Portugal v Austria

:00:08. > :00:10.# Je vois la ville en fete et en delire

:00:11. > :00:13.# Suffoquant sous le soleil et sous la joie

:00:14. > :00:17.# Et j'entends dans la musique les cris, les rires

:00:18. > :00:21.# Qui eclatent et rebondissent autour de moi

:00:22. > :01:08.Countdown begins. We are expecting big things to happen tonight.

:01:09. > :01:11.Austria, dark courses at the tournament.

:01:12. > :01:19.They are a very decent side. Pushed away.

:01:20. > :01:29.Ronaldo! He expected to score. Nani, 1-0. Would you believe it?!

:01:30. > :01:33.1-0. It has all gone wrong here for Austria.

:01:34. > :01:42.Terrible defending. Here is a chance for number two.

:01:43. > :01:53.What a brilliant finish. The biggest upset we have had so

:01:54. > :01:58.far. They haven't performed. Cristiano Ronaldo is back to give it

:01:59. > :02:01.another shot at becoming the first player to score in four European

:02:02. > :02:05.Championships. His Portugal side were held by Iceland in their group

:02:06. > :02:09.opener but they are one of the most consistent performers in this

:02:10. > :02:13.competition. They have reach the quarterfinals at the last five

:02:14. > :02:16.tournaments. It is quite the opposite for Austria. This is the

:02:17. > :02:21.first time the country have ever qualified for the finals. They had

:02:22. > :02:27.nine straight wins but were gobbled up by Hungary in their opening game.

:02:28. > :02:31.David Alaba was there shining light last Tuesday. Good evening and

:02:32. > :02:35.welcome back to Paris. We have all bases covered in the studio tonight

:02:36. > :02:39.from centre-back, midfield and upfront. Rio Ferdinand, Jermaine

:02:40. > :02:43.Jenas and Alan Shearer are here this evening. Both of these sides

:02:44. > :02:48.flattered a little bit to deceive in their first game? I was very

:02:49. > :02:54.disappointed, particularly import your goal. They didn't play very

:02:55. > :02:58.well at all. But it is more likely if Ronaldo plays well Portugal will

:02:59. > :03:03.win the game. He fluffed one or two chances. I thought he was trying too

:03:04. > :03:07.hard to impress. He did not look his normal self. Austria, I sort of

:03:08. > :03:11.looked at and I was struggling to see were all the hype, or a lot of

:03:12. > :03:15.the people were saying Austria were going to do well, having watched

:03:16. > :03:20.Sweden and Russia who were in their group in the qualifying campaign.

:03:21. > :03:27.They have not performed well those two. I don't know where the hype

:03:28. > :03:32.came from with Austria. I think the big thing was Ronaldo's comments. On

:03:33. > :03:36.top of that is the embarrassment. Obviously, the emotion, you get

:03:37. > :03:40.caught up in the motion but I think the embarrassing at would have hurt

:03:41. > :03:44.more than anything. We have all been there in our time. I remember seeing

:03:45. > :03:50.Liverpool celebrated at times or Arsenal. It would really antagonise

:03:51. > :03:54.you. I think it is the embarrassment. Just in case you

:03:55. > :03:58.missed it, he said something along the lines, Iceland are small to

:03:59. > :04:04.mentality. They will not go and win the tournament playing that way.

:04:05. > :04:11.Defend, defend, defend etc. Considering Iceland, there are more

:04:12. > :04:14.volcanoes than people. It is obviously frustrating. It is

:04:15. > :04:18.frustrating but he was given a platform to put all that to bed. If

:04:19. > :04:22.he believes that team are beneath him or don't deserve to be on the

:04:23. > :04:29.pitch with him, there is the platform to go and destroy them with

:04:30. > :04:32.goals. There is no law saying you have to help the opposition win the

:04:33. > :04:39.game. Iceland were brilliant. They deserved what they got, I have had a

:04:40. > :04:45.bad game but I will be there for the next one. You cannot blame someone

:04:46. > :04:53.for showing emotion sometimes. We all have emotions. We do. The two

:04:54. > :04:57.other teams in Group F met earlier. A Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty gave

:04:58. > :05:03.Iceland the lead against Hungary who came back in yet another late goal,

:05:04. > :05:08.in the 87th minute. An unfortunate own goal meant the points were

:05:09. > :05:11.shared. That gives hungry four points which does not guarantee they

:05:12. > :05:20.are going through but they are pretty close. Iceland in second

:05:21. > :05:26.place. It is all to play for in this second group. Meanwhile, in Group E,

:05:27. > :05:36.Belgium enjoyed a comfortable victory over the Republic of

:05:37. > :05:42.Ireland. Lukaku scored twice. We will have highlights at half-time.

:05:43. > :05:53.That win moves Belgium up to second place. They will have to beat Italy

:05:54. > :05:58.to stand any chance of progressing. It is looking very difficult for the

:05:59. > :06:05.Republic of Ireland now? First and foremost, it is a group. Today, I

:06:06. > :06:12.did not really give them a chance. I think the changes made to the squad

:06:13. > :06:17.were positive changes. The Ireland team could not handle Belgium in

:06:18. > :06:22.that second half. There was some class from start to finish. When

:06:23. > :06:26.they conceded the first goal, it was downhill from then onwards. Belgium

:06:27. > :06:30.had to come out and put in a performance and they did that. I

:06:31. > :06:36.suppose it does not necessarily affect what happens in tonight's

:06:37. > :06:39.game, the Iceland results? I think Portugal have to come out and win

:06:40. > :06:44.this game. The performance was not at a level we expected and they have

:06:45. > :06:49.players who want to perform on this stage and they have got to go and

:06:50. > :06:58.produce it today. It is a big game, a big ask. All right, back to

:06:59. > :07:02.tonight's match and here are the starting line-ups. The Portuguese

:07:03. > :07:09.have decided against resting the 38-year-old Ricardo Carvalho.

:07:10. > :07:16.24-year-old William Carvalho starts as Portugal's holding midfielder,

:07:17. > :07:26.coming in for the injured Danilo. It is a 4-3-3 formation. Mario Draghi

:07:27. > :07:31.player to miss out. There are three changes to the Austrian team but not

:07:32. > :07:42.in goal, where Almer will hope to end his 34 year wait for a win.

:07:43. > :07:52.Another change sees Stefan Ilsanker start as a defensive midfielder.

:07:53. > :08:03.Bayern Munich star Alaba can play a more attacking role. Austria have

:08:04. > :08:08.dropped young code there -- Janko. This match is taking place just down

:08:09. > :08:12.the road in the park Des Princes, the home of Paris Saint-Germain. It

:08:13. > :08:18.has hosted six European Cup finals and has a capacity of 40 5000.

:08:19. > :08:25.Amongst them are Thierry Henry and Dan Walker. Hello, guys. Welcome to

:08:26. > :08:30.pitch side. What an atmosphere. It is wonderful here. I wonder why I

:08:31. > :08:36.stopped my career. What an atmosphere! We are looking at the

:08:37. > :08:42.tactics from Portugal and they will switch to more beg for 33 tonight,

:08:43. > :08:52.we think with Ricardo Quaresma pushing on with Nani. They need to

:08:53. > :09:00.do that. They need to feed Ronaldo. The other day he missed a header we

:09:01. > :09:07.do not normally see him miss. I don't how they will react to that.

:09:08. > :09:14.The other day we saw them struggling a lot against a direct type of game.

:09:15. > :09:17.First and foremost they have to try and find the main man and they did

:09:18. > :09:31.not do that in the first game very much. Both Portugal and Austria

:09:32. > :09:37.finished well below in their qualification group. These two are

:09:38. > :09:42.chasing Hungary who have four points in the group. Nothing is easy in

:09:43. > :09:47.Europe or in the world. One thing you notice is a lot of goals scored

:09:48. > :09:53.at the end of the game. Why is that? You saw it again today with Iceland.

:09:54. > :09:56.Teams defend, defend well, but sometimes, you cannot just stay

:09:57. > :10:02.there and defend, you have to be able to counter and hurt also and

:10:03. > :10:07.make sure they do 60 yards back. At the moment, a lot of teams defend

:10:08. > :10:10.too deep. That allows a lot of goals. Going back to what you were

:10:11. > :10:17.saying, it is not an easy tournament. We were thinking, there

:10:18. > :10:22.will be a lot of small teams, will be quality be the same? The way the

:10:23. > :10:27.teams are playing is maybe not the best but tactically, you see some

:10:28. > :10:33.great stuff. Sometimes you see them defend too much and it allows

:10:34. > :10:39.pressure and maybe to score a goal that the end. England may be here if

:10:40. > :10:44.they win their group. He will be back in a couple of minutes time.

:10:45. > :10:52.Gas, he will be back shortly. Everyone loves a rogue, don't be?

:10:53. > :10:59.Step forward, Pepe. The case for the defence. Here's a nice guy. Nice and

:11:00. > :11:06.polite but he cannot take defeat. In football's pantomime, the cast of

:11:07. > :11:12.villains is a long one. Top of the list is the bed. I have played

:11:13. > :11:17.against him many times and I have never had a problem with him. I

:11:18. > :11:22.guess I was lucky. He was named after two scientists in the hope he

:11:23. > :11:26.might become one. To be fair, he had a go. Halfway to becoming a

:11:27. > :11:31.qualified physiotherapist, Pepe wants to open a clinic when he

:11:32. > :11:35.retires. Perhaps he is simply drumming up business. Away from the

:11:36. > :11:41.pantomime, there is another picture of Pepe. He has helped me settle in

:11:42. > :11:45.Real Madrid. An amazing man first and foremost. He is a very good

:11:46. > :11:52.person. He takes care of the people who surround him. He is better than

:11:53. > :11:55.people know. He donated ten tonnes of food to the poorest families in

:11:56. > :12:03.his Madrid neighbourhood to see them through Christmas. Martin Keown was

:12:04. > :12:07.very different than he was in the field. Sometimes Martin was not

:12:08. > :12:13.doing what he should be doing to stop a player but Martin was a funny

:12:14. > :12:18.guy, nice. You should not judge the man as the player. As a child in

:12:19. > :12:23.Brazil, he looked after fish which he sold to help his family eat. Once

:12:24. > :12:27.he traded them for a Real Madrid shirt with the name McManaman on the

:12:28. > :12:32.back. Those shirts are highly thought of and hard to come by! He

:12:33. > :12:44.never made it as a school full forward, but as a defender, he

:12:45. > :12:47.flourished, and followed his hero. They have won the Champions League

:12:48. > :12:49.twice, he has been an integral part of it. The guy is a very good

:12:50. > :12:56.defender, holding his position, winning what he did win, you have to

:12:57. > :12:59.give the guy his respect. He has come far, the boy who defied his

:13:00. > :13:03.parents to play with children ten years his senior. He once gave up

:13:04. > :13:08.the game and had to be persuaded to come back. The reason? He did not

:13:09. > :13:12.like some of the behaviour on the pitch. I know from reading the

:13:13. > :13:16.Spanish press, I think depending on where you are born and how you play

:13:17. > :13:21.the game, we will all have contrasting views to be very honest

:13:22. > :13:25.about it. Perhaps, like the pantomime, it is just a British

:13:26. > :13:32.thing? Whatever is said about Pepe, I take

:13:33. > :13:35.it all back, he is clearly a lovely guy! That is off the pitch, but he

:13:36. > :13:40.can be an irritant on it and does things we don't necessarily approve

:13:41. > :13:45.of. He is a person who divides opinion. I do not question his

:13:46. > :13:48.ability. If you are one of those players who are really important in

:13:49. > :13:53.your squad, and as good as everyone says he is, he should not be doing

:13:54. > :13:59.things like that. I would be interested to hear what you think,

:14:00. > :14:04.Rio. As a player, it is undoubted in terms of his abilities, the trophies

:14:05. > :14:10.he has won. There are chinks in his game and I think someone of his

:14:11. > :14:13.calibre can exploit that, but I think physically, pace, aggression,

:14:14. > :14:18.he has got that. Sometimes he does get caught up in the emotions of the

:14:19. > :14:29.game and the occasion and his reputation is justified. He makes it

:14:30. > :14:33.hard to like him. Pretending he is injured? It is the stuff you

:14:34. > :14:37.associate with number nine is! I would really have enjoyed to play

:14:38. > :14:42.against him. I think he would be easy to wind up. I think there is a

:14:43. > :14:47.mistake in him quite often. He is one of those guys were I would go

:14:48. > :14:50.and stand on him, I would tug his shirt, perhaps stand on his toes and

:14:51. > :14:54.whispered things in his ear, knowing all of these things would wind him

:14:55. > :14:58.up, he would do something stupid and I would expect him to make a

:14:59. > :15:09.mistake. I think there is a mistake on him in the 90 minutes. They have

:15:10. > :15:13.made one or two changes, Portugal. William Carvalho coming in. He is a

:15:14. > :15:16.top player. Some clubs in the Premier League are interested. He

:15:17. > :15:23.was playing the tournament last year and he is a very commanding figure,

:15:24. > :15:26.a great presence, in front of the back four, really patrolled the area

:15:27. > :15:32.very well, has a good understanding of the game. A good player, strong.

:15:33. > :15:36.They do rely massively on Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a superstar. His

:15:37. > :15:40.first game was not up to his normal standards?

:15:41. > :15:48.He wasn't. Portugal's hopes lie with him. These are - that chance there,

:15:49. > :15:52.we - because of his high standards - we would expect him to put that

:15:53. > :15:59.away. It was a frustrating night for him. I do... The story about Ronaldo

:16:00. > :16:03.- in his head, in Portugal's team, it is about him. He has to score

:16:04. > :16:07.that one. A good ball in. It was a frustrating night for him. He's got

:16:08. > :16:11.to perform if Portugal are going to progress. I didn't like what he said

:16:12. > :16:15.after the game. He should have been bigger and better than that. I would

:16:16. > :16:20.not be surprised if he was to join the party tonight and get on the

:16:21. > :16:25.score sheet. He rarely has one bad game let alone two on the bounce?

:16:26. > :16:29.Yes, there will be no-one more desperate to rectify the result, the

:16:30. > :16:34.performance of the last game. The difference in the Portugal team

:16:35. > :16:38.compared to when you see him for his club, he plays as a focal point up

:16:39. > :16:44.front. When he gets off the sides, he is able to free himself up and

:16:45. > :16:48.face the defenders straightaway. If you are Ronaldo, it is a different

:16:49. > :16:52.dynamic that you have to adjust to. Didn't he say to you he felt this

:16:53. > :16:57.Portugal team was the best he has played in? He said this is the most

:16:58. > :17:01.solid team, we will be very hard to beat. It is about scoring the goals.

:17:02. > :17:05.They had chances the last game. If they can score them, they will be a

:17:06. > :17:08.force. Ronaldo is one of a few individual superstars yet to catch

:17:09. > :17:10.fire at this tournament. Maybe Thierry has a theory, he is with

:17:11. > :17:22.Dan. Let's put the question to the man

:17:23. > :17:29.himself. Muller, Ibrahimovic, Hazard, why aren't they taking this

:17:30. > :17:32.tournament by storm? Those guys - you mentioned the names - I

:17:33. > :17:37.mentioned the teams - Real Madrid, Paris St German, Bayern Munich, they

:17:38. > :17:41.are not altogether playing with each other with quality players from the

:17:42. > :17:46.best of the best, if I can say so. That is why I think they are not

:17:47. > :17:51.performing as well as they do in their own club. I still back Ronaldo

:17:52. > :17:58.to score some goals tonight. We all know what he can do. All you need is

:17:59. > :18:05.to feed him. He missed a goal the other day, but I still back him.

:18:06. > :18:13.They are not playing with the players that they usually play with.

:18:14. > :18:16.We watched France against Romania, Payet stepped forward and grabbed

:18:17. > :18:20.that opportunity, and that responsibility? Yes, you cannot

:18:21. > :18:24.achieve anything alone. Payet wanted that game. Like he wanted it the

:18:25. > :18:27.other day, although he scored the second one. I'm sure we will see

:18:28. > :18:33.that with Ronaldo. We all know what he can do. It won't be easy against

:18:34. > :18:41.Austria. Will they have the same tactic as Iceland? Or will they go

:18:42. > :18:45.through with Alaba? We shall see. I'm sure Ronaldo will do something

:18:46. > :18:48.today, Parc des Princes, nice atmosphere, nice weather, that is

:18:49. > :18:56.what Ronaldo likes. It's a gorgeous night. We will see you at half-time.

:18:57. > :19:01.About time we had some sunshine! Austria's main man is David Alaba,

:19:02. > :19:06.the Bayern Munich player, he is set to become a real superstar.

:19:07. > :19:14.At 23, David Alaba already appears to have it all - a Champions League

:19:15. > :19:19.medal, five Bundesliga titles and Austrian Player of the Year on five

:19:20. > :19:27.occasions! Now he carries the hopes of his homeland, hungry for success.

:19:28. > :20:05.Born in Vienna, his footballing education began in the suburbs.

:20:06. > :20:11.After a year at his local club, Alaba was picked up by Austria

:20:12. > :20:31.Vienna. The limelight shines brightly in

:20:32. > :20:40.family Alaba. Father George is a rapper and DJ. His sister is a

:20:41. > :20:52.singer. But David strikes a different note. In 2008, Bayern

:20:53. > :20:56.Munich came calling and ever since, he has been perfectly in tune to

:20:57. > :21:00.Pep. Reliable, versatile, his manager describes him as Bayern

:21:01. > :21:04.Munich's God, a man who can play in all ten positions. And other talents

:21:05. > :21:29.have also been honed. Saturday night and Austria expects.

:21:30. > :21:37.Can their superstar shine and help thwart another man who knows a thing

:21:38. > :21:45.or two about grabbing the limelight? David Alaba. His dad is rapper -

:21:46. > :21:53.that rhymes! I think this young player is something very special. He

:21:54. > :21:58.can play anywhere. He is 23. You feel like he's been around forever.

:21:59. > :22:02.Pep Guardiola is quoted as saying he's played in all ten positions on

:22:03. > :22:06.the pitch this year. That tells you everything you need to know about

:22:07. > :22:10.him as a player. To do that, it tells you of the level of

:22:11. > :22:15.intelligence he has. He's the star of this team. He's got four goals in

:22:16. > :22:21.qualifying. He gets into some good attacking positions. He can go by

:22:22. > :22:28.players, he can see a pass, but he is so important. You love him, Rio.

:22:29. > :22:32.He is a dream player to have in your squad. He is an integral part of

:22:33. > :22:37.this team, the best player in this team, no doubt. Any team on the

:22:38. > :22:47.planet, a manager would take this player because he offers so much.

:22:48. > :22:51.There aren't many superstars that are brilliant in five or six

:22:52. > :22:57.positions. This guy could be one. He's that good. You can look at it

:22:58. > :23:01.both ways. You can say, you need to find a position, or it would be

:23:02. > :23:06.another Philip Lahm situation. He can play anywhere. In terms of the

:23:07. > :23:10.other players, one we know very well from the Premier League at Stoke, is

:23:11. > :23:16.Arnautovic. He had a very good season for Stoke. Their Player of

:23:17. > :23:20.the Year. Like Alaba, if Austria are going to progress, he has to

:23:21. > :23:24.perform. He has got the ability. I know it is a problem when you turn

:23:25. > :23:29.round and say about somebody, if he performs on the night, and if he

:23:30. > :23:33.fancies it - this is the case with Arnautovic. We do see flashes of

:23:34. > :23:37.brilliance and he can do past people. He can score spectacular

:23:38. > :23:42.goals. But he will have to do that tonight. Clever, cute, Rio? His

:23:43. > :23:45.biggest problem has been in his head leading up to this point. This

:23:46. > :23:49.season, Mark Hughes has done a great job in terms of getting him to work

:23:50. > :23:54.hard and become part of a team. He's been a bit of a maverick. He can

:23:55. > :23:57.float around. When he does get chances to put the ball into

:23:58. > :24:05.dangerous areas, he has that ability. Portugal or Austria?

:24:06. > :24:09.Portugal. Portugal. Portugal. We will get the latest from the England

:24:10. > :24:13.and Wales camps at half-time and highlights of the Republic of

:24:14. > :24:18.Ireland against Belgium. First, to the Parc des Princes, where your

:24:19. > :24:23.commentators are Martin Keown and Guy Mowbray.

:24:24. > :24:31.Good evening, everyone, from a short cab ride away from the Eiffel Tower,

:24:32. > :24:34.at the venue which sees the Crown Prince of Portuguese football

:25:07. > :25:11.different proposition to the main event. No team that wins nine in a

:25:12. > :25:24.row to book their place at this tournament can be taken too lightly.

:25:25. > :25:31.It's a stadium bathed in red-and-white, with a few splashes

:25:32. > :25:38.of green at the Portuguese end. And first we will hear the National

:28:37. > :28:39.the man whose record Cristiano Ronaldo is taking tonight, Luis Figo

:28:40. > :28:55.is in the house. Let's take a look at the teams, with

:28:56. > :29:04.two changes to Portugal's line-up. William Carvalho in for Danilo. The

:29:05. > :29:28.inclusion of Ricardo Quaresma has had the Portuguese press purring.

:29:29. > :29:35.The referee has had a week's break and now he gets his second run-out

:29:36. > :29:39.of the tournament, the man who took the final at the World Cup two years

:29:40. > :29:41.ago, had a very good game in Marseille for England against Russia

:29:42. > :30:06.last Saturday. Two of Austria's three changes are

:30:07. > :30:08.enforced - Sebastian Prodl is in and David Alaba is playing in a more

:30:09. > :30:34.forward role. The There is one stand-out star in each

:30:35. > :30:47.line-up. You will see that the Austria line-up is depleted by two.

:30:48. > :30:53.Nobody on a booking in the Austrian line-up. Portugal haven't had a

:30:54. > :31:10.player booked at all yet. Well, off we go. Cheers from the

:31:11. > :31:16.Austrian end as Portugal or in possession. Martin Keown is

:31:17. > :31:21.alongside me for this one. There was a wry smile in the build-up when we

:31:22. > :31:32.had Thierry Henry comparing YouTube Pepe. -- comparing you to Pepe. Pepe

:31:33. > :31:33.sometimes takes a dive here or there but he's still an outstanding

:31:34. > :31:47.player. There is the first corner of the

:31:48. > :31:54.match by Florian Klein. Ronaldo has almost got a permanent grin on his

:31:55. > :32:02.face tonight. It will be up to Prodl and code to try and wipe that. That

:32:03. > :32:12.nearly caught Austria out. Ronaldo close. The keeper taking no chances

:32:13. > :32:16.there. We have seen a few dodgy attempts from keepers to come and

:32:17. > :32:24.take balls. A nice one early on for him to deal with. This one will come

:32:25. > :32:30.from the other side. Ricardo Quaresma, once the referee has had a

:32:31. > :32:36.word with one or two on the edge of the box, will deliver. William

:32:37. > :32:44.Carvalho is a big presence in there. It is hooked way over by Ricardo

:32:45. > :32:52.Carvalho is still going strong at the age of 38. At the age of 61 is

:32:53. > :32:55.Fernando Santos. At the last European Championship, he was the

:32:56. > :33:07.man who led Greece into the quarterfinals.

:33:08. > :33:17.Ronaldo was trying to find Na Mi, was cleared by Prodl of Vicarage

:33:18. > :33:22.Road. Pepe was hopping around a little concerned and he got his

:33:23. > :33:28.keeper into trouble that. As experienced as he is, that was a

:33:29. > :33:37.schoolboy backpass. Harnik was closest to it.

:33:38. > :33:52.Here is Klein. Klein being forced back by Raphael Guerreiro. Harnik

:33:53. > :34:03.could not hang in the air quite long enough. You talk about defending,

:34:04. > :34:09.look at Pepe here. He has no idea where his man is. He cannot direct

:34:10. > :34:19.it into the back of the net. A let off for Portugal. It will be a throw

:34:20. > :34:27.for Portugal now. They need to steady themselves down. Harnik

:34:28. > :34:33.playing as the main front man it seems, with Alaba close in support.

:34:34. > :34:37.Alaba has played everywhere this season, quite a utility player,

:34:38. > :34:44.quite the nominal really. It would not surprise me if he ends up

:34:45. > :34:49.scoring here tonight. Ronaldo. Austria are happy to see Ronaldo in

:34:50. > :34:58.that deep lying position. Nani is playing as a centre forward.

:34:59. > :35:08.Ricardo Quaresma fancied a touch there. There might be the chance to

:35:09. > :35:17.catch Robert Almer. He will not score from there, that is ashore. --

:35:18. > :35:26.for sure. The man who had a brief spell with Chelsea.

:35:27. > :35:34.Marcel Koller, the first Swiss to take charge of the neighbours from

:35:35. > :35:42.over the hills. He played for Switzerland at Euro 96.

:35:43. > :35:48.Alaba could not take it under control. Andre Gomes will find

:35:49. > :35:59.Raphael Guerreiro. Ronaldo quickly met. Now Ricardo Quaresma. Christian

:36:00. > :36:09.Fuchs to try to stop him. He could not. Ricardo Quaresma looks full of

:36:10. > :36:17.beans. We have had a headed chance peace now. The ball coming in on the

:36:18. > :36:23.wing hooks him back in. You can't get enough on it, direction. Not

:36:24. > :36:33.really sure he is a centre forward with that instinct to score goals,

:36:34. > :36:34.Nani. Almost a dozen in his first season in Turkish football, the

:36:35. > :36:44.season just passed. Ricardo Carvalho netted bump away

:36:45. > :36:50.from him. There was a thought he could get a breather tonight with

:36:51. > :36:56.Jose Fonte of Southampton getting a game, but he will have to wait his

:36:57. > :37:03.chance. A renaissance for Carvalho. He retired for three years.

:37:04. > :37:42.Joao Moutinho. He likes to pull the strings in there. That is a straight

:37:43. > :37:44.path from him, and usual. Christian Fuchs with the throw. The Leicester

:37:45. > :37:56.title winner. The free kick this time goes to

:37:57. > :38:01.Austria. It looks like Nicola Rizzoli is in stern mood this

:38:02. > :38:05.evening. He will take a firm grip of this. Carve a was not quick enough

:38:06. > :38:21.to get to that one. -- Carvalho. Christian Fuchs delivers. Knocked

:38:22. > :38:49.back by Arnautovic. Ronaldo told him to hang on a bit.

:38:50. > :38:50.Switch in towards Nani. Good work from the retreating Florian Klein,

:38:51. > :39:02.the Austrian right back. Harnik takes the first blow from

:39:03. > :39:11.Pepe tonight. Harnik is already doing well. We have seen him play as

:39:12. > :39:18.a winner, seeing him play centrally tonight. What is your verdict on

:39:19. > :39:22.Pepe, love him, hate him or both? Everyone wants to say nice things

:39:23. > :39:29.about him but he lets defenders go in the box, makes rash decisions. In

:39:30. > :39:33.terms of communication as well, watching those two trying to work

:39:34. > :39:49.out who is the leader, and at the moment it is hard to work out.

:39:50. > :39:55.Most of the singing around the ground at the moment is coming from

:39:56. > :40:00.Austrian supporters. They are pretty happy with the way their team have

:40:01. > :40:04.started. The coach Marcel Koller's assessment of their defeat to

:40:05. > :40:11.Hungary was they were too nervous in the first half. No sign of nerves in

:40:12. > :40:18.this. Not at all, there are no signs of nerves. They are settling well in

:40:19. > :40:24.this match. That was disrupted by the award of another free kick.

:40:25. > :40:34.Correctly though. He caught Ricardo Carvalho. Maybe it is catching from

:40:35. > :40:56.Pepe. I think he nicked him but I think he already knew he was coming.

:40:57. > :41:10.Pepe, a little unsure. Ricardo Quaresma managed to get away from

:41:11. > :41:16.Julian Baumgartlinger. He gave it away there. He allowed Joao Moutinho

:41:17. > :41:40.into the tackle. A quick recovery. The Wolfsburg writeback was

:41:41. > :41:48.criticised by a few. Southampton's Cedric Soares is waiting in the

:41:49. > :41:55.wings. Portugal's best spell of possession in the match so far. , He

:41:56. > :42:10.likes that, out to the side to Ricardo Quaresma.

:42:11. > :42:20.Stefan Ilsanker is on it. He took it really nicely. He did not get past

:42:21. > :42:21.Carvalho defined Harnik. Harnik liked the idea. Harnik made an

:42:22. > :42:57.exceptional run. Too quick for Prodl. Nani in. It was

:42:58. > :43:07.saved. Joao Moutinho has gone on to it. And Vieirinha tries and forces

:43:08. > :43:20.the save from Almer. A really good effort from the full-back. Good

:43:21. > :43:28.effort from Vieirinha there. A good save from the keeper. Not too far

:43:29. > :43:33.away from that one. It looks as if it might be going wide. A big

:43:34. > :43:39.deflection as well. Well worth striking.

:43:40. > :43:46.Almer have to make another save. That one a little more routine. The

:43:47. > :43:55.Austrian hearts will be beaten back there right now. -- beating.

:43:56. > :44:04.The first Portugal press of the night.

:44:05. > :44:12.Arnautovic, really nicely won. Got up strongly. Arnautovic with a good

:44:13. > :44:26.ball in for Harnik. Tried to find Alaba. Good play there from Austria.

:44:27. > :44:30.Harnik is making a really good target man. Alaba was making that

:44:31. > :44:40.run, playing in a new position again. It is pretty much a four for

:44:41. > :44:47.two that Austria are playing. When they are out of possession, they are

:44:48. > :44:55.tacking back in again. I wonder if Arnautovic will want to get back. He

:44:56. > :45:07.did really well to take it away from Nani. Alaba, not so well. Andre

:45:08. > :45:24.Gomes to Raphael Guerreiro. Gomes has Baumgartlinger all over him.

:45:25. > :45:36.Very quickly in came Stefan Ilsanker. Harnik. No danger for Rui

:45:37. > :45:43.Patricio. There is a big bonus for Alaba to get up and support the

:45:44. > :45:46.front man. At the moment it is for - 4-2. Alaba has got to get back into

:45:47. > :46:13.help that midfield. That wasn't the best clearance from

:46:14. > :46:18.the keeper. The flag is up. He's caught offside there, Ronaldo. He is

:46:19. > :46:27.slow to come out. Look at him walking. Offside.

:46:28. > :46:33.He will get another Portugal record tonight... Still got a smile on his

:46:34. > :46:40.face. Maybe he knows something we don't. I'm sure there will be a

:46:41. > :46:49.moment of brilliance at some point. He's scored six goal as -- six goals

:46:50. > :47:04.at the European Championship. Ricardo Carvalho still has the

:47:05. > :47:08.alertness and the instinct. He needed to there. Arnautovic is

:47:09. > :47:37.playing left-wing. A nudge from Arnautovic. That is an

:47:38. > :47:42.easy one to spot and a bit of a flare up with Nani. The referee

:47:43. > :47:48.watched it all develop and will now just issue a lecture to both. Nani

:47:49. > :47:53.got the brunt of the words. There was nothing in it. Good play down

:47:54. > :47:58.this left-hand side by Austria. Fuchs is such a wonderful player, he

:47:59. > :48:03.is like a server of the ball. He didn't get enough credit last season

:48:04. > :48:08.at Leicester for me, the way that he played. Austria can channel the

:48:09. > :48:19.Leicester spirit today, to get a result in this one.

:48:20. > :48:25.Baumgartlinger can't get there before Ronaldo. Ronaldo only had one

:48:26. > :48:34.option there. He was caught late by Ilsanker but still got it out. That

:48:35. > :48:51.was better. The first clearance was not so good.

:48:52. > :49:06.He blasted it straight back against his own man. Sloppy play, inviting

:49:07. > :49:19.pressure on. Here it comes with a Ricardo

:49:20. > :49:23.Quaresma corner. It was Carvalho, Ricardo Carvalho, who got above

:49:24. > :49:31.Ronaldo, who didn't appreciate it. It is a great leap, isn't it? Just

:49:32. > :49:38.off target with his header. Lost none of his spring at 38. It was his

:49:39. > :50:01.to head? Yes. There doesn't look to be great

:50:02. > :50:04.communication between the goalkeeper and his central defenders. The

:50:05. > :50:13.goalkeeper looks frightened to death. He's the only home-based

:50:14. > :50:17.player, the only man from the Austrian Bundesliga in the squad,

:50:18. > :50:21.plays with Austrian Vienna, re-joined them last summer after

:50:22. > :50:35.four years away, mostly in the Second Division in Germany.

:50:36. > :50:48.Ronaldo is coming quite deep to get it. Guerreiro's cross was blocked by

:50:49. > :51:35.Klein. Portugal look the more menacing.

:51:36. > :51:45.Pepe is down after a brush with Harnik after the ball had gone.

:51:46. > :52:02.It's a well-worn phrase now - Pepe down. Pepe now copping it!

:52:03. > :52:11.Nani, Guerreiro, Ronaldo! He misses the target. It was a wonderful

:52:12. > :52:16.Portuguese move. Their best player was on the end of it. Guerreiro, a

:52:17. > :52:19.one-two there, Ronaldo, the pain on his face, he knows he should be

:52:20. > :52:33.hitting the back of the net there. No excuses.

:52:34. > :52:41.It is coming though, isn't it? It is coming. Looking at his finish there,

:52:42. > :52:46.maybe he should have gone with a flick with the outside of his right

:52:47. > :52:49.foot. He's scored enough goals - 51 this season? It was ten down on the

:52:50. > :52:52.year before so he's had a bad season(!)

:52:53. > :53:02.I'm sure he will get it right in the end.

:53:03. > :53:12.Alaba off balance and he hit the deck. That is a problem for Austria

:53:13. > :53:14.if that's a genuine problem, a genuine concern rather. He is OK. He

:53:15. > :53:29.is up on his feet. I didn't like the look on his face

:53:30. > :53:34.at first. Sabitzer found the ball wouldn't stick. Very scrappy from an

:53:35. > :53:41.Austrian point of view. They seem quite happy to sit in, Portugal are

:53:42. > :53:44.dominating position. We saw Sebastian Prodl, who was given his

:53:45. > :53:58.chance today with Dragovic suspended. You were surprised Kevin

:53:59. > :54:02.Wimmer didn't get a chance? He's filled in nicely for Spurs this

:54:03. > :54:06.season. I can't believe he's not in this team. He's gone with the

:54:07. > :54:10.experience of Prodl, 58th cap tonight. Wimmer has only made three

:54:11. > :54:20.appearances in friendlies so far. One for the future for the Austrian

:54:21. > :54:25.national side. He is a left-footed centre-back and Hinteregger has had

:54:26. > :54:29.to come over to that side. You don't often see two left-footed central

:54:30. > :54:37.defenders in fairness. If you want to get experience, there is nothing

:54:38. > :54:46.like playing in the games. Harnik did well. Carvalho was watching and

:54:47. > :54:52.waiting, though. Ricardo Carvalho finds Quaresma, who keeps it in.

:54:53. > :55:06.They are smothering them now, Austria.

:55:07. > :55:11.Martin Harnik has that extra energy and mobility that you would expect

:55:12. > :55:16.from a wide player, but he is surviving on scraps at the moment.

:55:17. > :55:22.He nearly didn't make it to the tournament, he had left his passport

:55:23. > :55:27.at home! Nodded behind. Safety first from Klein. Portugal corner. That

:55:28. > :55:32.all came from Klein giving the ball away some time ago. It feels like a

:55:33. > :55:35.matter of time before Portugal are going to score. This is their fifth

:55:36. > :56:05.corner. It's poor, isn't it? The quality has

:56:06. > :56:14.to be better. In that final third especially.

:56:15. > :56:20.The teams practice this, leading up to the Championship, in training,

:56:21. > :56:25.set-pieces, so it is unforgivable, really, that type of cross. Once

:56:26. > :56:26.again, Robert Almer looks most uncomfortable with the ball at his

:56:27. > :56:50.feet. William Carvalho looks very

:56:51. > :56:53.impressive, sitting in front of that defence. It's a popular role now for

:56:54. > :57:06.most teams. It was a collision with William

:57:07. > :57:10.Carvalho and the referee couldn't have been better placed to see that.

:57:11. > :57:14.Ronaldo was waiting for it. No foul there either. Now it comes Ronaldo's

:57:15. > :57:22.way. No foul there either. Oh there is! There is! Listen, Austria will

:57:23. > :57:26.feel very hard done by there. Two fouls against them. The players have

:57:27. > :57:33.every right to be arguing with the ref there.

:57:34. > :57:39.It's directed towards Sebastian Prodl. Florian Klein was the player

:57:40. > :57:44.who left Ronaldo on the floor. That was definitely a foul. But there

:57:45. > :57:59.were two fouls before that on Austrian players.

:58:00. > :58:13.We talked about quality in the final third. Against Iceland in the 1-1

:58:14. > :58:17.draw on Tuesday, Portugal had 26 shots and only found the net once.

:58:18. > :58:25.We talked about it with the England team. You have to get your scoring

:58:26. > :58:32.boots on. Top players, when they are in front of goal, they are icy cool,

:58:33. > :58:39.they have that extra quality. Arnautovic gets a free kick for the

:58:40. > :58:43.Austrians. Austria have never won a game at the European Championship.

:58:44. > :58:49.This is only their second tournament, which comes as a

:58:50. > :58:50.surprise. The only previous one was when they were co-hosts eight years

:58:51. > :59:06.ago. Ronaldo finds Andre Gomes, who had

:59:07. > :59:19.the power and pace. It goes behind for a corner.

:59:20. > :59:23.Quaresma left that time, Ronaldo went right, Nani through the middle.

:59:24. > :59:27.They are chopping and changing, they are weaving like the Red Arrows.

:59:28. > :59:37.Quaresma elected to come back inside. Nani! Hits the post. That

:59:38. > :59:42.one is over from Joao Moutinho. They are coming to get you! Great ball in

:59:43. > :59:50.there. Nani really should be scoring there. Good follow-up shot as well

:59:51. > :59:52.from Moutinho. Gets off the ground brilliantly. Can't steer it into the

:59:53. > :00:14.back of the net. Nobody near him. The Austrian goal is leading a

:00:15. > :00:20.charmed life. Too much on that. Marcel Koller has some sorting out

:00:21. > :00:23.to do here. He looks calm enough. I feel when your goalkeeper, he has no

:00:24. > :00:30.real confidence, it spreads throughout the team. They are just

:00:31. > :00:31.happy to let Portugal have it, to mount attacks from where they

:00:32. > :01:04.please. Quaresma makes himself available

:01:05. > :01:11.with some strong running. Prodl is there to see him. The referee's

:01:12. > :01:25.whistle went before it could develop between them. Quaresma has a yellow

:01:26. > :01:32.card. Look at him here. Some strikers see this as a free go. He

:01:33. > :01:40.wants to argue with the referee. OK, if you want to argue with me, I will

:01:41. > :01:50.book you, thank you very much. The shirt was being held by Prodl. Just

:01:51. > :01:55.to point that out. Here is William Carr Valley. Ronaldo. A superblock

:01:56. > :02:12.from Hinteregger. Austria have never kept a clean

:02:13. > :02:16.sheet at the European Championship. It would be amazing if they could

:02:17. > :02:25.keep one tonight with what we are seeing so far. They have so much

:02:26. > :02:31.space. A good score, of course. Ricardo Carvalho has managed to get

:02:32. > :02:33.that one back. Vieirinha gets up again. I thought he would get a free

:02:34. > :02:57.kick. Carvalho was quick to react. Came

:02:58. > :03:00.off a Portuguese player, inadvertently. Harnik was ready for

:03:01. > :03:22.an own goal. No pressure being put on Robert

:03:23. > :03:33.Almer. Now Joao Moutinho is interested. Look at the clearance.

:03:34. > :03:37.Here is Ronaldo. Ricardo Quaresma. I can't help thinking, they put that

:03:38. > :03:42.on to his right foot, the goalkeeper, he is left footed

:03:43. > :03:48.clearly. Keeps going back to him, crazy.

:03:49. > :04:00.Christian Fuchs got too close to Nani.

:04:01. > :04:11.Cristiano Ronaldo is told to keep his distance. Yes, a definite foul.

:04:12. > :04:35.Wrapped him on the ankle. Raphael Guerreiro to take the free

:04:36. > :04:50.kick. This is a very high line from the Austrians.

:04:51. > :04:54.He was not able to find Quaresma. It was not very well executed by

:04:55. > :05:18.Portugal. That will run away from Stefan

:05:19. > :05:28.Ilsanker. Ronaldo is on the left wing. Nani is arriving on the right.

:05:29. > :05:37.Ronaldo offside all stock that was a good save from Almer. It would not

:05:38. > :05:42.have counted anyway. They see renowned though. Textbook the way he

:05:43. > :05:48.gets off. The referee, linesman, has got that wrong. He is telling the

:05:49. > :06:12.linesman, sorry, you got that wrong. A little touch from Pepe I think

:06:13. > :06:33.there. Vieirinha will have to tidy it up with the help of Rui Patricio.

:06:34. > :06:41.Austria's throw in. It is a case of nearly, but not quite for Portugal.

:06:42. > :06:45.At least he has got a sense of humour there. The Austrian fans are

:06:46. > :06:53.laughing at him and making fun of him. He may well have the last

:06:54. > :07:28.laugh. I think with his lifestyle, he is always going to.

:07:29. > :07:37.He got there to win the corner. Six did well there. The Portuguese

:07:38. > :07:58.players have been given so much time to pick up their passes.

:07:59. > :08:13.Ronaldo, he could not catch it. He was onside that time. Just about

:08:14. > :08:17.onside. This time, he comes up with the play. He is on it in a flash. He

:08:18. > :08:44.can't get the power he needs. And Austria free kick. I thought

:08:45. > :08:49.they were going to take their time with it bit Baumgartlinger was in a

:08:50. > :09:11.hurry to find Leave. It was all too hurried actually.

:09:12. > :09:28.Sabitzer did well there. Robin. -- probing.

:09:29. > :09:44.Arnautovic did not enjoy that one, being outmuscled there.

:09:45. > :10:02.That was a marvellous ball. Arnautovic is now caring into the

:10:03. > :10:09.penalty area. Was it inside or outside? The assistant referee and

:10:10. > :10:16.the additional assisted by the goal were there to give that one. It is

:10:17. > :10:21.just on the margins. A free kick for Austria. A yellow card for Pepe. I

:10:22. > :10:26.think he is realising he needed to get that challenging quickly, just

:10:27. > :10:35.diving in. It was a cynical challenge. He almost stamped on the

:10:36. > :10:48.player there. Desperate to get to Alaba before he gets to that box.

:10:49. > :10:57.That was quite an animated meeting. I don't think Arnautovic is

:10:58. > :11:08.impressed that Alaba has ushered him away from it. He is glowering, is

:11:09. > :11:18.the state man. Alaba the blue-eyed boy. He gets to take it. -- the

:11:19. > :11:24.Stoke man. Arnautovic goes round the back. Harnik is ready, Prodl is

:11:25. > :11:30.ready. Alaba is ready to hit it. What a clearance from Vieirinha.

:11:31. > :11:45.Now, there might be a Portuguese charge on.

:11:46. > :11:53.A great ball in there from Alabama. That is why he was taking it. He has

:11:54. > :12:04.got the quality to deliver that kind of ball. Arnautovic almost ran away.

:12:05. > :12:16.A great ball in, fantastic defending. So much pace on it. Did

:12:17. > :12:23.Robert give a -- did Rui Patricio give a little flick of the glove to

:12:24. > :12:24.it as well? Incredibly, it is still 0-0 in the closing stages of the

:12:25. > :12:53.first half. There is a clash of heads, Ricardo

:12:54. > :12:59.Carvalho and David Alaba. They are sore.

:13:00. > :13:06.Just that flick from Alaba. It is an honest challenge, of course.

:13:07. > :13:16.Whenever you see an injury here, you have more reason than most to wince.

:13:17. > :13:26.I almost lost my nose. Got it back again though. It is still there! I

:13:27. > :13:30.was playing against Ronaldo and Romario that day, almost any excuse

:13:31. > :13:37.to get off the pitch, they were that good. The other Ronaldo. Of course.

:13:38. > :14:07.Often forgotten, but what a great player he was.

:14:08. > :14:20.Prodl is quite happy to head the ball. That is his strength.

:14:21. > :14:25.Portugal are prepared to keep peppering their defence with

:14:26. > :14:33.crosses. I think really they would be better, there is too much on it

:14:34. > :14:37.even for renowned though. The quality they have, they would be

:14:38. > :14:41.better going that way, rather than trying to put balls into the box.

:14:42. > :14:58.Florian Klein. There is an offside there. It was

:14:59. > :15:03.Nani. Being sluggish hitting back. Not the first tonight. He doesn't

:15:04. > :15:09.even know he is offside, that makes it worse. We are into the 45th

:15:10. > :15:18.minute. I do think we are seeing the winners of Euro 2016 in this game.

:15:19. > :15:29.It is not a bad 0-0, plenty happening. Plenty of opportunities.

:15:30. > :15:37.You have got to be ruthless in front of goal, it is an essential part. It

:15:38. > :15:39.has the smell of yet another game that will be decided later. Very

:15:40. > :15:54.much the trend of this tournament. Ilsanker did a good job on Ronaldo

:15:55. > :16:01.there. Sparing his team-mates' blushes.

:16:02. > :16:06.That will do it for the first half at the Parc des Princes. Some

:16:07. > :16:11.worrying moments at the back for Austria, they seemed all over the

:16:12. > :16:16.place at times. It's the same story for Portugal as it was against

:16:17. > :16:19.Iceland. Shot after shot, trying to create chance after chance, but

:16:20. > :16:23.still they can't find a way through. Austria have had one or two moments

:16:24. > :16:29.of their own. It is Portugal 0, Austria 0.

:16:30. > :16:37.There is the Eiffel Tower. A spectacular sunset behind it this

:16:38. > :16:42.evening. We have not seen too many goals with Portugal and Austria,

:16:43. > :16:46.Portugal have failed to score with their last 31 shots since Nani's

:16:47. > :16:52.goal against Iceland. Austria have been unsuccessful the last 29 shots.

:16:53. > :16:56.There is one thing missing. Both teams have had chances. Portugal

:16:57. > :16:59.dominated possession. They have created the better chances. Should

:17:00. > :17:03.be winning the game. If you want chances to fall to one person, you

:17:04. > :17:07.want them to fall to Ronaldo. He has had them, but he hasn't put them in.

:17:08. > :17:11.They could be punished. I'm sure Austria can create one or two

:17:12. > :17:15.chances more. There are mistakes in that back four of Portugal's. Having

:17:16. > :17:21.said that, Portugal have been dominant? I think William Carvalho

:17:22. > :17:25.has dominated the centre of that pitch, passing the ball forward when

:17:26. > :17:29.he's had the chance. Nani and Ronaldo, the chances have fell to

:17:30. > :17:34.them two guys and you would expect them to score two out of them four

:17:35. > :17:37.chances. You have to put your chances away. There are chinks in

:17:38. > :17:43.this Portuguese back four. There certainly are. Let's look at

:17:44. > :17:48.Ronaldo. He scores a phenomenal amount of goals, but it's not

:17:49. > :17:52.happened for him yet. Very frustrating half for him again.

:17:53. > :17:57.Similar to the other night. Hasn't done a lot. That should be in the

:17:58. > :18:04.back of the net. A guy of his standards... Great movement. Very

:18:05. > :18:08.good movement. He's got to score. He looks eager and desperate to score.

:18:09. > :18:15.That could be playing a part in why it hasn't gone in the back of the

:18:16. > :18:19.net. He is getting in the positions. Just not getting his shots off like

:18:20. > :18:23.he would normally. There is a volley coming up... Normally that would be

:18:24. > :18:30.bursting the back of the net. Meat and drink to Ronaldo normally. It

:18:31. > :18:36.shows he is human. I agree with Rio about him playing better from the

:18:37. > :18:41.left-hand side. He is making good movements, but he has his back to

:18:42. > :18:45.play a lot. Perhaps you would expect Nani to miss them more than Ronaldo

:18:46. > :18:50.would. He's had his opportunities as well. When he gets in here, you

:18:51. > :18:55.would back him. He has great feet. Great save as well. You have to pay

:18:56. > :19:03.credit to the keeper. He came out, was big, he reacted very quickly

:19:04. > :19:08.with his feet. Do you not think that's what's held him back? At

:19:09. > :19:13.United he used to... In terms of natural ability, this kid has

:19:14. > :19:18.everything. He is good in the air. His technique is brilliant. It is

:19:19. > :19:25.the consistency... He is a one in four or five striker. Why is he like

:19:26. > :19:30.that? What is missing? He is getting it altogether. He's... Is it mental

:19:31. > :19:35.strength? Sometimes it is mental strength and being able to package

:19:36. > :19:38.it altogether. It is making the decisions at the right time in the

:19:39. > :19:44.final third. The best players make that decision. It is the hardest

:19:45. > :19:52.thing to do, score goals! That is what you always say to us! We save

:19:53. > :19:56.your bacon so often! Portugal, we have talked about their weaknesses,

:19:57. > :20:04.in particular we feel from crosses? They have been week from crosses in

:20:05. > :20:08.previous games. This was a reminder of - especially in the wider areas.

:20:09. > :20:12.It is more the right-back not helping and covering. They should be

:20:13. > :20:17.talking. There is no communication. There is a lack of communication.

:20:18. > :20:20.This is what happened in their first game against Iceland. Almost an

:20:21. > :20:24.identical position, from that right-hand side. Ball gets whipped

:20:25. > :20:29.in, no communication between the two of them, no-one bossing it, no-one

:20:30. > :20:32.prepared to organise. This time, they didn't get away with it and

:20:33. > :20:38.also, from the left-hand side as well. Carvalho and Pepe. So that is

:20:39. > :20:41.something I'm sure Austria will have discussed at half-time. Get the ball

:20:42. > :20:47.in the box because if they do, that could happen. The difference in

:20:48. > :20:52.modern football... This is a great header. This is what you are paid to

:20:53. > :20:56.do. In today's football, it is about, are you good going forward?

:20:57. > :21:03.Back in the day, it was, you defend first and then everything else is a

:21:04. > :21:07.bonus. To find a blend you get in a world-class player nowadays. Is that

:21:08. > :21:13.why there are better goalscoring ratios. In our day, one in two was

:21:14. > :21:20.really good. Now the big stars score a goal a game. Full-backs don't stay

:21:21. > :21:28.alongside their back four? I nougatry -- I knew Gary Neville and

:21:29. > :21:33.Wes Brown were going to be there. When the ball is coming over, the

:21:34. > :21:37.full-backs are thinking, when am I going to get it? That is a big

:21:38. > :21:44.difference. Makes a better game to watch. You impressed with William

:21:45. > :21:49.Carvalho? He is a giant of a man. He is huge. He is 6ft 2in, but what's

:21:50. > :21:53.been most impressive is his feet, his calmness, he is assured on the

:21:54. > :21:57.ball. He has been the springboard for the attacks here, getting the

:21:58. > :22:00.ball, although he is in a lot of space. This one doesn't get there.

:22:01. > :22:09.He has been doing this all game. What I like about him, he passes the

:22:10. > :22:13.ball through the lines and runs. If Austria keep giving him the space,

:22:14. > :22:20.as a midfielder it is a dream to play in that position. The strikers

:22:21. > :22:23.don't want to press him. He can play beautiful one-twos like that. Even

:22:24. > :22:26.though he holds within that position, he's got something about

:22:27. > :22:34.him that wants to creep forward and create and there was a situation...

:22:35. > :22:38.That is just so casual. He played a one around the corner to Ronaldo and

:22:39. > :22:43.gets his shot off. So he has more than playing in that holding role. I

:22:44. > :22:49.feel he could play and be destructive at the same time. If

:22:50. > :22:59.nothing changes, he might do it at half-time, certainly within 10 or 15

:23:00. > :23:03.minutes, it wouldn't surprise me if Sanches came on. The Republic of

:23:04. > :23:15.Ireland took on Belgium. This is what happened with Simon Brotherton.

:23:16. > :23:30.What a fantastic ball. A great chance for Hazard. First big chance

:23:31. > :23:36.in the game. What a ball that is from Kevin De Bruyne. A lovely flick

:23:37. > :23:43.from Hazard into De Bruyne, who shoots. Not enough pace to trouble

:23:44. > :23:55.Darren Randolph. Belgium are threatening again. The ball in from

:23:56. > :24:02.Hoolahan doesn't quite fall for Ward. Carrasco wants it, Lukaku gets

:24:03. > :24:09.it. Could be a chance. It's a goal! Romelu Lukaku! Two minutes into the

:24:10. > :24:13.second half. And the side ranked number two in the world have scored

:24:14. > :24:18.their first goal in the tournament. It's come from the big number nine.

:24:19. > :24:28.A brilliantly-worked goal by Belgium. Hazard, Carrasco on the far

:24:29. > :24:41.side. Lukaku the only one inside the penalty area. 2-0! Nobody picks the

:24:42. > :24:47.run. A free header. The keeper is unlucky. A poor goal for Ireland to

:24:48. > :24:54.succeed. Belgium 2, Republic of Ireland 0, Axel Witsel is half an

:24:55. > :24:58.hour to go. McClean up against Meunier.

:24:59. > :25:12.Meunier gets the better of that duel. Into Hazard. Now, Belgium are

:25:13. > :25:16.threatening a third goal. It must be three. It is. Lukaku's second of the

:25:17. > :25:21.game. There won't be any coming back from this. Belgium 3, the Republic

:25:22. > :25:25.of Ireland 0. Again, it is another poor Ireland goal to concede.

:25:26. > :25:34.A bad day for the Republic. That win moves Belgium up to second place in

:25:35. > :25:40.the group. A point against Sweden will see them qualify. The Republic

:25:41. > :25:44.will have to beat Italy. England and Wales are 48 hours away from their

:25:45. > :25:49.third and final group game with qualification for the last 16 still

:25:50. > :25:52.in the hands of both teams. After Daniel Sturridge's winner for

:25:53. > :26:03.England, both sides are approaching Monday in differing moods.

:26:04. > :26:08.Three Lions, one Dragon. Sterling can't keep it down. I thought the

:26:09. > :26:13.performance was very good. Kane goes for it. England are adamant it was

:26:14. > :26:17.blocked by a hand. We got done with a sucker goal. Chest puffed out and

:26:18. > :26:22.strike, and striked brilliantly. Gareth Bale with a moment of magic!

:26:23. > :26:25.I don't think we played anywhere near to the level we could

:26:26. > :26:32.offensively. Defensively, we did all we could. The two goals were

:26:33. > :26:37.freakish goals. Sturridge, Cahill couldn't get off the floor, Vardy is

:26:38. > :26:43.there. The Jamie Vardy story goes on! It was an unbelievable feeling,

:26:44. > :26:47.to get a goal as well, to bring it back to 1-1. It showed what it meant

:26:48. > :26:53.to all the fans as well. The atmosphere was unbelievable. Daniel

:26:54. > :26:59.Sturridge, Sturridge scores! Talk about passion. This England team

:27:00. > :27:01.have it in bucket-loads. After the game we were disappointed,

:27:02. > :27:08.especially to lose it in that manner. We had a chat straightaway

:27:09. > :27:13.and it is over. It is a win for St George and defeat for the Dragon. No

:27:14. > :27:17.matter what happened in the England game, we were going to need a result

:27:18. > :27:20.from the Russia game. If we can get the ball down and play more, I can

:27:21. > :27:24.influence it a bit more and the other players can do the same. We

:27:25. > :27:27.will enjoy it and make sure we enjoy the game. If we do, we hopefully

:27:28. > :27:34.have the better team to win the game. We have to be confident with

:27:35. > :27:39.the players we have in the squad. We are a talented bunch. The next one

:27:40. > :27:43.is to fully focus on Monday night and hopefully pick up the win again.

:27:44. > :27:47.It is still in our own hands. If you had given us that at the start of

:27:48. > :27:56.the tournament, we would have taken it. We have all to play for and we

:27:57. > :28:01.are still very excited. Aren't we all? You will be able to follow

:28:02. > :28:05.England and Wales' matches across the BBC on Monday night. Tomorrow

:28:06. > :28:11.night, hosts France look to make it three wins out of three when they

:28:12. > :28:14.take on Switzerland. Romania-Albania will be on BBC Four at the same

:28:15. > :28:19.time. Away from the football, Andy Murray is going for a record fifth

:28:20. > :28:24.Queen's Club title tomorrow a week ahead of Wimbledon.

:28:25. > :28:28.Let's head back pitchside to the Parc des Princes where we can hear

:28:29. > :28:32.from Thierry Henry and Dan Walker. Welcome back. As we were walking

:28:33. > :28:37.down here, Thierry said, ask me why it is not happening for Portugal?

:28:38. > :28:42.So, why is it not happening for Portugal? Like we saw with France, a

:28:43. > :28:47.lack of width, guys are supposed to play on the wings are coming inside

:28:48. > :28:53.too early, so that forces the full-back to go up, that sometimes

:28:54. > :28:57.can be crucial on the counters. They will have more success when they use

:28:58. > :29:00.the width. It is not an easy one when you play against a team that

:29:01. > :29:04.defend in the last third of the park. You need to make the pitch as

:29:05. > :29:15.big as you can. What do Austria need to do? We have not seen much of

:29:16. > :29:22.David Alaba. One thing for sure, they have to play long. After, you

:29:23. > :29:27.know, they need to find Alaba. It is easier to play when you face the

:29:28. > :29:33.game, when you are playing with your back to the game. You keep on losing

:29:34. > :29:38.a lot of easy balls. Arnautovic is not in the game. So maybe the tactic

:29:39. > :29:41.today, I know it might go against the identity, is to skip midfield

:29:42. > :29:46.and see what can happen on the flick or something else. Even sometimes

:29:47. > :30:01.Thierry Henry says go long! Sometimes. Off we go. He couldn't

:30:02. > :30:11.hang in the air long enough. Ronaldo! Misses the target. Nani.

:30:12. > :30:19.There he is. He's not smiling there. He is starting to get a bit

:30:20. > :30:23.frustrated, Ronaldo. Let's hope for better things in the second half.

:30:24. > :30:27.From him as well, Alaba has been very quiet. Will there be a change

:30:28. > :30:31.of tactics, a change of style? Give us some goals. Let's re-join Martin

:30:32. > :30:47.Keown and Guy Mowbray. We will do our best. There is no

:30:48. > :30:54.change in personnel at the start of the second half. There was a lengthy

:30:55. > :31:00.conversation between the referee and Cristiano Ronaldo. I cannot remember

:31:01. > :31:05.referee talking to me, I must say. But everyone knows Ronaldo and

:31:06. > :31:10.everyone wants to talk to him. Austria get the second half going.

:31:11. > :31:18.Sebastian Prodl looking to find Arnautovic. There will be a Portugal

:31:19. > :31:24.throw. I wonder if Arnautovic might go down the middle. They need to

:31:25. > :31:30.change something, Austria, it will be more of the same otherwise. It

:31:31. > :31:46.has gone back to Martin Hinteregger. That was really good that Rui

:31:47. > :31:52.Patricio had to save. Stefan Ilsanker bringing pretty much the

:31:53. > :31:58.first save out of Portugal's keeper tonight. There is a break from the

:31:59. > :32:00.boys in red but there was an untimely slip from Nani which caused

:32:01. > :32:16.it to stop. The left-hand side missed a

:32:17. > :32:23.fantastic strike. The keeper does well to get down to his left hand

:32:24. > :32:29.side, Parry is it away. That was unexpected. Nothing like it in the

:32:30. > :32:35.first half. A great technique. It would be some way to score his first

:32:36. > :32:41.international goal. He might even be grudgingly appreciate the save. He

:32:42. > :32:50.started out as a keeper, Stefan Ilsanker.

:32:51. > :32:58.Harnik was stretching too far. The referee's patients has been

:32:59. > :33:01.stretched too far as well. A yellow card for the Austrian number 11. He

:33:02. > :33:08.is not complaining. It is that trail in leg. -- trailing

:33:09. > :33:28.leg. That did not look particularly good

:33:29. > :33:33.challenge. The suggestion is Quaresma went down to easily. It is

:33:34. > :33:38.a very strong suggestion from Stefan Ilsanker. I think the message from

:33:39. > :33:40.half-time was you have got to get tighter to these Portuguese players.

:33:41. > :34:06.Don't allow them any space. From what you have seen of Robert

:34:07. > :34:14.Almer in the Austrian goal so far tonight, I don't suppose Portugal

:34:15. > :34:16.would mind about testing him again. There is Ronaldo. That won't test

:34:17. > :34:36.him. A bit of a twitch from Fernando

:34:37. > :34:44.Santos. He is not one to be overemotional on the touchline. He

:34:45. > :34:51.might be thinking was that a bit too far away for the great Ronaldo?

:34:52. > :35:01.Austria need to bring Alaba into play a lot more than they have done.

:35:02. > :35:23.Baumgartlinger no went lunging in when he did not need to.

:35:24. > :35:31.Carr Valley in the build-up that, little backheel. -- are valued. Such

:35:32. > :35:41.good awareness. Telling all the strings for Portugal.

:35:42. > :35:47.Another close, tight challenge. This one goes unchallenged for Christian

:35:48. > :36:21.Fuchs. I have not said about Gomes match in

:36:22. > :36:23.the first half, but he is a player who sneaks in, a player who covers a

:36:24. > :36:36.wide distance. That was well won by Prodl. A good

:36:37. > :36:50.tackle. Carvalho won the ball fairly in the

:36:51. > :37:03.referee's view. A bit of a panicky clearance from

:37:04. > :37:11.Klein. The second time round, he gets it right. A nudge from Joao

:37:12. > :37:17.Moutinho on Harnik brings Austria the decision. Just using his back

:37:18. > :37:20.there. The referee has done well. Nothing wrong with that. He has won

:37:21. > :37:40.the ball cleanly. The 24 William Carvalho has been the

:37:41. > :37:49.standout player. It is as he has got headphones on and music playing at

:37:50. > :37:52.the moment -- the 24-year-old. I'm trying to imagine the soundtrack you

:37:53. > :37:59.had in your head, when you were playing.

:38:00. > :38:03.That is about the loudest the Portugal end has been all night,

:38:04. > :38:22.willing the ball in. The ball is out, thanks to Julian

:38:23. > :38:28.Baumgartlinger. That trips off the tongue much easier when you are

:38:29. > :38:41.speaking German. It is that quality, you have got to make it count.

:38:42. > :38:47.No chances taken by Hinteregger. ... They have done well from crosses in

:38:48. > :39:01.the main. What an atmosphere we have got at

:39:02. > :39:15.the Parc Des Princes now. Can we get a game to match it? Richard Quaresma

:39:16. > :39:18.has given his team a free kick. A swing of the legs from Christian

:39:19. > :39:26.Fuchs. -- Ricardo Quaresma. This will be all about the quality

:39:27. > :39:57.into the box. The referee is delivering another

:39:58. > :40:12.sermon. He looks like a parson in that shirt. That is deep. Too deep.

:40:13. > :40:35.That for Fernando Santos is demonstrative.

:40:36. > :40:46.I wonder if it will be Gomes who is more likely to score rather than

:40:47. > :40:52.Nani or Ronaldo. That is a good save for Robert Almer. That is the first

:40:53. > :40:59.one which has really been crushed by Cristiano Ronaldo. In a flashy just

:41:00. > :41:07.comes to life. What a shot that is. A great save by the keeper. Almost a

:41:08. > :41:36.shot in defiance. The ball was out. Ronaldo! Goal-line clearance.

:41:37. > :41:55.Portugal get on with things in a hurry. It is Alaba away this time.

:41:56. > :42:06.Baumgartlinger was caught. Austria get the decision here. A great save,

:42:07. > :42:12.you have to say. And the cross coming in, it is Ronaldo again. Look

:42:13. > :42:21.at the height he gets there. Heads it down, textbook.

:42:22. > :42:42.Almer is getting no peppering. -- getting a peppering.

:42:43. > :42:50.Sabitzer seems little timid when he is on the ball. Baumgartlinger

:42:51. > :42:56.isn't. He has been strong to win that one.

:42:57. > :43:13.The flag goes up again. A good ball there.

:43:14. > :43:18.Sabitzer is in that free role, he is back on the right-hand side. Doing

:43:19. > :44:00.their jobs manfully. Sabitzer seen fit once more. Nani

:44:01. > :44:08.was in acres of space there stop chest control from Joao Moutinho.

:44:09. > :44:18.Fuchs trying to stop the ball in the box at all costs. He does that.

:44:19. > :44:26.It comes back off him. The referee linesman has done well. That has

:44:27. > :44:53.been some eagle eyed officiating at this competition.

:44:54. > :45:08.Too much left. It was skewed behind us well. That is unlike him. Who

:45:09. > :45:15.blinks first? Who makes the first substitution changed today? As the

:45:16. > :45:20.group stands, if it ended in a drawer, it would be hungry four

:45:21. > :45:43.points, Iceland and Portugal two, and Austria one. -- Hungary.

:45:44. > :45:50.Ricardo Quaresma seemed to have got through. Thought he was fouled. The

:45:51. > :45:57.referee is coming across, having seen Quaresma down injured, and he

:45:58. > :45:58.has given a yellow card. The assistant was right there and he did

:45:59. > :46:14.not do anything. He's just caught him with that

:46:15. > :46:19.trailing leg. He puts his foot out. OK, he makes a big meal of it, but

:46:20. > :46:29.he catches him. Not sure why the linesman missed it. Portugal will

:46:30. > :46:33.prepare themselves to fire another one in at that Austrian goal. Which

:46:34. > :47:03.is somehow staying protected. A great run from Ronaldo. Pepe,

:47:04. > :47:08.left-winger, right-footed. It's awkwardly put behind, but at least

:47:09. > :47:12.safely put behind from Hinteregger's point of view. Hinteregger has done

:47:13. > :47:17.well when that ball has come in the box. The amount of free headers

:47:18. > :47:19.Ronaldo has had, his movement is so good from corners. He starts at the

:47:20. > :47:26.far post and just attacks the ball. That one safely met by Christian

:47:27. > :47:40.Fuchs. Ricardo Quaresma, Almer - good

:47:41. > :47:44.claim. Plucked off the head of Ronaldo. It's a different goalkeeper

:47:45. > :47:53.now, one that is full of confidence, a couple of good saves. I don't

:47:54. > :47:57.think there will be a rush of clubs to sign him after today, but he is

:47:58. > :48:07.having a game now, so is Baumgartlinger. He did very well

:48:08. > :48:22.there. Baumgartlinger has been signed, he is leaving Mainz to join

:48:23. > :48:43.Bayer Leverkusen. I can sense bit more urgency in the

:48:44. > :48:47.Portuguese body language and an Austrian change that is going to

:48:48. > :48:55.happen in a moment. Alessandro Schopf is going to come on.

:48:56. > :49:15.How was that for a bit of improvisation?

:49:16. > :49:26.Beautifully done. And Baumgartlinger with the foul. They are getting

:49:27. > :49:34.closer with these free kick awards. Joao Moutinho is in agony after that

:49:35. > :49:38.one. You can see why. Yeah. Baumgartlinger just caught him

:49:39. > :49:47.heavy, he trod on him. Just not quick enough to get there. That man

:49:48. > :49:51.again, Ronaldo, is pacing up in the background.

:49:52. > :50:01.Well, with the one he had earlier on in the game, he has had 35 direct

:50:02. > :50:04.free kick attempts at European Championships and World Cups and

:50:05. > :50:10.he's never scored. Gareth Bale is already two up on him at these

:50:11. > :50:15.finals alone. An interesting Austrian change with Alaba coming

:50:16. > :50:22.off. He must be injured. He is not half the player tonight that we know

:50:23. > :50:29.he is capable of. You wondered if he was out there at times tonight.

:50:30. > :50:40.You can almost hear the drum roll here. Ronaldo!

:50:41. > :50:47.Not his night. Yet. He's given it everything, he just can't get it

:50:48. > :50:53.up-and-down in the available space. Somewhat closer than the one before,

:50:54. > :51:05.though. Over 36 now. Baumgartlinger. The slip didn't help

:51:06. > :51:32.him. The clapping rhythm is coming from

:51:33. > :51:39.the Austrian contingent in the crowd. Andre Gomes... Kept it away

:51:40. > :52:05.from Ilsanker, Ronaldo, safely steers it away from Arnautovic.

:52:06. > :52:13.Good awareness from Pepe. Got to get back now. There is a tap on the

:52:14. > :52:18.back, the assistant referee didn't think there was anything wrong with

:52:19. > :52:21.it. Down went Schopf. Pepe needs to be very careful. Already booked, of

:52:22. > :52:37.course. Ronaldo. Safe hands Almer. Safe hands, but

:52:38. > :52:39.that was poor quality. Players in the box, Ronaldo was not happy with

:52:40. > :52:53.that one. We can see more green, spaces are

:52:54. > :53:00.appearing the full-length of the field.

:53:01. > :53:22.Joao Moutinho. Almer was never in any mind to come for that. Ronaldo

:53:23. > :53:29.has caught Hinteregger to give Austria a free kick. You can see

:53:30. > :53:33.there is no grin anymore... I don't feel that was a foul. He pulls out

:53:34. > :53:35.of the overhead if you watch. He doesn't... There is not a lot in

:53:36. > :53:45.that. Portugal are going to have to grind

:53:46. > :53:47.this one out. So much possession in the first half. Nothing changing

:53:48. > :54:04.here in the second. Nobody was going for it. It will

:54:05. > :54:11.bounce out. Goal kick, but only just. Schopf was just trying to get

:54:12. > :54:14.his foot to it and backheel it against Raphael Guerreiro and he

:54:15. > :54:22.nearly succeeded. The official next to the goal, who doesn't seem to

:54:23. > :54:55.make a decision, had a good look at the linesman.

:54:56. > :55:03.That is going to be an Austria goal kick.

:55:04. > :55:10.No goals so far tonight. Might we see some tomorrow? That sees the

:55:11. > :55:14.start of the final group games, which means a choice of viewing

:55:15. > :55:19.tomorrow night. On BBC One, we have Switzerland against France. On BBC

:55:20. > :55:23.Four, you can see Romania against Albania, if that floats your boat

:55:24. > :55:31.more, also getting under way at 7.30pm.

:55:32. > :55:43.Portugal are going to make a change in a moment or two. We have Joao

:55:44. > :55:46.Mario ready to come on. Joao Moutinho giving the ball away, but

:55:47. > :55:56.he was caught late, which is a bit of a relief for him because it

:55:57. > :55:59.wasn't a great pass. Just another word for Julian Baumgartlinger. Do

:56:00. > :56:04.you think he is not booking him because he doesn't want to spell it?

:56:05. > :56:09.Yes, possibly so! He has caught his man. He is already on a booking.

:56:10. > :56:22.He's not. That is why he doesn't want to write it down. Yes. Here is

:56:23. > :56:24.Joao Mario coming on. Ricardo Quaresma makes way. He was on a

:56:25. > :56:47.booking. Interesting to see if Portugal

:56:48. > :56:51.change it in any way at all. Ronaldo now on this left-hand side. Less

:56:52. > :56:59.central than he was before. Ronaldo. A chance for Joao Mario

:57:00. > :57:18.straightaway. With just under 19 minutes of the 90

:57:19. > :57:22.to go, Austria have more than settled for this. I think they are

:57:23. > :57:31.quite happy with the result as it stands. Backing their chances of

:57:32. > :57:36.beating Austria in their - Iceland, I beg your pardon - in their final

:57:37. > :57:42.group game. It would get them off the mark, a point.

:57:43. > :57:50.Portugal are perhaps trying a bit too hard at the moment.

:57:51. > :57:55.Baumgartlinger. That was very nicely collected. And a positive run as

:57:56. > :58:04.well from Schopf. Now it is Sabitzer.

:58:05. > :58:10.Nowhere to go for Marcel Sabitzer. Did well to turn and find Schopf.

:58:11. > :58:16.Baumgartlinger is down. Free kick Austria.

:58:17. > :58:36.They are asking questions. Good play here.

:58:37. > :58:41.We saw the reaction of Marko Arnautovic when he wasn't allowed to

:58:42. > :58:53.do anything with the free kick that Alaba struck from an angle. He is

:58:54. > :59:03.having this one. No Alaba to pull rank since being substituted.

:59:04. > :59:13.Sabitzer wants to have a piece of this. Christian Fuchs is saying no,

:59:14. > :59:23.leave it to Marco. It is Sabitzer. Now it is Fuchs. And that was all a

:59:24. > :59:27.bit of a Horlicks! It is almost a set of comedy errors, look at it.

:59:28. > :59:31.Terrible finish in the end. Arnautovic has walked away, trudged

:59:32. > :59:47.away, disgusted, he wanted to hit that one.

:59:48. > :59:53.That surely is the sort of situation where Austria have to make the

:59:54. > :59:57.absolute most of it. You cannot believe it. Defending manfully,

:59:58. > :00:02.riding their luck, you get an opportunity like that, you have to

:00:03. > :00:04.take it, at least Arnautovic should be taking that. Surely he should be

:00:05. > :00:12.taking that on. Joao Mario has been lively since

:00:13. > :00:18.leaving the bench. Fuchs to Ilsanker and Ilsanker gets

:00:19. > :00:48.in a muddle with Arnautovic. There is a bit of an Austrian

:00:49. > :01:10.reluctance to chase that sort of ball.

:01:11. > :01:18.The emphasis is on Portugal to be patient, to keep moving this ball.

:01:19. > :01:34.We have seen this with France. The ball went perfectly between

:01:35. > :01:44.them. Not quite going to script that the

:01:45. > :02:00.moment. Across comes Prodl. Sebastien Prodl

:02:01. > :02:23.of Watford has had a very good game. Ronaldo is now going into that mode

:02:24. > :02:33.where he tries to wag his finger and my decisions. Baumgartlinger is like

:02:34. > :03:00.a rock in the midfield. There is Ronaldo. Joao Moutinho, Joao Mario.

:03:01. > :03:13.Schopf made it very easy for Pepe and William. Andre Gomes.

:03:14. > :03:23.Sabitzer has only just got back to help out. He was running in to

:03:24. > :03:32.recall trying to track from halfway. Down went Ronaldo. It is a penalty.

:03:33. > :03:46.It was Hinteregger with him. It is a booking for the Borussia

:03:47. > :03:51.Monchengladbach man as well. He is just fighting with him. This is

:03:52. > :04:00.almost a rugby tackle. Ronaldo getting on the end of it. Aid the

:04:01. > :04:06.net penalty. -- a definite penalty. I think it is the first time and

:04:07. > :04:11.Portugal have been awarded a penalty in their 30th European Championship

:04:12. > :04:16.finals game. Only one man going to take it. The fifth penalty given at

:04:17. > :04:19.this tournament. All four have been scored so far. He will not be first

:04:20. > :04:32.to miss, will he? Robert Almer has made some useful

:04:33. > :04:34.saves after looking shaky early on. If he keeps this one out, it will be

:04:35. > :04:55.the biggest save of his career. Off the post! Would you believe

:04:56. > :05:03.that?! There is the first missed penalty of Euro 2016.

:05:04. > :05:11.The Prince has lost his crown tonight. He has lost his smile as

:05:12. > :05:18.well. You cannot believe that. You would pit your house on him getting

:05:19. > :05:20.that. He has watched the keeper dived to the left and he has missed

:05:21. > :06:15.it. Outcomes Almer. He will be the hero

:06:16. > :06:17.now. Ronaldo is having such a bad night. One of his colleagues is

:06:18. > :06:40.going to help him out. The Austrians celebrated that ball

:06:41. > :06:45.striking the post as if there team had just scored a goal to seal a

:06:46. > :06:50.famous win. They are still hanging on. It gives you that extra energy

:06:51. > :06:58.to think, maybe it will be our night. A really good ball.

:06:59. > :07:58.Fuchs finds Arnautovic. Arnautovic. Into the box, looking for Schopf.

:07:59. > :08:11.Pepe clears. Don't go anywhere. Stay where you

:08:12. > :08:14.are, we will get more later on. Good play from Arnautovic. I think he has

:08:15. > :08:25.got cramp though, a big man. The Austrian shouts for something on

:08:26. > :08:33.the edge of the box. Not listened to. They have the ball back though.

:08:34. > :08:43.Here is Nani again getting it wrong, decision-making.

:08:44. > :08:59.That is a free kick for Raphael Guerreiro on Sabitzer. Portugal sub.

:09:00. > :09:05.Andre Gomes off. And Eder, briefly of Swansea last season, but now a

:09:06. > :09:07.real man. He comes on to try and get a goal the more illustrious

:09:08. > :09:34.colleagues couldn't. William Carvalho with one of his

:09:35. > :09:47.very few missed placed ball for the night.

:09:48. > :09:55.Christian Fuchs stands in the way of Ronaldo, but it hit his hand.

:09:56. > :10:03.Christian Fuchs is on a card. He can't contest the call to much.

:10:04. > :10:12.Another Austria change. He can't get his arm out of the way, can he?

:10:13. > :10:23.Taking off Sabitzer, and putting on Lukas Hinterseer.

:10:24. > :10:34.Marcel Sabitzer is in no great hurry to get off here. He is moving about

:10:35. > :10:39.as fast as he did when he went to help the defence five minutes ago.

:10:40. > :10:43.His shattered. He has given everything to his team. Lukas

:10:44. > :10:52.Hinterseer is a striker but he will have to go into defence first of

:10:53. > :10:59.all. A good delivery for Ronaldo! It is not counting. It really isn't his

:11:00. > :11:08.night. It really isn't Portugal's. They must be getting that feeling

:11:09. > :11:15.now. Fantastic from the linesman. It is a great leap again, a quality

:11:16. > :11:26.finish. This is painful for him. The anguish on his face. Every decision

:11:27. > :11:32.now is being contested. It bounced up and hit the arm. The referee gave

:11:33. > :11:46.handball. Schopf gets a card for arguing.

:11:47. > :11:56.Four and a bit minutes to go. A little bit too add-on, I am sure.

:11:57. > :12:11.Here is the final Austrian change. Stefan Ilsanker going off.

:12:12. > :12:18.That is one of the defensive midfielders off and effectively

:12:19. > :12:21.three midfielders are now. Austria hope it is not too many cooks. He

:12:22. > :12:37.will fit in front. Portugal cannot be downhearted. They

:12:38. > :12:43.must keep working for the winner. Ronaldo will. They can't keep that

:12:44. > :12:54.down. He is simmering, almost boiling point. Another good leap for

:12:55. > :12:56.him there. I just wonder if he will get another chance. He has three all

:12:57. > :13:18.four minutes to go. Portugal's coach Fernando Santos was

:13:19. > :13:25.asked who is the best player in the world, Ronaldo or Lionel Messi and

:13:26. > :13:34.he said, you cannot compare geniuses, who is better, Mozart or

:13:35. > :13:41.Beethoven? He is without it tuned tonight. -- without it tuned

:13:42. > :13:57.tonight. He is human. Another handball, another free kick

:13:58. > :14:03.for Portugal. Another one they have to take mightily quickly. Just

:14:04. > :14:19.caught the arm. He wants to keep that ball for his

:14:20. > :14:25.team. Nani going off. Disappointing, I felt tonight. Good opportunities

:14:26. > :14:37.earlier in the game. Rafa Silva is on. Like Nani, a winner with an eye

:14:38. > :14:44.for goal. Two of the three tenors have been subbed. He is a soloist

:14:45. > :14:50.again. Rafa Silva, what an introduction this is. Cleared by

:14:51. > :14:59.Hinteregger. Here is Vieirinha. Cleared by Hinteregger again.

:15:00. > :15:02.Arnautovic has been almost an extra left-back for much of the last

:15:03. > :15:20.quarter of an hour. Some useful defending from Raphael

:15:21. > :15:29.Guerreiro. All credit to Austria coming out, trying to grab a goal on

:15:30. > :15:37.counterattack. If they could make it, wouldn't that be a turn up? And

:15:38. > :15:49.anguished expression on the face of Fernando Santos now.

:15:50. > :16:04.People still can't resist a wave when they see their face on the

:16:05. > :16:08.big-screens. They are all shocked with the amount of chances Ronaldo

:16:09. > :16:14.has missed, and the penalty as well to go with it. Free kick for

:16:15. > :16:16.Austria. There is a touch of cramp for Martin Harnik. Three minutes

:16:17. > :16:29.more. Is this to be yet another Euro 2016

:16:30. > :16:33.to be decided in additional time? Arnautovic - the flag is up. Pepe

:16:34. > :16:53.turned it behind. Austria, a couple of minutes away

:16:54. > :16:58.from their first-ever clean sheet at the Euros, their first in 14 matches

:16:59. > :17:05.at major tournaments. The last one was in 1982 at the World Cup. It is

:17:06. > :17:12.not there yet. Baumgartlinger, who has been a key reason for that.

:17:13. > :17:19.Ronaldo. Played back into trouble by Hinteregger, who stood frozen after

:17:20. > :17:30.his mistake. Baumgartlinger forward, Schopf.

:17:31. > :17:40.Hinteregger chases. Austria's throw. You feel if Austria

:17:41. > :17:42.had a bit more pace and conviction on the break, they might be able to

:17:43. > :17:52.nick one. Whose prayers are going to be

:17:53. > :18:31.answered? Sebastian Prodl has been immense.

:18:32. > :18:36.Great defending there. Straight in. Klein. Just eased Rafa Silva away

:18:37. > :18:51.from the ball. Pepe. Still time if Portugal are quick

:18:52. > :18:58.about it. In to Eduardo. -- Eder. It is Klein who headed it away. In

:18:59. > :19:03.fact, it came off the head of Eder. Austria have become very desperate.

:19:04. > :19:21.Portugal are trying to hit it long. Running out of ideas.

:19:22. > :19:32.Austria have one point at Euro 2016, an unlikely one. Portugal have two.

:19:33. > :19:35.They will wonder how on earth they haven't got their first win on the

:19:36. > :19:41.board. We do know why - it is because of one key moment in

:19:42. > :19:43.particular. Cristiano Ronaldo only hitting the post when presented with

:19:44. > :19:55.a penalty. Portugal might need to win their

:19:56. > :19:59.final group game and Austria will need to beat Iceland. No goals, but

:20:00. > :20:07.plenty went on in Paris tonight. Portugal 0, Austria 0.

:20:08. > :20:15.STUDIO: Cristiano Ronaldo, what an evening for him. Quite an enjoyable

:20:16. > :20:21.0-0 in many ways. But not a result that Portugal would have wanted and

:20:22. > :20:24.probably not Austria either. They would settle for that given the

:20:25. > :20:31.circumstances of that game. Let's have a look at Group F.

:20:32. > :20:35.Portugal are third, but a win against Hungary will guarantee they

:20:36. > :20:39.reach the last 16. Anything else and the Portuguese permutations become

:20:40. > :20:44.complex. It is simple for Austria - they have to beat Iceland or they

:20:45. > :20:47.are definitely out. I have watched Ronaldo for many

:20:48. > :20:53.years. I can't quite recall him having an evening like that one?

:20:54. > :20:57.Remember the date because we have witnessed something tonight, one of

:20:58. > :21:05.the greatest goalscorers of all time having a nightmare. It was one, two,

:21:06. > :21:11.three - we were sat here in disbelief. It shows what he is made

:21:12. > :21:16.of, the fact that he keeps going? Also, it shows he is human. What he

:21:17. > :21:20.has been doing over the last ten years is relentless goalscoring

:21:21. > :21:23.achievement after achievement. Today, what I would say is, he

:21:24. > :21:27.didn't get the rub of the green, he didn't put the ball in the net, his

:21:28. > :21:33.head didn't go down, he was still getting in there, that is why these

:21:34. > :21:37.players are great players. When the chance goes begging, nay get up,

:21:38. > :21:40.brush themselves down and get back in for another one. It was an

:21:41. > :21:43.extraordinary game. We have seen a lot of these at this tournament

:21:44. > :21:47.where the finishing has not been as good as previously. You don't expect

:21:48. > :21:52.it from the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo? You don't. Portugal

:21:53. > :21:56.completely dominated the play today. You had a feeling when he stepped up

:21:57. > :22:01.for that penalty - we had a conversation between ourselves,

:22:02. > :22:05.surely not? It wasn't to be. When he pulled that penalty on to the pace,

:22:06. > :22:10.wow. After his comments about Iceland, he won't be getting too

:22:11. > :22:15.much sympathy from those guys. We sat there, I'm thinking, I don't

:22:16. > :22:18.fancy him. I thought the same thing. Five or six chances before that,

:22:19. > :22:25.he's had two big chances in the previous game. It was a penalty.

:22:26. > :22:29.Yes. His movement was great. He got the wrong side of the defender. It

:22:30. > :22:33.was a penalty. It's the space that he wants to attack. The defender

:22:34. > :22:37.panics. When he knows that space is behind him, he thinks, I have to do

:22:38. > :22:43.something to stop him. It's a clear penalty. You panic in there. He

:22:44. > :22:49.misses. His movement in the box was so good that led to it. And he hits

:22:50. > :22:52.the post. He has missed four of his last five penalties. If he has

:22:53. > :22:57.missed four or five chances in the game, which you have done quite

:22:58. > :23:01.often(!) Only once! Is there more pressure then? Absolutely. You never

:23:02. > :23:05.want to shy away from it, I wouldn't. You have a chance to score

:23:06. > :23:07.a goal. If he puts that in, all the other chances are forgotten. The

:23:08. > :23:11.pressure is right on you there because of the four or five you have

:23:12. > :23:16.missed. What about that, the fact that he has missed four out of five,

:23:17. > :23:23.do you not think somebody should step up? I have missed one or two.

:23:24. > :23:27.You do. Even the greatest. Yes, I can't remember missing as many

:23:28. > :23:32.chances in a game, six or seven we have counted... They were big

:23:33. > :23:36.chances for him. That is why we are discussing it, because of who he is,

:23:37. > :23:41.and his record with goalscoring. He did get the ball into the net,

:23:42. > :23:46.clearly offside. But a good spot from the referee's assistant? A very

:23:47. > :23:54.good spot. Also good play from the Austrian backline, to hold your line

:23:55. > :23:59.like that. He is offside. The backline drops early. They hold

:24:00. > :24:03.their line, they stay brave. You see Ronaldo behind you, the instinct is

:24:04. > :24:09.to pick him up. His face tells you the story. It wasn't his night. He's

:24:10. > :24:18.had 20 shots in this tournament, four on target. That is 20 shots,

:24:19. > :24:21.ten in each game. No goals. His movement here, he takes the defender

:24:22. > :24:29.away. Beautiful play from the striker. And he runs in and attacks

:24:30. > :24:35.the space. The finish wasn't good. Listen, you can't fault his effort.

:24:36. > :24:39.And his determination to constantly keep getting in there time after

:24:40. > :24:46.time and not be afraid to miss another one. I tell you one thing...

:24:47. > :24:51.What a save this is. He had a great game, Almer. That is when we sat

:24:52. > :24:56.here thinking, you know what, he ain't going to score tonight. You

:24:57. > :25:01.are getting so many, the goalkeeper pulls off a brilliant save. The leap

:25:02. > :25:07.is superb. I wouldn't like to be the Hungary back four. He's going to be

:25:08. > :25:13.going into that game an angry man. The desperation will unreal. If the

:25:14. > :25:18.manager selects him! He's missed four out of his last five penalties,

:25:19. > :25:22.when you on a run where you haven't scored from penalties and free kick,

:25:23. > :25:29.you think to yourself, someone will say, can I have one? Can you imagine

:25:30. > :25:33.his reaction? He would give him the look. What about Austria? They will

:25:34. > :25:37.be delighted they have hung on there, they have shown great spirit

:25:38. > :25:43.and resilience. Almer was terrific? Yes, they didn't create a lot.

:25:44. > :25:47.Portugal dominated the majority of possession. But they hung on. They

:25:48. > :25:50.have another point out of it. And I don't think they are the team that

:25:51. > :25:55.people may be thought they were coming into the competition. I'm

:25:56. > :26:02.sure they are not. We know that now. They will be delighted with that

:26:03. > :26:06.point. We have gone through the game. This was at the start of the

:26:07. > :26:12.second half. A good effort. A good save. It was the only bit of quality

:26:13. > :26:15.that they put together. It was a strike from Ilsanker, the striker

:26:16. > :26:21.who laid it off to him was a handful throughout the game. That was...

:26:22. > :26:26.That was it. Then when you have been dominated by another team, and you

:26:27. > :26:33.do get an opportunity, a free kick from 20 yards out... I know. What

:26:34. > :26:38.was this about? This is your opportunity, have a crack at goal.

:26:39. > :26:43.What is that? Out of the three people around the ball, he was the

:26:44. > :26:51.one with the least finesse. No wonder the manager is going mad.

:26:52. > :26:55.Wrong! Going back to the first half, Ronaldo was not the only player for

:26:56. > :26:58.Portugal that had chances. Nani had a couple as well, who scored of

:26:59. > :27:05.course in the first game. Yes, I thought he was bright in the first

:27:06. > :27:16.half. He scored in the first game. Another great save. From probably

:27:17. > :27:19.the Man of the Match. Absolutely. You thought Austria could pop up

:27:20. > :27:24.with something here. They never amounted to anything when they had

:27:25. > :27:28.the ball. It was one of them days. Usually when teams miss chances, you

:27:29. > :27:35.pay for it. I don't think Austria had that cutting-edge or quality to

:27:36. > :27:39.do it. A great evening for them. Certainly was. Let's head back to

:27:40. > :27:43.the Parc des Princes where Thierry is back with Dan.

:27:44. > :27:47.Welcome back to pitchside. I wanted to show you this. The Austrian

:27:48. > :27:51.players are getting a huge reception from their fans. Thierry Henry, you

:27:52. > :27:58.find that confusing. They have one point from two games. Listen, in a

:27:59. > :28:04.way, I am, like, listen, it is amazing to see that. They lost the

:28:05. > :28:09.first game. They drew today. They think they can beat Iceland because

:28:10. > :28:13.they are like, they are acting like, you know, that they are going

:28:14. > :28:18.through, or they just went through. Give the Austrian fans a lot of

:28:19. > :28:23.credit. They are outstanding. They did support the team, the way the

:28:24. > :28:27.team was playing, so give them the credit. They only have one point. I

:28:28. > :28:30.have to ask you about the star man on the other side. He did have a

:28:31. > :28:37.selfie with a fan on the pitch at the end, but nothing else went right

:28:38. > :28:42.for him. Free kicks, missed, goal disallowed. And you felt he was

:28:43. > :28:49.going to miss the penalty. Why? He created a lot of chances. He was in

:28:50. > :28:52.the box. Normally, he would have scored two, or a hat-trick. He

:28:53. > :28:57.didn't. I don't know why. When he was about to take the penalty, I

:28:58. > :29:00.didn't fancy him to score. He started to speak with the referee

:29:01. > :29:04.before he was taking it. I didn't fancy him because sometime you can

:29:05. > :29:10.see in the game when a player is not at it. He was not at it maybe

:29:11. > :29:15.tonight. I still back him to score in the third game. He is a great

:29:16. > :29:19.player. It can happen. I missed so many penalties. I didn't fancy him

:29:20. > :29:22.to score tonight. You will be back in the studio tomorrow covering your

:29:23. > :29:27.country France. You have seen everybody play. Do you believe the

:29:28. > :29:34.hosts have a great chance, having seen everyone else, of winning this?

:29:35. > :29:37.I still think so. I think we are still looking to find the right way,

:29:38. > :29:42.the right formation yet. We won two important games. Did we play well? I

:29:43. > :29:46.don't think so. Did we fight well? Yes, we did. So that team can be

:29:47. > :29:52.better and will be better, hopefully. Now, I saw Italy and

:29:53. > :29:56.Spain, too. We obviously going to have to play better than what we

:29:57. > :30:00.have shown recently. That team has quality, I believe in that team. I

:30:01. > :30:05.believe in France. Do you know only one man in the history of the Euros

:30:06. > :30:12.has had more shots than you. One guess? Cristiano Ronaldo? Correct. A

:30:13. > :30:16.pleasure. See you later. Thanks, Dan. I will try and top that

:30:17. > :30:20.one with the fact that Ronaldo has had more shots in this tournament

:30:21. > :30:24.than nine teams put together! We will have coverage of hosts France

:30:25. > :30:26.as they look to make it three wins out of three when they take on

:30:27. > :30:42.Switzerland on BBC One. If you cannot wait to see Thierry

:30:43. > :30:45.again, his documentary is later on BBC One. Andy Murray is going for a

:30:46. > :30:59.record Queen's Club title again. We have seen all the teams twice

:31:00. > :31:03.now. Your overall impressions, who do you fancy? Spain were impressive.

:31:04. > :31:08.France are yet to hit the high notes but they are winning which is a good

:31:09. > :31:15.sign. Italy have been very much as I expected them. All the big hitters

:31:16. > :31:21.are there. Any surprises or any outsiders? I think Poland and

:31:22. > :31:29.Austria are teams which people had them down as outsiders. I went with

:31:30. > :31:32.France at the beginning. England? They have surprised me with how well

:31:33. > :31:37.they have played in the tournament. Whether they can go on and do

:31:38. > :31:43.anything. Just because they have not put the ball in the back of the net,

:31:44. > :31:47.granted, but I think the performance. I think with the

:31:48. > :31:52.Spanish team and the French team and the German team, they are asking a

:31:53. > :32:03.lot of questions. England are still finding their way, I believe. No one

:32:04. > :32:15.has really stood out yet. Pyatt. To match -- two French players as well.

:32:16. > :32:23.Is ever a country needed a goal, it was that game and that goal. That

:32:24. > :32:29.guy did it. He has done it all season with West Ham and now he has

:32:30. > :32:34.done it twice. When he gets the opportunity, a lot of people said he

:32:35. > :32:38.would pass it. The impressive thing about France is the manager and how

:32:39. > :32:45.he has dealt with leaving big players out. Then he brought them on

:32:46. > :32:51.again in the second game in the second half and they have turned the

:32:52. > :32:55.game. Overall, the quality of the football, the ratio and percentage

:32:56. > :33:01.of goals is as low as we have seen in any major tournament. Is that a

:33:02. > :33:05.concern? Wherein the group stages. I think when we get into the last 16,

:33:06. > :33:15.the quality will inevitably increase. It will get better. Rio?

:33:16. > :33:18.Teams are coming out. The starting teams can sometimes suppressed

:33:19. > :33:27.talent at times. We hope teams become more open and free stock to

:33:28. > :33:30.have two teams trying to win a game would be nice. It has to be a good

:33:31. > :33:33.thing for players who might never get a chance to play in a

:33:34. > :33:36.competition like this, for fans who might not get the opportunity to

:33:37. > :33:42.come and watch. That is a good thing but I don't think the standard has

:33:43. > :33:48.been as high. Were almost out of time. Thank you very much. On one

:33:49. > :33:59.knee's rotten evening, it is a bad night for him and a good night for

:34:00. > :34:07.us -- Ronnie's rotten evening. Ronaldo! He misses the target.

:34:08. > :34:18.What a clearance from Vieirinha. Really good drive! That is a good

:34:19. > :34:19.save! Would you believe that?!
