00:00The opportunity for coach Roberto Martinez to mix a match and that's what he's done. Ronaldo though still leads the team.
00:07The debutants Georgia, the dream of reaching the knockout stages is far from extinguished.
00:13A point against Czechia last time out keeps them in the hunt but it's left them looking for an upset here
00:19because for the underdogs only victory this evening will do.
00:23Otherwise their first ever major tournament adventure will come to an end.
00:31Portugal have now changed string, kicking from right to left in the first half.
00:36Guinness underway on Gonçalo Guinasso.
00:39Possession for Portugal, Antonio Silva.
00:45The defender gives it away and leaves the door ajar at the back.
00:50Georgia attack in and it's Panarskaia.
00:53Fast chance and he came. Fast goal and he came.
00:56Sensational start for Georgia.
01:02What a noise. What a moment.
01:04Georgia's dreams of reaching the knockout stages are alive early in Gelsenkirchen.
01:11Wow. What a start to the game.
01:14Portugal found themselves comfortable. They pushed players on the goal.
01:17Previous two games, as soon as they win it back, they've got the pace.
01:23You know, they're so positive.
01:26The captain said to Somwell and he hasn't really shot yet and that is his moment.
01:34Brilliant finish. Panarskaia has announced himself on the Euros.
01:39Everybody knows about him in the Champions League but this is his stage now.
01:44The man known in Naples as Claridona makes his mark on this big stage.
01:50Will he send your side ahead?
01:57Cristiano Ronaldo, I was going to tell the referee where he needs the ball.
02:00He just does not lose any of his motivation which is incredible to say.
02:05The career that he's had and how good he's been.
02:10So it's Cristiano Ronaldo here for Portugal.
02:13It was a super free kick as well.
02:18I think he's going to get this on target but look how it went there.
02:22I think Panarskaia actually made that look like it was an easy stop.
02:28One preferred position of the defensive midfield player.
02:35Fenix. Here's Kalinia.
02:44Now Pedroneta.
02:46Dangerous looking ball. An important hand.
02:50And into the side netting of the boot of Gonçalves.
02:58That's a well-worked set-piece routine.
03:01Just clipping it off at the far post.
03:03He's really got something on him.
03:07So careful with keeping the ball down there.
03:10Francisco Gonçalves.
03:14The other card for Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:16Plaining to the referee about a decision that he hasn't got.
03:22But he quite clearly...
03:24Francisco Gonçalves.
03:28Has to play. He's got really solid defending.
03:31Mascherari in there. Decent shot.
03:34Not far away.
03:37Pedroneta, isn't it? From Portugal.
03:40Needs to get here again. On the wide post.
03:43What a happy to front-knock.
03:45It's great defending by Capetazzo in the end but forced to Fenix.
03:49That's not far away.
03:52He's just having a good seam here, the left fly.
03:56Pedroneta thought that he'd got a throw in there but the determination of Capetazzo kept him alive.
04:04Periskelia!
04:08They were desperate to get the ball to him there in time.
04:11Absolutely full of confidence.
04:13This is a problem when you play a winger to defenders, wing-back.
04:16Pedroneta has not really got that sort of attitude to the defence first.
04:21But Periskelia.
04:28Pedroneta.
04:34Sharp pass.
04:36Sharp Alinea. Ronaldo!
04:38Super block.
04:40Lovely little touch.
04:53Referee has given a yellow card for simulation to Pedroneta.
04:58Who was expecting a free kick but gets exactly the opposite.
05:01You know what, I actually agree with the referee.
05:04I think my first initial reaction there was he went down with a little bit too much show there.
05:11I think if he'd gone down normally he would have probably got...
05:14You see he jumped.
05:16Not time very much up there, Rasmus.
05:18We're going to add it to time.
05:19I think we've got two additional minutes here for the Old Schalke Arena.
05:27Fenix.
05:28He's going to have a go himself.
05:31Let's go.
05:38To that near post area.
05:40Ronaldo!
05:42Just over the top of the crossbar.
05:44It looked to be covered by...
05:46He thought he might have got his goal.
05:48Yeah, I mean it just fell really kindly for him.
05:51Again, Georgia prepared to throw absolutely all the bodies at it.
05:56That was absolutely there.
05:58Ronaldo just making sure that he went over the top.
06:06In the great corner but it almost found its way through.
06:10Fenix drew the delivery.
06:12Yeah, actually causing real problems.
06:14What Georgia are not doing for these set pieces.
06:16They're not getting first contact on the ball.
06:27Baccarati.
06:28Ooh, there was a chance there suddenly from nothing for Quaratschelia.
06:33I'll tell you what.
06:35Here's Mikhail Tadze.
06:40Danilo misses it.
06:41And again, almost an opportunity.
06:44The attack's still on here.
06:46It doesn't reach Quaratschelia.
06:50And Portugal in their desperation to get back in the match.
06:54Leaving gaps.
06:57Georgia's players want something from the referee there.
07:03Diogo Dalot looks for an opening.
07:07Great save once again by Mamadashvili.
07:11They're all appealing for a penalty.
07:13There is a penalty check.
07:15This was the shot at the other end.
07:16There's the save.
07:17I'll tell you what.
07:18He is incredible.
07:19Incredible.
07:22Referee has been asked to go and have a look.
07:25Georgian fans are trying to contain their excitement at the possibilities here.
07:30And they give him another chance.
07:32As soon as you see it like that, you just know that it's impeded him.
07:35He's got to touch first.
07:36He's got nowhere near.
07:39Well, he's missed the ball and cut his leg, hasn't he?
07:41Absolutely.
07:42He's got to be giving this to the referee.
07:45This would be incredible.
07:46Incredible.
07:48Just looking for a couple.
07:50Just looking for a couple.
07:52Yeah.
07:54It's a penalty.
07:55And it's a golden chance for Georgia to double their lead.
08:00Mikhail Tadze.
08:06Oh, he's taken it.
08:10Mr. Goal Again Man strikes again.
08:13George Mikhail Tadze.
08:16And now they really do start to believe they could be on the verge of something truly special.
08:34Georgia incredibly and probably lead Portugal by two goals to nil.
08:41If they win this match, they're into the round of 16.
08:45Wow.
08:46The atmosphere in here is incredible.
08:48And absolute nerves of steel here.
08:50Mikhail Tadze, he went that way.
08:53The goalkeeper Costa, he gets the right way.
08:56And in the end, he just sneaked it underneath him.
08:59Great penalty.
09:00Under pressure there.
09:01He knows what it means to his country.
09:05Don't go anywhere.
09:09It's going to be quite salty.
09:11They scored a hat-trick in the game.
09:14They're going to get involved here.
09:15All hands on deck suddenly.
09:17And so I can't say so.
09:19Sanjay wrestling over the top of the bar.
09:22Collected by Mikhail Tadze.
09:24Lovely little lay-off.
09:25Now a chance of a break.
09:27Chadward Tadze.
09:30Bearing down on goal.
09:32Goodness me.
09:33That was lashed towards the goal.
09:36Getting through to the knockout rounds is incredible.
09:38They would be more than glad to play anyone, anywhere.
09:40If they could just win this match.
09:42Historic night.
09:43What a ball there from Mikhail Tadze.
09:46Oh, that was a chance there.
09:47Albeit.
09:49Of an incredible moment here.
09:52As Portugal continue to put the pressure on.
09:56Here's Ponce Sau.
09:58And it still won't go in.
10:00It's not going to happen for Portugal's players tonight.
10:03Not score.
10:04If they can't score that one.
10:06That's as close as they've got.
10:07Nobody can get a touch on.
10:09Cannot believe it.
10:10Jostar I think was the closest.
10:11Trying to flick through the legs.
10:1690 seconds to go.
10:20But this is the real stuff.
10:22This is the big stage.
10:24This is when it really matters.
10:26This is a match with consequences.
10:28This is a match and a result.
10:30And this is another superb save.
10:32From Mamadas Vili.
10:34And this combination is going to help to the knockout stages of this Euro.
10:39Georgia survive the latest barrage from Portugal.
10:43All eyes on the referee.
10:44There goes the whistle.
10:47An historic night.
10:50Take a bow.
10:52Everyone out there from Georgia.
10:57Tournament football.
10:59Occasionally throws up something special like this.
11:05Portugal aren't happy.
11:06Of course they're not.
11:07But they've won the group anyway.
11:08But it means the world and more to those players from Georgia.
11:13And those spectators.
11:15This is their first time ever at a major tournament.
11:21Unheralded.
11:22Unfancied.
11:23The lowest ranked team here in Germany.
11:26And they have risen.
11:28And tonight they have conquered Portugal.
