want half time to come it has been fantastic fair silver [Applause] ramos alba looking to take on cedric spain get another corner and this may well be the last passage of play in the first half as you can see we are almost at the additional one minute stage corner taken quickly referees had a good look at his watch what a first half that was in sochi cristiano ronaldo putting portugal in front with an early penalty and then in front again with a late goal that oh much to an error from david de gea diego costa with the goal for spain it's been absorbing it's been wonderful it's been engrossing and it has been a fantastic first 45 minutes at the break it is portugal two spain one [Music] [Applause] no changes to either team in terms of personnel as portugal get the second half started here in sochi leading by two goals to one portugal will be hoping fervently there is no change in the scoreline in safaris they have to be leading at the end of the 90 minutes 2-1 they lead at the moment cristiano ronaldo with both goals an early penalty and then a late strike which somehow eluded david de gea in the spanish goal [Applause] diego costa with the goal for spanish side cristiano ronaldo who has a hat-trick has a real habit of scoring hat-tricks if he were to score again tonight it would be his 51st career hat-trick which is simply remarkable isn't it what more can you say about one of the world's greatest ever players and let's face it the debate as to whether leonel messi or cristiano ronaldo is the better is it a little irrelevant let's just enjoy the fact that we have two supreme world talents gracing the world stage at the same time it would also be the 51st world cup finals hat trick if he were to score again spain determined to find a way back into this match and they certainly had very productive spells in the first half either side of the gulp from diego costa spain in white if you have just joined us portugal in the all red well he looked offside and eventually the flag was raised coming into this world cup portugal had lost just one of their last 18 matches that was to the netherlands who aren't here in russia this summer in a friendly in march otherwise 12 wins and five draws that's for spain unbeaten under their former coach lopez nacho on that far side sergio ramos isco cocay okay who won the europa league in europe last year with his club atletico madrid set up a european super cup final against atletico madrid of course won the champions league three weeks ago in kiev ronaldo [Applause] holds it up bernardo silva finds william who if you can work it right to that left-hand side here's guerrero kurdish was the target not found iniesta can't find his way past two and in the end the shot is worldwide [Applause] it's gone 43 866 the attendance here in sochi tonight looked to be a bit of shirt pulling there and indeed there was no busquets silva trying to get away from william costa awkward bounce for cedric just got there ahead of isco ronaldo beaten in the air by ramos william pk costa at the moment the only man in the middle for spain silva busquets iniesta isco silver we'll work it wide nacho support from koke here he is silva [Applause] nacho cocay it's almost as if the three of them are having a private match by themselves [Applause] portugal just holding firm keeping their shape [Applause] ramos [Applause] see that [Applause] silva's little ball through looking for costa almost dropped there for iniesta [Applause] not quite the same tempo at the beginning of this second half as there was through the majority of the first [Applause] alba's little touch back no way through for iniesta tied it up by cedric pepe ramos busquets finds this go [Music] nacho is in a little bit of space on that far side here he is [Applause] isco [Applause] couldn't find silva lovely little drop of the shoulder there spain pick up again iniesta anders iniesta foul right under the nose of the referee [Applause] [Applause] who was one of those who missed a penalty in the semi-final shootout defeat to spain at the 2012 european championship finals is this too far out for a shot on goal silver on the rider he's behind the ball cocaine standing in front of it silva with a little chip back across goal turned in diego costa strikes again a simple free-kick move from spain and for the second time tonight in sochi spain have equalized vr is checking for a potential foul in the build-up to this goal the check has been completed and the goal stands costa on the end of it close range wasn't going to miss from there the spanish nation rejoices two goals from ronaldo both wiped out by diego costa [Applause] [Music] and that in all honesty was the first meaningful action of this second half [Music] eight goals in his last eight starts for spain no wonder they're delighted [Applause] [Music] ramos goes down under the challenge no free kick saying to the referee that he thought he was fouled [Applause] i'll tell you he'll be the most relieved man inside the stadium here in sochi with that equalizer and that'll be david de gea the spanish goalkeeper [Applause] his error now in the great big scheme of things doesn't really matter because it is back level at two apiece [Applause] pk silva [Applause] pique iniesta's touch cut out by bernardo silva ronaldo william here's isco now for spain ronaldo barely bothering really to try and win the ball back for his team here's this go steps away from bernardo silva alba isco alba silva persistence from spain now it might drop for the shot here oh what a shot that is nacho the man who gave away the penalty early on in this match has redeemed himself in style they didn't look to be a way through here for spain but the trio of spanish players somehow worked it through it set up really nicely for the fullback look at nachos eyes concentrating fully it's a lovely strike curling bending in off the post wow spain three portugal two now just look at his face [Applause] [Music] we have still to reach the hour mark this has the potential to be a game to be remembered for years to come now ronaldo wants a yellow card for the challenge on him are some officials who may well have been tempted to book the portuguese captain for his reaction as he went down there [Applause] man portugal behind for the first time this evening [Applause] half cleared this is bruno fernandes [Applause] here's nacho strike again his first goal for his country he's actually an inspiration nacho he's had diabetes since he was a child and was told age 12 that he should give up football a second opinion said otherwise he always carries his insulin kit with him and his proof that [Applause] diabetes is not necessarily a barrier to reaching the very top levels of international sport [Applause] ronaldo couldn't get hold of it straight out of play by pk [Applause] cedric will take the throw the fullback who plays in the english premier league for southampton away comes spain again isco court [Applause] cedric's reaction was not approved of by the referee portuguese defender rather felt that isco went down a little easily there ramos here's pk oh he picked up by ronaldo driven into the middle towards great ash it's just away by ramos [Applause] [Music] this the first corner that portugal have had in this match zhao moutinho will take everybody back for spain virtually everybody forward for portugal towards gwadash able to knock it down font can't control and away comes spain it's go [Applause] gets a foul [Applause] perhaps a little easily but a free kick nonetheless spain have won their opening match just twice in their last 12 world cups three draws and seven defeats one of those defeats came in 2010 when they lost their opening match to switzerland by one goal to nil but they then became the first team to win the world cup despite losing their opening fixture of the tournament [Applause] these two teams most definitely the favorites to make it through from group b morocco and iran the other two nations in the group [Applause] it is iran next for spain morocco next for portugal first change of the night is about to happen down below mario is about to come on for portugal silva steps away from the challenge there of bruno fernandez iniesta [Applause] alba [Applause] worked out why to nacho taken by rui patricio just might well be bruno fernandez who is going to come off i have no inside knowledge other than the fact that the referee's board is already showing the fourth officials board rather is already showing the numbers 16 and 10 on it trust me if it was a soothsayer i'll be winning the lottery every week chase back for font [Applause] cost of pursuing him pepe [Applause] pepe's crossfield ball away by pk [Applause] moutinho pepe who knows many of these spanish opponents very well indeed having spent 10 years at real madrid silva still going silver just neglected to take the ball with him costa isco [Applause] [Music] pepe and still portugal waits to make the change pepe taken down by ronaldo no way past nacho his real madrid teammate here's william moutinho silva william works it wide guerrero william towards cedric and now the change presumably will be made and it is bruno fernandez who is coming off for portugal [Music] who is with into milan in italy but spent the second half of last season on loan at west ham in the english premier league [Music] [Applause] it is very much a positional change for portugal as we see that spain are going to bring on tiago but it may well have been influenced by the fact that bruno fernandez was the only portuguese player to have been cautioned in this match so far cedric teasing ball away by pk busquets isco really stretching to bring that ball under control silver [Applause] and portugal are about to make a second change as well ricardo caresma the striker is going to come on there he is and so the first of these changes is bernardo silva making way and ricardo karezma comes on in his place now 34 years of age [Applause] and the change for spain sees andres iniesta the man who won the world cup for spain in 2010 go off to a standing ovation and thiago comes on in his place [Applause] tiago born in italy to brazilian parents but moved to spain as a child because of his father's career as a professional footballer you may remember mazzinho who won the 1994 world cup with brazil the back pass is risky ramos is there ahead of ronaldo [Music] [Applause] costa ahead of him first touch for thiago silva [Music] in by alba and turn right across goal by costa [Music] he knows that was a glorious chance spain and portugal both with players on hat tricks now cristiano ronaldo wins both goals for portugal two from diego costa for spain and the all-important third from nacho we're into the last 20 minutes as you can see ronaldo cedric charesma gets his first involvement and wins a corner comes off albert [Applause] ricardo caresma who played in every match as portugal won the european championship finals two years ago charisma's ball moutinho looking to set it up at the far post header back across goal ronaldo keeps it in play spain will whack it clear [Applause] moutinho isco [Applause] [Applause] 50 years old now fernando initially said he didn't want the job when the departure of lopetegui was announced but said he couldn't say no when offered it may well of course return to being spain's sporting director after this world cup [Applause] but for the moment he's the man in the spain hot seat ramos terrific ball nacho trying to find a way through [Applause] busquets [Applause] silva [Applause] tiago ramos chase on here for alba lovely little burst of pace from him there silva with the touch costa couldn't get that william will clear and helped on its way by rafael guerrero portugal have lost just one of their last nine group matches at a world cup that was the opening game four years ago when they lost four nailed to germany [Applause] british william [Applause] pepe [Applause] guerrero charisma screaming for this ball on this near side william loses it costa here's isco okay [Applause] ramos thiago shrugs off the challenge from moutinho costa here's isco faced by cedric successful cedric suarez [Applause] and the foul in the end on charisma [Music] william [Music] ronaldo [Applause] william look how many spanish players are back nine outfield players behind the ball as charisma comes forward blocked by albert [Music] drives it towards goal de gea are always confident it was going high ricardo charesma who made his international debut for portugal all the way back in 2003 but this is actually his first world cup finals appearance and another change for spain lucas vasquez the striker is going to come on [Music] and it will be diego costa [Applause] a change up front diego costa the two-goal hero for spain two equalizers for spain [Applause] lucasfastquest comes on for his first appearance off this world cup he actually didn't play in the world cup qualifiers and it is only his eighth international appearance 26 years of age he'll be 27 on the 1st of july and we'll be fervently hoping that he is celebrating his birthday here in russia [Music] guerrero william guerrero trying to find xiao mario who gives away the free kick charmander who wasn't involved in last year's confederations cup here in russia because he was injured at the time and spain understandably now beginning to take all the time they possibly can over restarting play it is that sort of evening particularly when you've been running around like diego costa has [Applause] another change for portugal andre silva nine goals in qualifying for the milan striker ronaldo de gea has come out ronaldo's touch picked up here by charisma and handball from the portuguese substitute [Applause] and will there be further action taken against ricardo karezma by the italian official high ball over the top it was an awkward one as it bounced de gea just stood his ground and then an arm was used by charisma to control [Applause] meanwhile the change will be made and it is gonzalo quaydash who is the player is coming off andre silva on in his place [Music] andrei silva who was the only outfield player to play in all 10 qualifying matches for at portugal pk will be okay to continue in just a moment or so's time [Music] andre silva who averages basically a goal every other game for portugal he's got 12 goals this is 24th international appearance nacho ramos we're into the last 10 minutes then plus whatever additional time is going to be played will be quite a chunk of that you would think with all the substitutions we've had in this second half silver [Music] [Applause] tiago's little ball in field this is alba ramos you get the feeling spain will be quite happy just to keep possession for the remaining time passing it between themselves but we know that's not going to happen for all of the time busquets [Applause] portugal going to have to gamble a little more the introduction of andre silva will certainly give them a fresh pair of legs up front thiago [Applause] interestingly portugal have never lost when ronaldo has scored more than one goal in a fixture that might be about to change [Music] [Applause] ramos [Applause] thiago silva trying to find lucas lucas vasquez didn't really get hold of it [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] late goals have been a feature of this world cup here in russia so far don't think there will be anybody leaving this stadium a little early it's their time for fernando santos team one moment of magic one mistake at the back they've already benefited from one error from david de gea formed by cedric ronaldo lets it run it is a spain throw now ronaldo might be in trouble here [Applause] not sir [Applause] although in his defense it wasn't the best of uh handling from jordi albert lucas vasquez here's nacho pk [Applause] away by rui patricio ronaldo charisma's on this near side if portugal can work it out to him [Applause] [Applause] lucas [Applause] [Applause] here's pk [Applause] underneath it is cedric not the best of headers thiago lucas vasquez here he is with a little ball through another change for spain so with thiago aspas already on lucas vasquez comes on as well [Applause] david silva the man who makes way [Music] that's the third and final change ronaldo goes down gets a
