  • 90'
    FT: Morocco (10) 1-0 Portugal!!! It's all over!! Morocco have done it!!! After beating Spain, they've knocked out Portugal thanks to a 42nd minute En-Nesyri header!!! Portugal did everything they could, but it wasn't their day. B Fernandes hit the post while J Felix was denied by a superb Bono stop! Ronaldo's in tears and it's party time amongst the Moroccan fans. England or France await. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!

    90+8: The ball into the box beats everyone and it's a goal kick!!
  • 90'
    90+7: Pepe!!! He gets his head to the back stick and it goes wide!!! I think S Amrabat got a little touch to the cross!
  • 90'
    90+6: What have you done Aboukhlal!! He goes on the counter, he's one on one with D Costa, he tries to chip him and a nothing chip is easily stopped!
  • 90'
    90+5: It's desperation stuff from Portugal, but they've come up againsta brick wall.
  • 90'
    90+3: Cheddira is off!! He catches J Felix late on the foot and Tello sends him on his way! Silly by Cheddira.

  • 89'
    The Moroccan players are packed behind the ball and Portugal just have no answer. Nobody has scored against Morocco at this tournament. Just an own goal!

    Vitinha gets himself a yellow card after a foul on Ounahi.
  • 86'
    Portugal's ball into the area beats everybody! The clock's ticking!
  • 85'
    The crowd are right behind Morocco and I'd say there's around 10 minutes left! This would be a famous win.
  • 82'
    What a save by Bono!! A horrendous mistake at the back by Morocco as they give the ball straight to Felix. He plays a one-two with Ronaldo before Felix's curling shot sees Bono dive to tip over.
  • 81'
    Morocco double sub: Boufal and Ziyech are off while Jabrane and Aboukhlal are on.

  • 45'
    HT: Morocco 1-0 Portugal!! Half-time in Qatar and En-Nesyri's goal just before the interval has given Morocco the lead here! Their strategy has been like against Spain and it's working for them so far. Portugal's most dangerous player has been J Felix, but B Fernandes had the best effort when he hit the bar. Will history be made here? Back shortly!
  • 45'
    45+3: B Fernandes and the Portugal players are furious with the officials, but I don't think they have a case here.
