Welcome to St Etienne as Portugal and Iceland become the last two

:01:04.:01:13.

teams to get their Euro 2016 underway.

:01:14.:01:24.

So, the last two teams to get their Euros under

:01:25.:01:27.

It has been raining again here today, but the sunshine has

:01:28.:01:33.

come out in the early evening, just as it did yesterday in Lyon.

:01:34.:01:40.

So, Portugal, who have actually lost at home to Albania

:01:41.:01:46.

and the Cape Verde Islands in the last two years,

:01:47.:01:48.

are without Ricardo Quaresma, who is injured.

:01:49.:01:50.

Ricardo Carvalho and Pepe are hardly the youngest central defensive

:01:51.:01:55.

On their bench, 18-year-old Renato Sanches, who has just signed

:01:56.:02:03.

for Bayern Munich for a fee which could rise to ?61 million.

:02:04.:02:10.

Cuneyt Cakir, from Turkey, is the referee.

:02:11.:02:15.

Although not without the odd blemish on his record,

:02:16.:02:21.

as Manchester United fans might tell you.

:02:22.:02:30.

The captain on the right, Aron Gunnarsson.

:02:31.:02:39.

Don't forget that Iceland almost qualified for

:02:40.:02:42.

the last World Cup, only losing in the play-off to Croatia.

:02:43.:02:44.

The team plays for clubs scattered across northern Europe.

:02:45.:02:50.

Gudmundsson, Gunnarsson, Sigurdsson play in the English leagues.

:02:51.:02:54.

Of course, strikers Sigthorsson and Bodvarsson play for Nantes

:02:55.:02:56.

Sigthorsson, 20 goals in 39 internationals.

:02:57.:03:05.

At the back, Kari Arnason captained Malmo in a Uefa Champions League

:03:06.:03:08.

match against Real Madrid, where they lost 8-0.

:03:09.:03:11.

And when you come to watch Cristiano Ronaldo play,

:03:12.:03:25.

you are expecting big things to happen tonight.

:03:26.:03:28.

Hopefully he can light up this tournament with a big performance.

:03:29.:03:37.

Iceland, a big occasion for them, can they nullify the threat?

:03:38.:03:44.

and Iceland are introduced the referee blows his whistle

:03:45.:03:50.

to international football at its peak.

:03:51.:03:56.

All in white against Portugal, who are predominantly in red.

:03:57.:04:04.

Ronaldo is immediately knocked off the ball and gets a glare.

:04:05.:04:06.

It was a strong challenge from Aron Gunnarsson,

:04:07.:04:11.

who dispossessed Cristiano Ronaldo and then glared at him.

:04:12.:04:16.

Through to the goalkeeper, Halldorsson, who will be happy

:04:17.:04:35.

Did well, Iceland, getting bodies back

:04:36.:04:39.

Ronaldo running at the opposition, getting a bit of freedom.

:04:40.:04:51.

It's not all about Ronaldo, obviously it's mostly about Ronaldo,

:04:52.:05:14.

but when you look around and see Pepe, Danilo,

:05:15.:05:18.

Joao Moutinho and Joao Mario, they have some other good players.

:05:19.:05:21.

I was particularly impressed when Danilo played

:05:22.:05:27.

He looks like another one that has come off the Portuguese

:05:28.:05:31.

I'm sure he will be looking to secure a move at some stage,

:05:32.:05:36.

Inside to Joao Moutinho, away to Pepe.

:05:37.:05:42.

That is a good ball from Mario into the box, but straight

:05:43.:05:45.

into the comfortable grasp of Hannes Halldorsson.

:05:46.:05:50.

Fernando Santos in charge of Portugal.

:05:51.:05:57.

We talk about Iceland being debutants, and they are.

:05:58.:05:59.

There on the right, Heimir Hallgrimsson,

:06:00.:06:05.

but the very familiar Lars Lagerback,

:06:06.:06:07.

this is his seventh major tournament final.

:06:08.:06:09.

Six with Sweden and one with Nigeria.

:06:10.:06:13.

He is no debutant, he's been around the block.

:06:14.:06:15.

Gylfi Sigurdsson cuts inside, Sigurdsson!

:06:16.:06:22.

That was nearly the story of the first week in the Euros

:06:23.:06:31.

Excellent work down the left-hand side.

:06:32.:06:36.

He has to clean the ball out, put it in the stand if necessary.

:06:37.:06:50.

If you are Iceland you want Sigurdsson with those big chances.

:06:51.:06:53.

As he steps inside, Danilo, you expect him to bend it

:06:54.:07:20.

beyond Patricio in goal, past his left hand side,

:07:21.:07:23.

He went for power and it was a comfortable save in the end.

:07:24.:07:27.

Trying to give him the eyes, trying to go near post.

:07:28.:07:30.

Eidur Gudjohnsen in the middle of your shot there.

:07:31.:07:39.

Still going, 37 years young, Eidur Gudjohnsen.

:07:40.:07:44.

He will retire from international football for the second time

:07:45.:07:46.

The free kick does go Portugal's way.

:07:47.:08:06.

Nani is edging towards 100 caps, after tonight, 97 for Nani.

:08:07.:08:11.

Another one who has the talent but hasn't always consistent enough.

:08:12.:08:20.

Pepe has come forward, so has Ricardo Carvalho.

:08:21.:08:29.

He has had two or three good touches.

:08:30.:08:42.

Not the greatest free kick from Joao Moutinho.

:08:43.:08:48.

Been caught out a few times in possession, Iceland.

:08:49.:09:04.

A lot of experience in Iceland's back four.

:09:05.:09:10.

Three of the back four started every game in qualification.

:09:11.:09:21.

Flicked on, deflected, another corner.

:09:22.:09:29.

Danilo just trying to get the direction on it,

:09:30.:09:44.

not able to get the power coming away from goal.

:09:45.:09:46.

Joao Moutinho with the second corner.

:09:47.:09:48.

the referee having a word with Aron Gunnarsson.

:09:49.:10:05.

The temptation is to see Iceland as rank outsiders

:10:06.:10:07.

and total underdogs, but they came into this

:10:08.:10:11.

tournament coming second in the qualification group,

:10:12.:10:13.

Three teams from that group made the finals, because Turkey

:10:14.:10:19.

came through a play-off, and the Netherlands

:10:20.:10:20.

Just missed out on the last World Cup to an excellent Croatian

:10:21.:10:30.

It has been a work in progress in the last ten years.

:10:31.:10:38.

The blue-shirted hordes from Iceland reacted rather late

:10:39.:10:50.

It was a long time up before they realised it.

:10:51.:10:55.

Bjarnason arrives on the scene, the decision has gone Portugal's way.

:10:56.:11:22.

He will stand down at the end of this tournament.

:11:23.:11:26.

And the man alongside, Heimir Hallgrimsson,

:11:27.:11:31.

We talked about Iceland having a population the size of Leicester,

:11:32.:11:41.

I did put a call into the Icelandic Embassy this morning

:11:42.:11:51.

to ask how many Icelandic men that are between the age of 20-40

:11:52.:11:54.

who could conceivably be picked for the squad.

:11:55.:11:57.

That means if you are an Icelandic man in that age group you have

:11:58.:12:02.

a one in 2000 chance of being in the squad.

:12:03.:12:08.

For someone whose name ends in -son, I'm a bit disappointed

:12:09.:12:11.

That was a poor ball from Sigurdsson from the back.

:12:12.:12:31.

Joao Moutinho loves the feel of the ball at his feet.

:12:32.:13:07.

Guerreiro with the throw-in for Portugal.

:13:08.:13:30.

Gudmundsson inside to Gylfi Sigurdsson.

:13:31.:13:40.

Danilo immediately in on Gylfi Sigurdsson.

:13:41.:13:41.

That is exactly what he does, that is why he plays in the side.

:13:42.:13:54.

Allows the likes of Moutinho and Mario ahead of him

:13:55.:13:56.

Ten minutes in and the best chance was for Iceland.

:13:57.:14:25.

They have not been great in possession, Iceland,

:14:26.:14:30.

when they have had it, a few overhit passes.

:14:31.:14:36.

But when you get those chances, those big chances, those big

:14:37.:14:39.

moments, you want them to fall to Sigurdsson

:14:40.:14:41.

and you expect him to do better with the chance he had.

:14:42.:14:44.

Danilo, to the feet of Joao Moutinho.

:14:45.:15:21.

Bjarnason made the challenge and the referee saw

:15:22.:15:26.

Referee said he won the ball and not sure there was much contact.

:15:27.:15:48.

Skulason will take the throw-in.

:15:49.:16:20.

Hand raised, as soon he released the ball he knew

:16:21.:16:47.

In a good position, the full-back, but the referee has

:16:48.:17:20.

You want the game to flow, in a good position going forward.

:17:21.:17:33.

Awareness from Moutinho to spot the run.

:17:34.:17:35.

A good-looking ball, just didn't quite find Joao Mario.

:17:36.:18:20.

Just a bit scrappy at the moment, isn't it?

:18:21.:18:56.

They're not able to string a few passes together.

:18:57.:19:04.

Carvalho, the ageing Portuguese defender, now at Monaco.

:19:05.:19:13.

Danilo. Vierinha.

:19:14.:19:36.

We have seen that challenge from Ricardo Carvalho a lot.

:19:37.:19:54.

He knows what he is doing, just leaving his foot

:19:55.:19:56.

Keeping a very good shape, Iceland.

:19:57.:20:57.

The goalkeeper just wanted a second look at that.

:20:58.:21:12.

Just a very good attacking full-back, Vieirinha.

:21:13.:21:20.

Strikes it well enough, just did not have the direction.

:21:21.:21:22.

He is a little bit off-balance, although he struck it well enough.

:21:23.:22:02.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is down at the moment for Iceland.

:22:03.:22:34.

Portugal are about to put the ball out of play.

:22:35.:22:41.

Ronaldo gave it to Gudmundsson so that he could do so.

:22:42.:22:43.

The referee is coming over to have a look at Sigurdsson.

:22:44.:22:54.

He has just trodden on the top of his left foot.

:22:55.:23:04.

One of the most historic stadiums in France, home to Saint-Etienne,

:23:05.:23:22.

of course, who had that great team in the 1970s,

:23:23.:23:36.

with Jacques Santini, who managed Spurs, who is here today.

:23:37.:23:39.

As is the star of the team which reached the European

:23:40.:23:48.

Cup Final in 1976, Dominique Rocheteau.

:23:49.:23:49.

Danilo for Portugal, who have not really troubled Halldorsson yet -

:23:50.:23:57.

certainly not with anything which would unduly worry him.

:23:58.:24:04.

That was a brilliant ball in from Ronaldo,

:24:05.:24:11.

and Nani's header hit the goalkeeper.

:24:12.:24:12.

Shifting it onto his right foot, great ball in.

:24:13.:24:21.

It is actually a really good save from Halldorsson,

:24:22.:24:30.

Provided a bit of room, actually and Nani's header

:24:31.:25:05.

will loop over the top of Halldorsson's crossbar.

:25:06.:25:08.

It was the way Ronaldo got the cross in, the change of feet,

:25:09.:25:11.

Good movement from Nani to recognise it.

:25:12.:25:28.

And that is a really, really good save.

:25:29.:25:30.

Getting across his line, Halldorsson.

:25:31.:25:31.

Iceland couldn't really profit from that.

:25:32.:25:55.

Gomes now for Portugal with a powerful surge.

:25:56.:26:02.

Pulling away onto the shoulder of the defender, getting across him,

:26:03.:26:20.

just couldn't quite get the direction.

:26:21.:26:26.

If he has a good tournament, Ronaldo, he could become the

:26:27.:26:36.

highest-scoring player of all time in European Championship finals.

:26:37.:26:40.

Michel Platini, on nine, Alan Shearer on seven.

:26:41.:26:44.

Ronaldo currently on six in his three previous tournaments.

:26:45.:27:01.

As you said earlier, Kevin, you can throw any figure

:27:02.:27:07.

in the air and you'll find an achievement that matches him.

:27:08.:27:10.

More than 50 goals again, just amazing.

:27:11.:27:17.

Six seasons running now, 50 goals plus.

:27:18.:27:41.

Iceland will be quite happy with the way it has gone.

:27:42.:27:48.

Gudmundsson felt that, and has got the free kick.

:27:49.:28:10.

Someone needs to wake up, because Bjarnason is there.

:28:11.:28:17.

Pepe goes to ground and gets the free kick,

:28:18.:28:19.

but there was certainly hesitation there.

:28:20.:28:31.

When you let it bounce you are under pressure.

:28:32.:28:33.

We know, they are uncomfortable at times, Pepe and Carvalho.

:28:34.:28:38.

Alan Shearer spoke about set pieces for Iceland,

:28:39.:28:40.

The quality hasn't always been great in this first half up to now.

:28:41.:28:45.

Patted away by goalkeeper Halldorsson.

:28:46.:28:52.

Lovely ball from Pepe towards Ronaldo,

:28:53.:28:53.

Well, you have got to compete, but the referee

:28:54.:29:11.

What a chance that was, brilliant ball from Pepe.

:29:12.:29:16.

Almost like the goal for Italy last night, the same movement.

:29:17.:29:20.

Here comes the free kick for that Bjarnason challenge.

:29:21.:29:38.

Halldorsson again with a comfortable take.

:29:39.:29:43.

That has happened two or three times now.

:29:44.:29:53.

Free kick given in his favour this time.

:29:54.:30:21.

Danilo, that is asking rather a lot of Nani.

:30:22.:30:25.

Just that final ball at the moment, Kevin, for Portugal,

:30:26.:31:04.

No, it's not, apart from that ball from Pepe to set up Ronaldo.

:31:05.:31:14.

Great movement from Ronaldo, and he has got to be scoring.

:31:15.:31:22.

Gomes could not make the most of that error.

:31:23.:31:52.

Joao Mario was beaten, but Ricardo Carvalho wasn't.

:31:53.:31:55.

38 now, but brilliantly-timed challenge.

:31:56.:32:36.

Joao Mario, that was a very good ball.

:32:37.:32:38.

It was just a little bit too high for Joao Moutinho.

:32:39.:32:43.

Bodies behind him as well - he knew he had to deal with it.

:32:44.:32:54.

That looked to me like it had gone out of play.

:32:55.:33:08.

You can see the set-up from Iceland every time -

:33:09.:33:12.

allow Portugal to get over the halfway line, then put them

:33:13.:33:17.

under more pressure, going into a rigid 4-4-2.

:33:18.:33:29.

That's good reading for Iceland, 0-0 after half an hour.

:33:30.:34:13.

I still think Gylfi Sigurdsson's chance was every bit as good

:34:14.:34:18.

Switch off for a second and Portugal make you pay.

:34:19.:34:38.

Nani with the goal, Gomes with a pass.

:34:39.:34:45.

A great bonus from Andre Gomes, when he gets in he gets his head up.

:34:46.:35:07.

A brilliant run from Nani near post and it's a simple task at the end

:35:08.:35:12.

But I have to say, it has been coming.

:35:13.:35:18.

They've been a bit slack in possession, Iceland.

:35:19.:35:21.

Sigurdsson had that early chance in the third minute to put the cat

:35:22.:35:53.

amongst the Portuguese pigeons but didn't take it.

:35:54.:35:55.

When you get those big moments, you have to take them.

:35:56.:36:20.

A great ball, Joao Moutinho hasn't always produced with free kicks

:36:21.:36:45.

in wide areas in this game but that was a super ball.

:36:46.:36:48.

Another corner, didn't quite reach Ricardo Carvalho.

:36:49.:37:07.

Got to try and see this spell through at the moment, Iceland.

:37:08.:37:21.

They are struggling and need to get out of their own half.

:37:22.:37:25.

If Portugal get a second in the next couple of minutes, you wouldn't

:37:26.:37:28.

It just has that feel at the moment a third before half-time.

:37:29.:37:33.

that this is an important 10-12 minutes up to half-time for Iceland.

:37:34.:37:36.

with his fingertips rather than his palms, but it stuck.

:37:37.:38:07.

Nani knocked over by Gylfi Sigurdsson.

:38:08.:38:10.

It's interesting, I saw some very good stuff in the paper

:38:11.:38:21.

the long-standing international Icelandic player.

:38:22.:38:32.

He said when he moved to England he was 23, but in mental terms

:38:33.:38:36.

he was still like a teenager because the Icelandic

:38:37.:38:38.

system was so far behind, and that is no longer the case.

:38:39.:39:03.

A lovely turn away from Gylfi Sigurdsson.

:39:04.:39:17.

Joao Mario has gone down for Portugal.

:39:18.:39:18.

Bjarnason here charging forward for Iceland,

:39:19.:39:23.

trying to curl it off the outside of his boot around Pepe.

:39:24.:39:25.

It almost fell for Gudmundsson at the back post.

:39:26.:39:58.

It is a better ball from back to front.

:39:59.:40:09.

Just a little floater, to give them a chance

:40:10.:40:11.

But a vital touch at the far post to deny a good chance for Iceland.

:40:12.:40:18.

A few hoots from behind the goal from the Icelandic fans,

:40:19.:40:25.

thinking they might have a penalty shout.

:40:26.:40:31.

Not a good set play from Iceland again.

:40:32.:40:33.

Aron Gunnarsson to take this for Iceland.

:40:34.:40:46.

The Portuguese right-back said it didn't come off him,

:40:47.:40:58.

but the Turkish referee says, yes it did.

:40:59.:41:00.

Hardly a long throw, but certainly made the most of it.

:41:01.:41:09.

Gylfi Sigurdsson to take this for Iceland.

:41:10.:41:14.

A goal down but on the front foot again now.

:41:15.:41:16.

Now Gudmundsson, caught in possession by Joao Mario,

:41:17.:41:24.

Just taking an opportunity to have a word with Aron Gunnarsson.

:41:25.:42:08.

Pepe has charged forward from the back.

:42:09.:42:16.

Joao Mario for Portugal, back to Nani.

:42:17.:42:21.

Well taken, Halldorsson did well and delivers it quickly.

:42:22.:42:25.

Pepe is not going to get back as quickly as he got

:42:26.:42:28.

Nani seems to have decided to hold the right touchline at the moment.

:42:29.:43:32.

Good ball, Andre Gomes feigning to shoot with his right.

:43:33.:44:02.

Halldorsson would have seen that quite late, Arnason

:44:03.:44:04.

Make it hard to find any space for Portugal.

:44:05.:44:12.

Joao Mario and Danilo for Portugal enjoying

:44:13.:44:28.

Ricardo Carvalho, one of the players, like Cristiano Ronaldo

:44:29.:44:57.

who will have memories of being beaten by underdogs

:44:58.:45:00.

Losing the opening game of Euro 2004 to Greece

:45:01.:45:06.

and then again in the final, on home turf.

:45:07.:45:12.

Wise enough and experienced enough to know

:45:13.:45:14.

not to take anything for granted.

:45:15.:45:28.

They will be happy going in at half-time if it stays

:45:29.:45:30.

a big chance early on, little going forward,

:45:31.:45:36.

but you expect better from them from set plays.

:45:37.:45:39.

They haven't provided any telling balls into the area.

:45:40.:45:44.

Nice jinking run, but blocked in the end, a Portuguese throw.

:45:45.:46:19.

Taken away from Nani by the flying figure of Saevarsson.

:46:20.:46:27.

Got to try and see this spell through,

:46:28.:46:48.

There has to come a time in the game when they will throw bodies forward.

:46:49.:46:54.

Vieirinha, a good ball, but too high for Cristiano Ronaldo,

:46:55.:47:00.

who had Sigurdsson jumping just in front of him.

:47:01.:47:08.

He has picked up a couple of good positions, Cristiano Ronaldo,

:47:09.:47:11.

Just can't quite get it on target again.

:47:12.:47:18.

That was the chance, excellent awareness from Nani,

:47:19.:47:22.

He's going to have a word with Danilo.

:47:23.:48:01.

Who presumably had something to say for himself.

:48:02.:48:07.

Might have a chance here to try and get something right at the end

:48:08.:48:19.

This throw from Aron Gunnarsson will be launched in, I expect.

:48:20.:48:40.

Nani taken out, and the referee has decided that that will do

:48:41.:49:00.

There has been a few of those throughout this first half.

:49:01.:49:15.

Great early chance, though, for Gylfi Sigurdsson,

:49:16.:49:20.

which would have been a dream start for Iceland.

:49:21.:49:26.

But in the end, Nani getting the goal after some

:49:27.:49:28.

At half-time, it is Portugal 1-0 Iceland.

:49:29.:49:58.

10-macro to Portugal and Nani, the goal-scorer.

:49:59.:50:08.

but sometimes the Portuguese, they leave you wanting more.

:50:09.:50:13.

Difficult to play through the Icelandic side, we know that.

:50:14.:50:17.

But I think there is a lot more to come.

:50:18.:50:20.

As the tournament progresses that is when the likes of Ronaldo

:50:21.:50:22.

step up to the plate and put in big performances in big games.

:50:23.:50:25.

It has been a low-key start for them.

:50:26.:50:27.

Portugal from left to right in the second half, no substitutions

:50:28.:50:30.

No yellow cards in the game either, and just the one chance for Iceland,

:50:31.:50:42.

but it was that big one early on the Gylfi Sigurdsson.

:50:43.:50:47.

A chance we have become accustomed to see him take.

:50:48.:50:50.

I think that was the disappointing thing in the first half for Iceland,

:50:51.:50:54.

how disappointing they were from set plays.

:50:55.:50:56.

It might be a set play that gets them into this game,

:50:57.:51:00.

Joao Mario has ghosted forward on the edge of the penalty area.

:51:01.:51:24.

Looking to see where Ronaldo is, there he is.

:51:25.:51:31.

Sigurdsson got in the way, the defensive Sigurdsson,

:51:32.:51:39.

Even on his left foot, comfortable and confident enough

:51:40.:51:52.

Didn't have a lot to talk about at half-time, fairly quiet,

:51:53.:52:05.

But he had a few big moments in the first half,

:52:06.:52:09.

Saevarsson forward for Iceland, towards Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.

:52:10.:52:27.

Guerreiro, a good little run that, it has resulted in a corner.

:52:28.:53:09.

It probably shouldn't have done, Halldorsson was a bit slow to react.

:53:10.:53:12.

He could have freed the wide man up, Guerreiro.

:53:13.:53:18.

That was poor, poor goalkeeping at the end.

:53:19.:53:39.

Not exactly sure what Vieirinha thought he was doing with that.

:53:40.:53:54.

Group F started with a surprise earlier today, with Austria,

:53:55.:53:57.

many people's fancy to maybe overachieve in this tournament,

:53:58.:54:01.

Hungary are Iceland's next opponents.

:54:02.:54:13.

Off the grateful heel of Aron Gunnarsson.

:54:14.:54:29.

He has been impressive, Andre Gomes, looking to get forward.

:54:30.:54:50.

It was a foul, a clear block from Saevarsson.

:54:51.:54:52.

The referee in a really good position there, as well.

:54:53.:55:07.

Bjarnason in the middle, Sigthorsson as well.

:55:08.:55:09.

The cross coming in from Gudmundsson.

:55:10.:55:13.

Terrible defending, Bjarnason with the finish!

:55:14.:55:14.

Absolute bedlam among the Icelandic supporters.

:55:15.:55:38.

Bjarnason comes in well and finishes it.

:55:39.:55:48.

Gets himself in all sorts of trouble, he doesn't need to.

:55:49.:55:56.

First off they missed a big chance, but Bjarnason comes in.

:55:57.:56:02.

Such bad defending from Portugal, really bad goal to concede.

:56:03.:56:09.

But brilliant moment for the Icelandic fans.

:56:10.:56:16.

Into the history books for Bjarnason.

:56:17.:56:20.

Two goals in ten games in qualifying for these finals and has just tucked

:56:21.:56:30.

away their first-ever goal in a tournament final.

:56:31.:56:38.

He will be absolutely pumped after that.

:56:39.:57:00.

He has just won the Swiss title, so he's having a good

:57:01.:57:03.

Gunnarson with this throw, flicked

:57:04.:57:32.

Very little possession for Iceland in this game,

:57:33.:57:58.

not really able to get any momentum going forward.

:57:59.:58:01.

Guerreiro to take this corner kick for the Portuguese,

:58:02.:58:32.

Joao Moutinho wanted to take it quickly, but no one

:58:33.:58:58.

The goal for Iceland has put a bit of extra pace in Portugal's play.

:58:59.:59:11.

As I say that, Carvalho puts it out of play.

:59:12.:59:14.

A bit more urgency from Moutinho, Ronaldo and Nani.

:59:15.:59:19.

Looking for it to be a lot brighter in the final third.

:59:20.:59:26.

Move the ball quickly, try and take the Icelandic players

:59:27.:59:32.

And the first yellow card of the game comes out

:59:33.:59:49.

Could be another yellow card in front of us,

:59:50.:00:08.

More than a touch on the late side.

:00:09.:00:13.

He doesn't need to make the challenge.

:00:14.:00:31.

But allows Iceland to kill the game, set the play up, condense it.

:00:32.:00:42.

Long ball forward, that's how they've played this game.

:00:43.:00:47.

Tempted to do the words from the old song...

:00:48.:01:31.

"Fools to the left of me, jokers to the right,

:01:32.:01:34.

He must feel like that a lot of the time.

:01:35.:01:43.

He is better than a lot of the players around him.

:01:44.:01:47.

But his record over the last seven or eight years at international

:01:48.:01:50.

Aron Gunnarsson, whose brother is an Icelandic handball champion.

:01:51.:01:55.

A nice double for the Gunnarson family.

:01:56.:02:06.

Four flying at the Icelandic penalty area.

:02:07.:02:16.

Andre Gomes to his left hand side, don't think it crossed his mind

:02:17.:02:23.

A lovely break, lovely touch from Ronaldo to set Joao Mario away.

:02:24.:02:29.

Gudmundsson was not mucking about there.

:02:30.:03:20.

Wouldn't be so happy if it finishes 1-1.

:03:21.:03:22.

It is getting a little more physical.

:03:23.:03:31.

A really good ball in the first half played by Guerreiro,

:03:32.:03:48.

Four in the middle for Portugal, everybody back for Iceland.

:03:49.:04:00.

Looking a little penned in at this moment.

:04:01.:04:02.

Very good header clear, defensive header clear by Kari Arnason.

:04:03.:04:10.

A bit of movement ahead of him from Sigthorsson.

:04:11.:04:28.

The full-back Vieirinha has to do better, he has to adjust his body

:04:29.:04:37.

Given away to Gylfi Sigurdsson, just couldn't take it in his stride.

:04:38.:04:47.

The goalkeeper somehow got it around the post.

:04:48.:05:14.

For all their physicality, Iceland, they have not conceded one

:05:15.:06:20.

That obviously would have been one of their priorities.

:06:21.:06:31.

I think they have defended dead balls very well.

:06:32.:06:38.

It is their own quality which has been lacking at times.

:06:39.:06:44.

Pepe, that is going to reach Joao Mario.

:06:45.:07:15.

They have got to have some white shirts up the field at some point,

:07:16.:07:21.

They can't keep just giving it back to Portugal,

:07:22.:07:24.

That is a long time to sit around your penalty area.

:07:25.:07:46.

That ended up in the gloves of the Icelandic goalkeeper.

:07:47.:08:00.

It is a good ball from Vieirinha, slight deflection on it.

:08:01.:08:05.

Has not always been great with his deliveries from wide areas.

:08:06.:08:17.

Nani has made a good run, and that is well

:08:18.:08:34.

That has been taken extremely quickly by Joao Mario.

:08:35.:08:42.

There's urgency from Cristiano Ronaldo, who is looking

:08:43.:08:46.

Fernando Santos, the Portuguese coach,

:08:47.:09:07.

Portugal's quality has let them down at times.

:09:08.:09:21.

Arnason working really hard to get there first.

:09:22.:09:39.

The Portuguese full-back Vieirinha is not having the best of times

:09:40.:09:58.

No, with Cedric Soares sitting on the bench, he will be thinking,

:09:59.:10:03.

Vieirinha with this throw for Portugal.

:10:04.:10:29.

Substitutes warming up all over the place

:10:30.:10:59.

Ronaldo was a little bit on his heels there.

:11:00.:11:18.

The white shirts just struggling to find a way out at the moment.

:11:19.:11:23.

They just cannot keep hold of the ball.

:11:24.:11:26.

As I said at the start, Portugal are not immune to embarrassment.

:11:27.:11:53.

Albania won in Portugal in qualifying.

:11:54.:11:59.

Cape Verde also beat them in a friendly.

:12:00.:12:16.

I do not mean that disrespectfully to Iceland, to suggest it

:12:17.:12:19.

would be embarrassing for them to beat Portugal,

:12:20.:12:22.

because they are a very good side, but it would

:12:23.:12:25.

And Pepe has knocked down Bodvarsson, and I think he knew

:12:26.:12:42.

He has had a little kick out as well, Pepe on the floor.

:12:43.:13:03.

I wonder what Cuneyt Cakir will make of this.

:13:04.:13:05.

It is a foul from Bodvarsson, but just when he goes down...

:13:06.:13:08.

The legs come up and there's absolutely no need for that.

:13:09.:13:29.

Coming on shortly for Portugal will be Renato Sanches.

:13:30.:13:31.

Bayern Munich got in quickly to sign him from Benfica this summer

:13:32.:13:34.

That was easy, really, for Saevarsson.

:13:35.:14:39.

It is following the same pattern, Steve, isn't it?

:14:40.:14:46.

Attack after attack, but just breaking down.

:14:47.:14:56.

Nani - the referee's whistle has gone for the earlier

:14:57.:14:58.

Here is the change, and Moutinho is coming off for Portugal.

:14:59.:15:18.

On comes Renato Sanches, who is joining Bayern Munich

:15:19.:15:20.

from Benfica, costing them ?27 million, rising

:15:21.:15:24.

The youngest Portuguese player ever to be kicked for a major tournament,

:15:25.:15:33.

beating the record set by Cristiano Ronaldo.

:15:34.:15:48.

Six inches wide, I would say - no more than that.

:15:49.:16:17.

Iceland free kick - that's good news for them,

:16:18.:16:24.

just gives them the chance to settle themselves down.

:16:25.:16:50.

Sigthorsson coming back from an of side position.

:16:51.:17:00.

Sigthorsson coming back from an offside position.

:17:01.:17:06.

Gylfi Sigurdsson was very keen to ask the question.

:17:07.:17:34.

Ronaldo - plenty of power, but rising too much.

:17:35.:17:39.

Sigurdsson is still asking the question of the referee.

:17:40.:17:44.

20 years ago, Eidur Gudjohnsen on the Icelandic bench came

:17:45.:18:02.

And the player who went off was his dad.

:18:03.:18:58.

Dangerous leave, right across the face of Patricio's goal.

:18:59.:19:08.

Dangerous, right across the face of Patricio's goal.

:19:09.:19:10.

Really good delivery from the throw and towards Bodvarsson.

:19:11.:19:17.

That is where they will get their chances.

:19:18.:19:34.

Long ball back wins the initial throw in.

:19:35.:19:36.

Renato Sanches with the clearance downfield.

:19:37.:19:57.

Quaresma will be on shortly for Portugal, their second change.

:19:58.:20:06.

Goalkick to Iceland, and Portugal take off Joao Mario.

:20:07.:20:20.

They bring on Ricardo Quaresma, who is 32 now.

:20:21.:20:28.

Left out of the World Cup squad two years later.

:20:29.:20:50.

Went to Euro 2012, but sat on the bench the whole tournament.

:20:51.:20:59.

He has been around a long time but only his third ever appearance

:21:00.:21:02.

Positive substitution, they needed to change things up.

:21:03.:21:05.

Quaresma probably wasn't quite fit to start the game.

:21:06.:21:08.

An unpredictable player, a real talent.

:21:09.:21:09.

A poor header from Pepe, it really was.

:21:10.:21:12.

Towards Bodvarsson, and Pepe makes amends.

:21:13.:21:15.

He knew if he headed it clear, Cristiano Ronaldo was lurking.

:21:16.:21:41.

It is fair to say that I think those in blue are enjoying it

:21:42.:21:44.

rather more than those in red at the moment.

:21:45.:22:02.

It sounds like the Icelandic fans are singing,

:22:03.:22:04.

"Come On You Spurs" but I'm sure they're not!

:22:05.:22:14.

Gomes to his left, Nani in the middle and Ronaldo as well,

:22:15.:22:25.

Came to Gomes rather fortunately.

:22:26.:22:31.

That's what they want to do, Portugal,

:22:32.:22:45.

get Quaresma into the game as quickly as possible.

:22:46.:23:00.

It takes a lot to get them sticking together through those difficult

:23:01.:23:16.

times, to get big results in big tournaments.

:23:17.:23:20.

Iceland are going to make a substitution

:23:21.:23:29.

They are defending first, with this corner kick

:23:30.:23:37.

Halldorsson in the Icelandic goal hasn't had to do anything brilliant

:23:38.:24:20.

to keep Portugal out since they equalised.

:24:21.:24:22.

Good bit of control from Aron Gunnarsson.

:24:23.:24:36.

They can't get out but they are content to sit in, and sit deep.

:24:37.:24:44.

They clear and then get back into shape for the next attack.

:24:45.:24:49.

We might see Iceland make that change now.

:24:50.:24:57.

This was the deflected shot from Quaresma

:24:58.:25:06.

He read it well, the goalkicker part had to get himself into position.

:25:07.:25:27.

Alfred Finnbogason is the man coming on.

:25:28.:25:32.

Finnbogason scored against Arsenal in the Champions League

:25:33.:25:34.

this season when he was on loan from Real Sociedad to Olympiakos.

:25:35.:25:38.

Finished the season on loan in Germany.

:25:39.:25:43.

I'm not saying the referee was going to give it

:25:44.:25:56.

I'm not saying the referee wasn't going to give it

:25:57.:25:59.

When he senses the Portuguese players breaking,

:26:00.:26:04.

just clips the heels or drags the shirt back.

:26:05.:26:19.

First time we've seen the familiar statuesque stance

:26:20.:26:21.

of Cristiano Ronaldo over a free kick.

:26:22.:26:22.

Whipped in and deflected over the top by Gunnarson.

:26:23.:26:25.

One day I'm pretty certain there will be a statue

:26:26.:26:36.

Who knows? There might be one already in Madeira!

:26:37.:26:43.

A better ball, a better delivery from Quaresma.

:26:44.:26:53.

Good movement from Pepe across the near post.

:26:54.:26:55.

Not so sure it would have gone in anyhow, but had to deal with it.

:26:56.:27:15.

The question is, can Iceland keep them out?

:27:16.:27:21.

It is very hard to imagine Iceland scoring again

:27:22.:27:25.

You said it before about Halldorsson in goal -

:27:26.:27:36.

he hasn't had much to do, not tested enough by Portugal.

:27:37.:27:43.

The guys in front of him have been excellent.

:27:44.:27:45.

They have been very well organised, disciplined as well.

:27:46.:28:00.

Again, Aron Gunnarsson with another interception.

:28:01.:28:06.

Not even looking to make passes, just clearances.

:28:07.:28:09.

Keep yourself set up, offer to throw any bodies forward.

:28:10.:28:14.

Swansea's player, Eder, about to come on.

:28:15.:28:19.

He has been on loan to Lyon here in France.

:28:20.:28:27.

Pepe has dealt with Finnbogason and it is a goalkick to Portugal.

:28:28.:28:49.

I think he recognised he made a poor decision,

:28:50.:28:56.

He wanted to get the strike away early.

:28:57.:29:00.

Andre Gomes comes off, Eder comes on.

:29:01.:29:06.

Didn't score in his 15 games for Swansea.

:29:07.:29:09.

Did better when he went on loan,

:29:10.:29:13.

the French club taking up their option.

:29:14.:29:21.

No wonder he is puffing his cheeks out.

:29:22.:30:02.

The best chance of the half, brilliant from Nani.

:30:03.:30:05.

Ronaldo pulling away to get between the right-back

:30:06.:30:07.

Gets a good look at the goal, straight at Halldorsson.

:30:08.:30:19.

You think Ronaldo in that position, so good in the air,

:30:20.:30:22.

I did say a couple of minutes ago that I couldn't see Iceland scoring.

:30:23.:30:58.

They can get two or three bodies around Finnbogason.

:30:59.:31:05.

Straight at Patricio in the end though.

:31:06.:31:17.

Sanches, good feet, really good feet,

:31:18.:31:20.

You have said that a lot, Gunnarson.

:31:21.:31:30.

No problem at all for Halldorsson in the Icelandic goal.

:31:31.:31:59.

This was a chance, good feet from Finnbogason.

:32:00.:32:01.

Lucky in the end, comes straight at him.

:32:02.:32:14.

Had a spell in Holland, Finnbogason, when he scored 53 in 45 games.

:32:15.:32:23.

Had a spell in Holland, Finnbogason, when he scored 53 in 65 games.

:32:24.:32:26.

Sometimes difficult to judge strikers in Dutch football.

:32:27.:32:28.

You don't know if you're getting a Ruud van Nistelrooy

:32:29.:32:30.

There are a lot of goals in Dutch football.

:32:31.:32:47.

If you don't remember Marco, ask a West Ham fan.

:32:48.:32:50.

It's a familiar tale, really, from Portugal in tournaments.

:32:51.:33:04.

Guerreiro may be with a better angle.

:33:05.:33:31.

I was going to say if it would be in.

:33:32.:33:36.

Dealt with any of the threats coming in from wide.

:33:37.:33:53.

130 games at Rotherham, Kari Arnason.

:33:54.:33:55.

Not sure if it prepared him for defending against Ronaldo.

:33:56.:34:07.

Everyone knows he has it in him but a wonderful leap

:34:08.:34:17.

from practically a standing start and caught Halldorsson by surprise.

:34:18.:34:25.

The jump is so good, his head is higher than

:34:26.:34:31.

This is designed to just eat up a few seconds.

:34:32.:34:48.

Played one game for the club in 2007,

:34:49.:35:04.

so if you are a Celtic fan and don't remember him,

:35:05.:35:07.

It is now just a matter of seconds for them to hold out.

:35:08.:35:59.

About 90 seconds of added time to play.

:36:00.:36:40.

That's how close Iceland are to an historic result.

:36:41.:36:59.

In comes the free kick - and out it goes.

:37:00.:37:03.

I think the ball had gone behind first.

:37:04.:37:17.

He has got away with it, the goalkeeper.

:37:18.:37:35.

That is Gylfi Sigurdsson, but he has put it into the path of Nani.

:37:36.:38:13.

Is it a little bit too far out for Ronaldo?

:38:14.:38:22.

Slightly to the right of his earlier one.

:38:23.:38:31.

You know what? If anybody can, he can.

:38:32.:38:40.

The three minutes have been played so that it is now

:38:41.:38:55.

all about Cristiano Ronaldo, Halldorsson and his wall.

:38:56.:39:00.

Another free kick a few yards nearer.

:39:01.:39:08.

This is really a big problem now, because this is Ronaldo country.

:39:09.:39:22.

Is it his moment to light up the tournament?

:39:23.:39:27.

This could be the last kick of the game.

:39:28.:39:55.

The wall did its job again, and the whistle has gone!

:39:56.:39:58.

And Iceland have a point against Portugal.

:39:59.:40:06.

They have put in an enormous shift against a not very inspired

:40:07.:40:09.

And Arnason is the man with his name written large

:40:10.:40:33.

You will each collect a Michelin-starred chef.

:40:34.:41:09.

'En route, each chef will prepare a dish.'

:41:10.:41:13.
