00:00try and make things up, be positive, be bright, be sharp
00:05Jacques Ancelo is going to be replaced by Nelson Samedo, that's a
00:09straight positional swap, Bruno Fernandes is
00:12coming off, Francisco Conceicao, the 21 year old son of
00:16now former Porto boss Sergio Conceicao
00:19is coming on as he did against the Czech Republic in the group when he scored
00:25surprised at that one a little bit, Bruno
00:30Fernandes. They took off, if I recall, Vitinha, Bruno Fernandes dropped back and
00:38Diogo Jota played in that role where Francisco Conceicao is now
00:56Ruben Diaz
01:00he's really isolated at times, Ronaldo, the wide men are both really wide, so that means you've got to get people close to him from midfield and
01:14it's not happened very often for Portugal, they've had good spells, a couple of decent chances, but more often than not, Ronaldo is very isolated up there
01:22Conceicao for Nelson Samedo, put behind, for a Portuguese corner
01:43Conceicao
01:47good feet, Camavinga turning into trouble
01:53Conceicao would have won that comfortably if he hadn't slipped, he caught Teo Hernandez, play is going on here, Bernardo Silva, Francisco Conceicao in a collision with Saliba
02:06and it's a yellow card for Saliba and it's a free kick for Portugal, France are not at all happy that they weren't awarded a free kick
02:18for what they felt was a foul on Teo Hernandez, well it wasn't, it was a perfectly fair tackle, Teo Hernandez, very dramatic at the best of times, he's always rolling around and screaming
02:31he was right to let that go
02:33there's his dad Sergio Conceicao, a long time manager of Porto who quit at the end of the season
02:55poor ball
02:58again
03:01Ruben Diaz
03:04Bernardo Silva neatly into Francisco Conceicao, bent on to the chest of Koundé but it bounced off that chest to Nuno Mendes, Rafa Leal
03:19Nelson Samedo
03:24Francisco Conceicao, Saliba, but even then when he crossed it Ronaldo was the only man in the box
03:32Conceicao worked it well, it's like still patient, still don't want to take too many risks
03:43here's Francisco Conceicao, Nelson Samedo, Saliba, Bernardo Silva, great block by William Saliba
03:53incredible block, three additional minutes which were indicated have elapsed, Ruben Neves
04:00trying to pick out Francisco Conceicao, lovely first touch
04:11and finding a bit of room maybe Teo Hernandez cut off that route
04:16and there we go, Michael Oliver blows his whistle, they are inseparable
04:30this is going to be interesting to see what happens now but Portugal have been the team
04:33that have controlled and look they look so much more in control
04:38it's on a knife edge, first period of extra time underway
04:46Kylian Mbappé
04:50oh super feat, Nelson Samedo did well
04:55did really well, provided his time for a little nibble, he had good back with Conceicao there as well
05:09because it does seem ridiculous at times but he keeps them on when he's having no impact
05:16here is Francisco Conceicao, Vitinha
05:26he kind of must be thinking what was he brought here for
05:34well a few minutes against Georgia so far
05:38he's getting frustrated because they're not looking for him enough to be fair to him
05:41here's Bernardo Silva
05:43Francisco Conceicao, beautifully away from Teo Hernandez, Ronaldo!
05:56great play, good skill, first little bit we've seen from Conceicao, it's a great pullback
06:06and you only expect one outcome with the great man
06:08you expect the net to be bulging
06:38Portuguese throw, won by Nelson Samedo
07:02Francisco Conceicao, lovely dipping ball headed away by Koundé, yeah it's a great ball
07:09Francisco Conceicao!
07:48Francisco Conceicao, Nelson Samedo. There are four or five in the box now for Portul
07:55and that's going to come to Raphael! What a block!
08:05Bernardo Silva now dancing. Francisco Conceicao.
08:08Ruben Diaz for Pepe.
08:26This can be a Portuguese throw-in.
08:28To the backdrop of a constant Portuguese noise. Nuno Mendes gets forward, spins it
08:39away to Francisco Conceicao. Oh, he's heading over.
08:49Did really well actually Mendes, especially at this stage of the game to show that burst of
08:53pace and drive forward. Conceicao didn't really have too much conviction in that shot. A bit scoopy.
09:12And the referee blows his whistle. You've got to just pat him on the back and say,
09:17you know what, sorry, thanks for that. You've done me there, you've just done me.
09:20Except for the finish. Portuguese fans are still believing. Roberto Martinez will still be
09:26believing. Didier Deschamps has been there many times before. He's again with his mask and he's
09:32putting ice on there. So it's not confirmed that he's coming off but it certainly appears
09:37that way, doesn't it? He won't be coming off. 15 minutes for the semi-final
09:44or it will be decided from the penalty spot.
09:50This is Koundé's header, falls to Ronaldo. Vitinha to Ruben Dias, little lay-up by Bernardo Silva.
09:59Ruben Neves then to Francisco Conceicao. This is nice from Portugal. Conceicao and around the back, side netting.
10:08It's the side netting from João Felix who's only been on the pitch for two and a half minutes.
10:18Had to hit the target from where he was.
10:22Here's the cross, he's coming in, no one around him. Oh, that's poor.
10:26Oh.
10:30Chiumeni, away to Hernández, Barcola, Turam.
10:41It's unlucky, it's a lovely little swivel.
10:45Mateo Hernández with the forward ball, Nelson Samedo's header. That's come to Barcola.
10:52Francisco Conceicao, he's still got bags of energy and he pings it up to Cristiano Ronaldo.
10:59Tight whether he was on or off. Ronaldo closed off by Teo Hernández.
11:12It's tight, might just be on. Good recovery, wasn't it, from Hernández? It really was.
11:17Missed much of the World Cup because of injury. He's looked very, very good in this tournament.
11:27Canta did well to pick up Barcola.
11:35Penalty shootouts have not been kind to France recently, Qatar obviously as well.
11:40Here's Francisco Conceicao.
11:41Francisco Conceicao, Rupert Neves.
11:58Oh, given away by Angolo Conte, straight to Francisco Conceicao, trying to get through
12:04Teo Hernández and has got a corner.
12:08Careless from Angolo Conte. Yeah, unlike him.
12:13Yeah, leaves the coach open to criticism. Doesn't England suffer from that? Of course,
12:17it's silly but if a player hasn't touched the ball, his first touch is to take a penalty
12:21and a shootout. Teo Hernández has seen a gap though. Teo Hernández for France.
12:26Well, Sofana tried a little backheel to look for Dembele and it's cleared away to Ronaldo.
12:33It was the right ball. It was the right option to try it.
12:37Oh, feet from Nuno Méndez. Look at the space to his right-hand side.
12:41It's Bernardo Silva for Portugal. Bernardo Silva. Oh, Mania makes the save. Nuno Mendes straight
12:49into the clubs of the French goalkeeper and Portugal could have won it there.
12:56What brilliant play from Méndez in the first place.
12:59Sofana, Turam, Turam.
13:06Great defending. Semedo that time, end-to-end in the last minute.
13:10That's it, Dani, it's going to be a penalty shootout.
13:15Michael Oliver blows his whistle.
13:19Chances at either end, right at the end of 120 minutes.
13:25No one could finish it off. This will be decided from the penalty spot, nil-nil.
