Goal disallowed

Goal disallowed

  • 9'
    Ronaldo has the ball in the net but it won't count. He is slipped in by Moutinho and he jinks past his man before finding the far corner but he is adjudged to have been offside. A very tight call and Ronaldo, unsurprisingly, isn't happy.
  • 7'
    Bentaleb has one too many touches in midfield and is robbed, but he gets away with it as Ronaldo can only drag an effort wide from 25 yards left-footed.
  • 6'
    Moutinho stands up a cross from the left and Guedes looks destined to meet it unmarked but he can't quite get the and the pressure dissipates.
  • 3'
    Ronaldo has the cigars out already. He makes mugs of a couple of Algerians out on the left and despite having a simple pass on, opts to turn around and do it again. It's like he never went away!
  • 2'
    Ronaldo tries to drill it low and the wall can only deflect it into the path of Moutinho, but Salhi is quickly off his line to smother it away for a corner, which is cleared.
  • 1'
    A dangerous free-kick for the hosts inside a minute as Silva is felled by Medjani right on the edge of the box.
  • 1'
    Portugal get us underway here!

    The players are out on the pitch, the national anthems are sounding and we'll be underway in no time!
  • PRVW
    The warm-ups have been completed here in Lisbon and the start is minutes away!
  • PRVW
    A familiar face in the middle for this one:
  • PRVW
    A strong side as well from the visitors who boast plenty of class in attack with Islam Sliman, Riyad Mahrez and Yacine Brahimi.
  • PRVW
    Algeria: Salhi; Mandi, Bensebaini, Medjani; Benmoussa, Boukhenchouche, Bentaleb, Ferhat; Mahrez, Slimani, Brahimi.
  • PRVW
    So, Cristiano Ronaldo returns for Portugal in what looks to be a very capable side going forward. The Real Madrid man is flanked by Bernardo Silva and Gonçalo Guedes in attack, whilst Rui Patricio returns in goal after Beto sat in for him last time out.
  • PRVW
    Portugal: Rui Patricio; Soares, Pepe, Bruno Alves, Guerreiro; Carvalho, Moutinho, Fenandes; Bernardo Silva, Ronaldo, Guedes.
