117′ Pepe with a vital header to deny Polish attackers a free header. A very important header to get in between two attackers. Lewandowski was right behind him to latch on

113′ It may just happen

110′ We have a pitch invader on the pitch who went after Ronaldo but the stewards intervened just in time. What a waste of your money!

105′ Nothing to add to the score in the first half of the extra time. Will the next 15 be any different?

102′ Lewandowski with a gorgeous ball across the face of the goal but no one in a white shirt goes to attack it.

99′ SHOT! Milik has a go with his left foot from distance. Not hit from the laces but tried to curl it into the corner although it didn’t work out. Goes wide of the target

95′ Final Portugal change: William Carvalho off, Danilo on

91′ Extra time underway.

FULL TIME: No separating these teams after 90 minutes. Stays 1-1, as it was after 33 minutes. Into extra time we go.

92′ William Carvalho booked. If Portugal reach the semis, he’ll miss.

90′ Three minutes added on.

89′ Pepe gets his head to the free kick but he’s offside. A minute to play.

88′ Kapustka (Poland) is booked for leaning with an elbow

84′ MISSED! Ronaldo with a lovely run to beat his marker and stay onside on a chip pass by Joao Moutinho but the Portugal keeper with a complete airshot.

82′ CHANGE: Kapustka (in) – Grosicki (out) (Poland).

81′ CLOSE!! Pepe tries to play a through ball to Cristiano Ronaldo but it is intervened by Jędrzejczyk but not without concern. The sliding interception almost creeps into Poland’s goal. Goes just wide for a corner!

79′ Second Portugal change: Quaresma on, Joao Mario off

78′ Fonte gets his head to a Joao Mario corner but it is straight to the keeper. Not the best of headers that.

73′ CHANGE: João Moutinho (in) – Adrien Silva (out)

69′ Adrien Silva (Portugal) is booked.

68′ CLOSE! Milik doesn’t get enough from a cross from the left with Pepe doing just about enough to make the effort tamer than it was. Good move.

65′ Glik (Poland) is shown a yellow card for a late challenge on Ronaldo

64′ Cerdic with a nicely struck shot from distance and it flies narrowly wide. Destined for the top corner if it was a little to the right

59′ Beautiful sight the Velodrome.

55′ MISS! Nani spreads it through to Ronaldo who takes it first time on the left foot but it hits the side netting. Poor effort! Ronaldo didn’t look at the goal even once or players around him. Could have even afforded to take a touch.

52′ Renato Sanches is third youngest goalscorer at Euros

52′ Renato Sanches with a cross from the right at the near post but no Portugese shirt makes a move there. Was a good ball had someone moved.

50′ Where the magic happens – behind the scenes!

46′ Second half underway in Marseille with Nani getting us underway. Ronaldo has switched to half sleeves from full sleeves – he’s fired up then.

HALF TIME: PEEP PEEP! At the break, Poland 1-1 Portugal with goals from Robert Lewandowski and first from Renato Sanches.

44′ Poland slowing things down now. A minute added on.

42′ Jędrzejczyk (Poland) is booked. If Poland reach the semis, he wouldn’t be a name on the lineup.

34′ GOAL!! Renato Sanches scores to equalise it for Portugal! Nani lays it off for the youngster to take a whack with his left foot from outside the box. Gets a wicked deflection to beat Fabianski

30′ Ronaldo goes down appealing for a penalty and the replays suggest he has a case. Clearly held back by the defender

28′ Ronaldo opens up his body and finds some space to get a shot on. But that is a tame effort given the space on offer. Could have very easily taken another touch.

22′ Poland with beautiful intricate passing from outside the box and moving towards the box running circles around the Portuguese defence. However the final product is missing. Once again, Portugal defence looking shaky.

21′ Milik runs on towards the Portugal goal but has his shot blocked.

16′ Lovely strength by Lewandowski to shrug off the challenge of Pepe to get a shot on. Doesn’t bother Rui Patricio much but the intent has got to bother Portugal.

9′ A superb start to the game and something that will bring Portugal all guns blazing too. No holding back now!

2′ GOAL!! What a time to be on the scoresheet – Lewandowski side foots it home! Grosicki has space on the left to pick out a cross for Lewandowski, who slots in first time. Lewandowski ends a seven game drought in the process!

1′ And kick off!

# A minute’s applause to honour victims of attack in Istanbul
