  • Portugal 0-0 France

    62. Big chance for Bruno Fernandes to open the scoring.

    He looks to drill his shot across Maignan but the keeper makes a great save.

    Moments later Vitinha has a shot from close range but Les Bleus keeps them out with another great save.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    60. The delivery from the set piece is poor once again.

    Fernandes has struggled all evening to pick out a teammate from set pieces.

    Ronaldo is starting to look increasingly frustrated.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    58. This game has failed to live up to the hype so far.

    As it stands, this game has extra-time and penalties written all over it.

    Leao gets down the left and almost manages to cut it back from the byline but a great tackle puts it behind for a corner.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    56. Mbappe took a ball in the face from that Portuguese corner resulting in him holding his nose.

    That is the problem with the mask he is forced to wear, if the ball strikes any part of it it will put pressure on that broken nose.

    The game has restarted and Batman is back on the pitch.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    54. Portugal force a corner, Fernandes picks out Bernardo Silva at the back post.

    He looked to head down into the path of a teammate but gets it all wrong.

    France break with pace but Mbappe is stopped in his tracks and stays down holding his nose.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    52. Mbappe shared a great one-two on the edge of the box before getting a first-time shot away.

    He struck it well but it was straight at the keeper.

    A brief glimpse of Real Madrid's new striker there.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    50. Mendes skips past his man down the left and has space to work with.

    As he gets into the penalty area he knocks the ball around the defender and goes to ground looking for a penalty.

    The referee was not going to be fooled by that one, there was no contact whatsoever.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    48. Kolo Maune is finding some space down the right flank.

    Griezmann slips in possession of the ball and Vitinha looks to break with pace.

    His touch eludes him as he gifts the ball back to Les Bleus.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    46. Neither side have made any changes at the break.

    Hopefully, for all of our sake, the managers have given some tactical changes.

    Leao continues to be the only real attacking threat for Portugal.

  • Kick-off: Portugal 0-0 France

    We are back underway in Hamburg.

    This game is well and truly in the balance.

    Portugal get the second half started.

  • HT: Portugal 0-0 France

    Neither side have really stamped their authority as an attacking threat.

    It will be interesting to see if either manager decides to make any changes during the interval or whether they wait.

    Mbappe has been largely redundant in this game as has Ronaldo.

    You have to give it to France, they are consistent at least.

    Four and a half games and each of them just as dull as the last.

    Deschamps mixed up the forward line for a fourth game in a row and once again it has not worked.

    Portugal have been the better of the two sides, with Leao a highlight.

    Kounde was man of the match last time out but he is struggling against the winger.

    We are also still waiting for our two leading men to take centre stage.

    Ronaldo's touches have been limited and Mbappe is struggling to make a real mark when he gets on the ball.

  • HT: Portugal 0-0 France

    There is a distinct lack of shots on target from both sides.

    The final ball has been poor from Portugal and France.

    Rafael Leao has been the one shining light in this game so far.

  • HT: Portugal 0-0 France

    The referee brings the half to a close.

    We have no added time whatsoever at the Volksparkstadion.

    Nothing separates the two teams at the break.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    43. Ronaldo and Fernandes are stood over the ball.

    The Man Utd skipper takes the shot on but cannot keep it down as it sails over the crossbar.

    Ronaldo may use his seniority to take the next one after that effort.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    41. Vitinha wins th ball and works it Fernandes.

    He makes a bee-line towards the box before returning the favour.

    France half-clear the ball but Vitinha is then fouled by Mbappe and wins a free kick in a dangerous position.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    39. Ronaldo holds the ball up well and feeds it to Leao.

    He looks to take on his man but can only force a throw-in.

    This is a very differently paced game to the earlier quarter-final between Spain and Germany.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    37. Bernardo Silva gets to the byline but is well marshalled by Saliba who wins the ball back.

    He calmly clears but Portugal win it back and recycle the ball.

    Cancelo puts a brilliant cross in across the six yard box but Leao cannot get to it at the far post.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    35. Ronaldo is struggling to get away from his markers.

    The Portugal legend doesn't have the legs he once had.

    Against the much younger defenders he is struggling to show a turn of pace.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    33. France are starting to commit their full-backs forward more.

    When they are able to overlap it really stretches Portugal.

    Kante is proving integral to all Les Bleus are doing right now.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    31. Kolo Muane goes on a mazy run but is stopped in his tracks by Pepe.

    He read that situation well there.

    The veteran defender showed that experience can often be more important than pace.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    29. Bernardo Silva is coming deep looking for the ball more.

    The problem with this is, it leaves Portugal with limited attacking options to utilise.

    Cancelo is trying to get forward down the flank but France are coping well with the threat.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    27. Fernandes whips in a cross but Saliba heads clear.

    He will be tasked with ensuring that Ronaldo does not dominate the aerial battle this evening.

    Mbappe shows some great pace on the break but none of his teammates are quick enough to keep up with him and there is no one in the box for him to cross it to.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    25. Portugal have dominated possession early on.

    They seem the more likely of the two teams to score.

    France are struggling to get the ball to Mbappe enough.

  • Portugal 0-0 France

    23. Ronaldo hits the deck as he clashes heads with Hernandez.

    There was no intent from either player, they just collided as they competed for the ball.

    France win possession back and look to come forward once again.
