00:00:00to spain in that one david via the score that day let's see what happens in the second half here
00:00:06indeed gabby thank you very much indeed no changes from either coach at halftime portugal
00:00:12get us underway reminder if you're watching any of the world cup matches live or enjoying the
00:00:17highlights on iplayer don't forget you do need a tv license you can scan the qr code now on your
00:00:22screen to buy here's baina immediately looking for ulmo vega away
00:00:36should point out as well it's the fourth of the fifth round of 16 ties to be goalless at
00:00:45half time england mexico of course the exception but we did then see nine second half goals in the
00:00:51other ties you think we're going to see any here or is it still going to be as cagey danny
00:00:58no i think
00:00:58well maybe for a little bit i think the tempo will go up i think spain particularly will start forcing
00:01:04the issue more and more
00:01:15surprisingly spain have only been to one quarterfinal since 2002 and that was 2010
00:01:24when they beat portugal in that game on the way to lifting the trophy
00:01:31cape town
00:01:59that's a spain throw yeah i just felt a minute ago there when he did receive the ball there was
00:02:03some
00:02:04space for him to go on the right he's so
00:02:07left footed he comes in maybe once too often with that pace sometimes just test the fullback get it
00:02:15down that right side whip something with your weaker foot we've seen him do it for chelsea but
00:02:19not seen him do it too much today against this spanish team of course it's difficult
00:02:36you know
00:02:39if there is something to know funny play⇒
00:02:53and it's getting still looking at that's what we gotta take it to it
00:02:53to the hotel today all dressed in ronaldo shirts they're telling me they take a fair amount of
00:03:00dollars shall we say to this game my father said to me to see ronaldo score live is a bucket
00:03:07list
00:03:07moment well we both didn't look enough to do that was actually at the three three and such here of
00:03:13this corresponding fixture where he got that hat trick it was incredible game it's amazing at his
00:03:19age and he's got fans playing top dollar to try and see that now he's waiting patiently for this free
00:03:27kick which eventually is delivered too close to be nice simon by bruno fernandez
00:03:35that was too strong for daina
00:03:53cello
00:03:54yeah he's caught in two minds there i think he's going to unleash one and then he decided to try
00:03:58and do the disguise ding to the back pose wasn't a bad idea nobody on the same wavelength unfortunately
00:04:34for cancello
00:04:35the other you know mendez winning that particular duel
00:04:44brilliant one-on-one defending that
00:04:48ready him on the cutting in on his left he read it mendez really good
00:04:54was there as well ready to help him
00:05:09Cucurayas-Hena.
00:05:19Guayena.
00:05:22Now space for Neto.
00:05:25Now Felix trying to get up with Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes as well.
00:05:29Neto's cross.
00:05:37They just couldn't catch him up.
00:05:42Great counter. Cucurayas had already gone forward, so the space was there for Neto.
00:05:46This time he does go down the right side, because it's Laporte, and he thinks I can beat him for
00:05:49speed,
00:05:49and he puts it into a great area.
00:05:51They just can't catch him up.
00:05:56Over 570 minutes now, since Bunei Simon conceded a World Cup goal.
00:06:05They break that record held by Walter Zenger in the last match against Austria.
00:06:14And that's where the effortless recovery there.
00:06:27Moutinho.
00:06:53Picks up some lovely positions, Omo.
00:06:55There he goes, Jamal, he's got away this time, and that Cancelo is able to clear.
00:07:09It was good from Jamal, wasn't it, one of the first times he's got past Mendes one-on-one,
00:07:13and then I thought Bahina should have been busting a gun to get off that left side and
00:07:18get into that central area, but he didn't.
00:07:21Boya Thabo was the only one in there.
00:07:27Scored, of course, against Saudi Arabia, became the second youngest player to open the scoring
00:07:32in a World Cup match behind Pele back in 1958.
00:07:40Incredible to think that when he started for Spain he still never lost Lamine Jamal.
00:07:44Will that still be intact after this one here in Dallas today?
00:08:05And looking for the free kick.
00:08:15Ronaldo.
00:08:16Ronaldo.
00:08:31Hernandez is grounded here for Portugal.
00:08:36I think it was the recovery run when Jamal went past him.
00:08:41It was after that he signalled he had a problem.
00:08:46Because he's had a really good...
00:08:49What have we played? 55? 60 minutes?
00:08:54Yeah, nearly 55.
00:08:55There, that recovery lunging tackle there, maybe.
00:09:10This will be a concern.
00:09:13Given the man that he is marking.
00:09:21Well, they have an abundance of talent on both benches, but when you look down the list,
00:09:26Diogo Dallo, Semedo could play that side, who's obviously very quick as well, but...
00:09:32Cancelo can as well.
00:09:33Yeah.
00:09:34Matis Nunes of Manchester City is also amongst the substitutes.
00:09:51Looks to be moving okay.
00:10:12That's the end of Nuno Mames' day.
00:10:15And that is a blow for Portugal.
00:10:18Nelson Semedo is coming on, the former Wolves captain.
00:10:25It's the first World Cup.
00:10:28It is a blow.
00:10:30Huge blow.
00:10:30And asking the substitute to come on and go straight over.
00:10:33And Mar, one of the less young players in the world, is a big ask.
00:10:36I thought maybe he'd throw Cancelo over there and let Semedo do the right side.
00:10:43Is that little move in the subplot then?
00:10:47We shall see.
00:10:5432 now.
00:10:55Nelson Semedo playing his football for Fenebasque.
00:10:58Straight away Spain trying to test him, which he's on that header.
00:11:24huge disappointment
00:11:26over PSG fullback
00:11:32yeah get a good round of applause for his performance terrific player
00:11:47it's got a bit bitty the game hasn't it tempos dropped nothing's really
00:11:51happening sure both managed to be thinking about changes what can they do
00:12:02well their last meeting was the Nations League final and that
00:12:08ended all square after 90 and after extra time
00:12:13for Portugal one on penalties
00:12:16well they're offside there
00:12:27the drum is still beating from the European champions
00:12:34the drum is still beating from the European champions
00:12:55left by Oathaba
00:12:56on the turn
00:13:01did well there Ronaldo
00:13:02nice lovely touch and then reliable so he can get his team out
00:13:16Sameda
00:13:37Xau Neres, Xau Felix, did wriggle into some space, looking for Ronaldo.
00:14:15Xau!
00:14:18Xau!
00:14:21Xau!
00:14:21Xau!
00:14:22I'm not sure if he'll be able to get Ronaldo to press how he wants, Big Ange.
00:14:27Good luck with that.
00:14:54Koubasi.
00:15:17Well, we've said that time and time again during this game.
00:15:23He's been so impressed with his willingness to get back there and help.
00:15:33Still only 26, shout Felix, he's been around that long.
00:15:36Not only Chelsea, of course, Milan and Barcelona, but here's Dani Olmo now of Barcelona.
00:15:46He's deflected off Vega who celebrates getting something on it for a corner.
00:15:56Give the ball away, fatal really.
00:16:04If it wasn't for Vega's last gasped deflection, could have been one down.
00:16:11Vaina with it.
00:16:15Juarez.
00:16:18Far as Jamal, and he's got Spain another corner kick.
00:16:21It's one thing you definitely can't do against this Spanish side.
00:16:23Give the ball away in your own half and cause yourselves problems.
00:16:44Malvo and Rodri are close again.
00:16:47Vaina's delivery.
00:16:51One of two excellent goalkeepers on show as well.
00:16:55In commanding form.
00:16:58Yeah, it's nice to see keepers come and catch the ball.
00:17:03Take the pressure off the back players.
00:17:05Give them a breather and let them get out.
00:17:22We're approaching the minute where David Villa scored in 2010.
00:17:26It was goalless for 62 minutes.
00:17:29See if there's any kind of breakthrough from either side.
00:17:33Neto.
00:17:41Olmo was quickly closed down.
00:17:43Olmo was quickly closed down.
00:17:50Carlon Fernandes.
00:17:52By Petri.
00:17:59Done well, Portugal.
00:18:01Seems to have nullified this Spanish attack.
00:18:08Keeping the ball better.
00:18:18Neto.
00:18:22For Correa's clearance.
00:18:24Buenas.
00:18:34Well, come on five minutes.
00:18:35and scores.
00:18:47Give it a quick break.
00:18:47Come on.
00:18:49Come on.
00:18:50Let's go.
00:18:55Samedo.
00:19:08Comfortable for Laporte.
00:19:13Fabulous for Petri.
00:19:20Embarrassment of riches Spain have in that midfield area.
00:19:28Subamandi, Moreno, Gavi and of course Fabian Ruiz all on the bench.
00:19:33It's incredible really, isn't it? Getting most other teams, national teams,
00:19:38probably see one or two of them all in the next 10 or 15 minutes just to mix things up.
00:19:44Yamal.
00:19:45Olmo goes away to his right, he went the other way and he's brought Baina into play.
00:19:50And if numbers forward here, but that wasn't the pass that was required.
00:19:53He's got it back though, Baina.
00:19:55And he's shooting.
00:20:01Couldn't generate the power.
00:20:03Yeah, he was on his weaker side.
00:20:08Didn't get it at all.
00:20:10He's not had the same impact today.
00:20:13As he did against Austria, but it's understandable with the quality of opposition he's up against.
00:20:38Yamal.
00:20:39Can Paro get it across?
00:20:41He can.
00:20:41Nobody there.
00:20:42See it by Cancelo.
00:20:45See that's where Baina's gotta be.
00:20:48Your left winger, your left-sided player has got to be closer to the goal.
00:20:53When the right side gets to the byline.
00:20:56It was a great run from Poro.
00:20:57Because he knew Joe Felix was helping Semedo with Yamal.
00:21:01The space became there.
00:21:25Kibasi for Spain.
00:21:32Now, trying to get between the two that Anthony Taylor tells him to get back to his feet.
00:21:55Here he goes again.
00:21:57Against the same two players.
00:22:01Rodri.
00:22:28Baina drifting into a central area.
00:22:31And Padre goes on ahead of him.
00:22:34Trying to find a way of far ball.
00:22:38He's needling a haystack a little bit.
00:22:40Doing really well, Portugal at the moment.
00:22:43Blocking those spaces.
00:22:44The distances are good between the players.
00:22:47He's borrowed your chain, didn't he?
00:22:49He has.
00:22:49I wonder where it had gone.
00:22:52So that is the second half hydration break.
00:22:56And still the deadlock to be broken here in Dallas.
00:23:04Reminder of the up and coming games.
00:23:06The winner of this match, remember, goes to LA to face the winners of USA Belgium.
00:23:11That is 20 to 1 in the morning on BBC One and iPlayer.
00:23:16Tomorrow from five, Argentina face Egypt.
00:23:20You can listen to that on BBC Sounds.
00:23:22And likewise, tomorrow at nine, also on BBC Sounds, Switzerland against Colombia.
00:23:29While we're having a break for drinks, a good opportunity to tell you, of course, you can scan the QR
00:23:34code on screen now and have your say on BBC Sports player Raider.
00:23:40And in this tight, tense affair, so much at stake.
00:23:48Let's go to Spanish point of view from Cesar Azpilacuero.
00:23:52What are you thinking, Cesar?
00:23:53I believe this start of the second half has been a bit slower.
00:23:58A lot of respect between both teams.
00:24:01They are not putting enough bodies in the box.
00:24:04They had a couple of good crosses, but nothing happened after that.
00:24:09So I expect that the last 20 minutes of the game with the changes in both teams can agitate a
00:24:16little bit the pace of the game.
00:24:19Thank you very much.
00:24:20And, of course, Spain still to concede a goal in this World Cup.
00:24:24And we haven't had one shot on target, Danny, since the 37th minute here.
00:24:30Yeah, I expected more from Spain in the second half just because I feel they've got a little bit more
00:24:36in the final third.
00:24:38But it hasn't happened because of Portugal being so well organised, so disciplined.
00:24:46Experience has come into it, of course.
00:24:48But they are struggling to make any chances themselves.
00:24:51So who's going to be brave enough to go after the game and really take some risks?
00:24:57Who's going to be, which manager is going to make the changes to try and affect the game?
00:25:04How long does he give it?
00:25:09And Roberto Martinez's iPad is in overdrive down there.
00:25:18This previous tournament, of course, with Portugal in the Euros in Germany, got to the quarter-final stage.
00:25:25Very tight centre fair with France. They lost on penalties that day.
00:25:29He looks very animated. I don't know whether he's making some sort of tactical tweak because, as of now, they've
00:25:35been very similar in terms of their style, which is contained.
00:25:41Try and get out when they can. Here we go, yeah.
00:25:44That looks Dallo for like-for-like with Cancelo.
00:25:50Raphael Leal, who was impactful in the last game.
00:25:56And, of course, started the comfortable group win and scored against Uzbekistan.
00:26:04And has replaced Xiao Felix.
00:26:07So Leal and Manchester United's Diogo Dallo are on for Cancelo and Felix.
00:26:18Xiao Felix is being replaced by number 17, Rafael Leal.
00:26:36That's a foul on Jamal.
00:26:51Yep, good decision.
00:27:10Not sure they need three men by the ball for a free kick wide.
00:27:14Two at the most, get either one in the box or edge of the box, get numbers in there.
00:27:21I think they heard you.
00:27:25No surprise here, they've left it two.
00:27:37Yamal, safety first from Costa.
00:27:45Yeah, he's trying to whip it in.
00:27:47A little bit lower than that for someone to head.
00:27:50I don't think he's actually had a shot. Easy for the goalkeeper.
00:27:58Spain's fifth corner.
00:28:01Baina with it.
00:28:04Touched away by Costa.
00:28:29Ferran Torres is going to be Spain's first change imminently.
00:28:36Lamal watching the free kick, Anthony Taylor not interested.
00:29:12Almo.
00:29:13That's the ball.
00:29:14Right, Samedo has got to get back here up against Jamal.
00:29:19He is looking for Baena.
00:29:23Promising situation for Spain.
00:29:25The most promising has been in a while.
00:29:27Excuse me, brilliant play from Almo.
00:29:30Dropped in, got the ball, got it in behind to Jamal.
00:29:32And you expect better there from him.
00:29:34It was an overload.
00:29:36Just didn't get the pass right.
00:29:39Here's Dalla.
00:29:44It's a Spain throw.
00:29:45And that will be the cue for the Spain change, which is going to be Ferran Torres.
00:29:51He's coming off his 62nd cap.
00:29:54And he's going to replace Baena.
00:30:00For the Manchester City man, fresh from 21 Barcelona goals this season.
00:30:12Rafael Leal away from Toro.
00:30:20Vitinha might fancy a go.
00:30:24A minute break for Bruno Fernandes.
00:30:38Man is capable from anywhere, isn't he?
00:30:40I believe we've seen that many, many times.
00:30:42Can't quite get it across the goal, you know.
00:30:46First little glimpse they've had in a while.
00:31:03Last quarter of an hour.
00:31:05When players know one lapse of concentration, one mistake could be the difference.
00:31:09Here he comes with Jamal.
00:31:10And to Alm до.
00:31:13Olsen次郎.
00:31:14At 11 корwis � configuration race post.
00:31:14And to genuinely all感じ their salary.
00:31:30Both of a sudden travellers in the court.
00:31:32That is he 큽�Se that ends.
00:31:35And to Almer.
00:31:46Pedri
00:31:52Who has the key to unlock the door
00:31:56Pedri looking for Torres
00:31:59Always running away from him
00:32:00He's unlucky
00:32:03Vega in the heart of the Portugal defence
00:32:05Been outstanding and what he's done really well
00:32:08He's come out at times and create an extra body
00:32:11So they can't pick it up and turn at them
00:32:13In those little pockets
00:32:19Really good decision made
00:32:20When to stay and when to go in
00:32:21He's been terrific alongside Diaz in the second half
00:32:48Torres on the turn
00:33:00Where Thabo
00:33:01Into Olmo
00:33:03Still Olmo
00:33:04Diaz in full stretch
00:33:05Hugely effective
00:33:09It's a wonderful block
00:33:11Really is great defending again
00:33:13Moves his feet really well
00:33:14And Olmo
00:33:15There's the block
00:33:20All came from a super pass from Rodri
00:33:23Firing through the lines
00:33:24Great pace into somebody's feet
00:33:26Olmo I think he was
00:33:37Good strong touch on that
00:33:41Back in
00:33:42He's done the same again
00:33:43The Porto goalkeeper
00:33:55Torres with the movement
00:33:58Portugal delighted to see that go behind
00:34:00They think there was a use of a hand in there as well
00:34:06We don't see the run from Torres
00:34:07But it was absolutely outstanding
00:34:11Found beautifully by Yamal
00:34:13Again not enough bodies in there
00:34:14When he crosses it
00:34:15There's only one there
00:34:18Kabasi
00:34:18They're looking for the handball
00:34:21I don't see anything
00:34:36Yamal's corner
00:34:38And away only as far as Rodri
00:34:42It's a sparing free kick
00:34:52Francisco Conceição is
00:34:55Down there for Portugal
00:34:58And so too is Bernardo Silva
00:35:01It's another double Roberto Martinez change
00:35:05Two all super talented players
00:35:14It's going to be a landmark cap for Bernardo Silva
00:35:18113 he will be fourth
00:35:21The all-time appearance list for Portugal
00:35:35Yamal
00:35:36Torres
00:35:38To Barcelona team mates trying to link up
00:35:41Yeah it's too predictable
00:35:43Here's Ronaldo at the other end
00:35:46Inside the last 10 minutes of the 90
00:35:48Inside the last 10 minutes of the 90
00:36:02Inside the last 10 minutes of the 90
00:36:05They are
00:36:06To take on Porro
00:36:08It's a real burst from him too
00:36:11Gathered safely in the end by Simon
00:36:15That was nice and positive
00:36:17Good to see
00:36:18Slipped a bit as he tried to get across him
00:36:20But at least he tried to beat his man
00:36:22Because he's got
00:36:23Unbelievable pace and talent
00:36:25The wide man
00:36:28This tie is there to be won
00:36:30It is
00:36:30It is
00:36:46Yamal
00:36:51Like a day's call on that occasion from Moira Fable
00:36:53Yeah it's not up and for him today
00:36:57Bruno Fernandes
00:37:08So here comes
00:37:09Masses Bernardo Silva and Conceição
00:37:16Pedro Nato is the first to make way
00:37:28Of Juventus
00:37:31Vitinha
00:37:35The Champions League
00:37:37Final player of the match
00:37:39For PSG
00:37:41Goes off to an hour
00:37:43Bernardo Silva
00:37:44To win his landmark
00:37:48113th cap
00:37:49Only three people have now played for Portugal
00:37:52More often than the former Manchester City captain
00:38:06He hasn't taken the gamble
00:38:09Of two strikers up there
00:38:10Like he did in the Croatia game
00:38:13You kind of understand why
00:38:20Here come Marino
00:38:22He's going to be introduced
00:38:23Very shortly as well
00:38:26His layout against Porro again
00:38:32Interesting to see with Marino
00:38:34Whether he comes on as a striker
00:38:35Or a more orthodox midfielder
00:38:38Because we know he's capable of both
00:38:52He's coming on with Fabian Ruiz as well
00:39:02Even the quality coming off the bench
00:39:04For these two nations is frightening
00:39:08Still no breakthrough
00:39:09No real sign of one
00:39:11No
00:39:16Second half from discipline
00:39:21So here comes the double Spain change
00:39:27Marino
00:39:28Now Fabian Ruiz
00:39:33Pedri
00:39:35The first to depart
00:39:46Danny Olmo
00:39:47Will be the second
00:39:50I am surprised at the Olmo one
00:39:52He's the one who's been getting in those positions
00:39:55On occasion
00:39:55The one who's been
00:39:57They've been finding through the lines
00:39:59He's done all right
00:39:59We're closed on the rails
00:40:00We're closed on the rails
00:40:01But the only who's been
00:40:02He's under last
00:40:04FORD
00:40:05Let's be replaced by number and number six
00:40:07Next to learn
00:40:11On the way through for him, Jamal.
00:40:18Running like it's the first minute.
00:40:22Oya Thabo.
00:40:29Thavien Ruiz.
00:40:32Reflection. No problem for Kosta.
00:40:38Just watching Jamal in full flight.
00:40:40He just glides, doesn't he, with the ball so quickly but so effortlessly.
00:40:49Pleasure to watch.
00:40:59Match momentum there, you can see.
00:41:02Spain dominating a lot of it.
00:41:03But in this second half, not really threatened.
00:41:08Couple of times going in some good positions but lack of numbers in the box.
00:41:42No, we've had extra time five times already at this World Cup.
00:41:46We're edging closer to the extra period here.
00:41:52Portugal, of course, did have late drama against Croatia.
00:41:56With Gonzalo Ramos.
00:42:00In the 94th minute.
00:42:03Can either side conjure anything similar here?
00:42:21Yamal into Torres.
00:42:23He's got the space to turn.
00:42:31He made another good run, Torres, and he got the turn and he should have either had a shot or
00:42:35tried to cross.
00:42:36And he turned back on himself again, lost that opportunity.
00:42:39Poor ball in the end.
00:42:51Can't say so.
00:42:52Can't say so.
00:42:53Can't say so.
00:43:04Can't say so.
00:43:09Can't say so.
00:43:12Can't say so.
00:43:22Can't say so.
00:43:27Yeah, he comes in a bit late, don't he. He flies into his midriff to Yella.
00:43:49Not exactly regular territory for Portugal, World Cup extra time.
00:43:54Only once have they experienced it.
00:43:58Back in 2006 against England, and we'll leave that story at that.
00:44:10Final minute of the 90 though.
00:44:15La Porte header back.
00:44:21Flag result anyway.
00:44:28Torres.
00:44:57That's...
00:44:58That's...
00:44:58That's...
00:44:58That's...
00:45:01Take some responsibility there, Porro.
00:45:08And then backwards again, late, last minute of the game. Try and go and win it.
00:45:13I'm going to win it. They've got six minutes to stop this time. Here's the chance!
00:45:21Mikel Moreno, off the bench, with the killer goal!
00:45:32The Arsenal man, for the European champions, in the 91st minute.
00:45:45With another late, crucial goal for his country.
00:45:57Quick free kick.
00:46:00He's...
00:46:01He gets on it himself.
00:46:03It's a little...
00:46:05Great little pass, isn't it, from Torres.
00:46:07What a finish for Moreno.
00:46:10We've seen him time and time again score so many crucial goals.
00:46:14But to have the...
00:46:17Initiative to get on the ball quickly after he was fouled.
00:46:19Play it quick.
00:46:20That's what I'm talking about.
00:46:21Go and win it. Go and take a risk.
00:46:23And when he gets in there, you don't expect him to miss, but...
00:46:27Quick...
00:46:28Quick thought.
00:46:29Speed of play.
00:46:29Get your hand on the ball.
00:46:30Get it playing.
00:46:32And all of a sudden, there he is.
00:46:34Which looks like the win.
00:46:35It's a lovely finish.
00:46:36Such an accomplished finish.
00:46:39And that's the advantage of having such a brilliant squad.
00:46:42Bringing players off the bench with the quality he possesses.
00:46:47And the manager, De La Fuente knows so well.
00:46:50They go back years.
00:46:51He was the captain of that Olympic team that De La Fuente coached to gold.
00:46:56You may remember, I was in Stuttgart two years ago.
00:47:00In extra time heading to penalties against Germany.
00:47:03Popped up with that last gas winner.
00:47:09And that is his 11th goal.
00:47:11And who knows just how crucial it could be.
00:47:15In terms of the bigger picture.
00:47:18But it doesn't matter what position he plays.
00:47:20He always gets himself in good areas.
00:47:22But the foul on him then, he quickly got up and he got the game going again.
00:47:25It was so bright from him. Such a smart player.
00:47:30Portugal, of course, scored an added time winner in the last round.
00:47:35Have they just seen one go in against them at the other end?
00:47:42And will there be shades of regret if they do go out to that late goal that they didn't really
00:47:47try a bit harder to win the game?
00:47:57And over half of the six added minutes remaining for an equalising punch from Portugal.
00:48:04Well, they've lost possession there.
00:48:06Here goes Jamal.
00:48:08Viga knows what's coming next.
00:48:10Viga knows what's coming next.
00:48:18Great scale, isn't it?
00:48:25Obvious yellow for Vega, who's done well, I have to say, played well today
00:48:29Spain also on the verge of becoming the first team in World Cup history
00:48:33To keep six consecutive clean sheets
00:48:37They've never looked in too much trouble, to be honest
00:48:43Yes, creatively in the second half, they've not been at it
00:48:46But never really been out of control in this game
00:48:49And Portugal have just tried to contain
00:48:56Marino's first goal for club or country
00:48:59Since January, is the difference
00:49:03Rodri's header away
00:49:10Conceição
00:49:17Porro stretching, it's come through to Rafael Leal
00:49:21All or nothing time here for Portugal
00:49:25Semedo
00:49:32Diaz
00:49:36Rafael Leal's cross
00:49:41Cushion header from Koubacic
00:49:42It was for a young lad, he could have slashed at it or lashed at it, sorry, with his right
00:49:47foot, could have gone anywhere
00:49:51You see the mindset change now they're one down and they've got people
00:49:56Higher up the pitch, moving the ball with more urgency, they could have been doing that 15-20 minutes ago,
00:50:00try and go and win the game
00:50:07They've been on the pitch for less than five and a half minutes, what an inspired substitution
00:50:12From Delafuente, Mikel Moreno
00:50:16I think he's such an underrated player, honestly, really did
00:50:22And that's out on the full
00:50:28And they look shell-shocked Portugal
00:50:33It's also great to see a quick free kick
00:50:35Instead of set up, everyone up
00:50:39Get your big men in the box
00:50:41Initiative, bright, sharp, intelligent
00:50:44Everything you want
00:50:45In a footballer
00:50:52Well, let's just see a Portugal goal
00:50:54It's the last receiver now
00:50:56They were in a World Cup as well
00:50:57He's waiting in the penalty area here to see if this comes in
00:51:00He does now, right across to Conceição
00:51:09Who's got it in
00:51:16Bernardo Silva
00:51:18Trying to apply
00:51:20Achille in touch and he's
00:51:22Big this
00:51:23Discussion with his former teammate, Rodri there
00:51:26That's a row
00:51:29He's not happy with him for some reason
00:51:31He gets in
00:51:32And gets above him
00:51:34I think he should score
00:51:35He does brilliantly to get
00:51:38In there in the first place
00:51:40And he needs a little nick
00:51:43And then Rodri said something to him when he was on the floor
00:51:46And Rodri was not happy
00:51:48And Rodri wasn't happy
00:51:49What an opportunity that is
00:51:50In the last seconds of the game
00:51:55The glaciers of Celta Vigo
00:51:57To make the briefest of appearances in place of
00:52:00No
00:52:01Well, it's terrible
00:52:01We have a substitution for his baby
00:52:03Number twenty-one
00:52:21Portugal throw, Anthony Taylor has checked his watch once.
00:52:33Bernardo Silva.
00:52:47He's looking for Leal but Lomel's in the way.
00:52:50There's another check of the watch from Anthony Taylor.
00:52:53This has to go forward from Portugal.
00:53:03Oh, free kick to Portugal for the foul on Conceição.
00:53:09He's played the eight minutes instead of the six as well.
00:53:13They're asking him why.
00:53:17Silly, wasn't it, from Torres?
00:53:19Yellow card as well.
00:53:23Well, this will be the last roll of the Portuguese dice.
00:53:31There go Costa forward.
00:53:33Every substitute down below is standing up off the bench.
00:53:40Something has to happen here for Portugal.
00:53:46In from Bruno Fernandes.
00:53:48Right across the face.
00:53:52Charles Neves threw himself at it.
00:53:54It's the last action.
00:53:55They left it late.
00:53:57But it is the European champions who march on.
00:54:01From these two old foes.
00:54:07And it was Arsenal's Mikel Moreno, who'd only been on less than five and a half minutes,
00:54:13who scored seven seconds into stoppage time to give Spain the 1-0 win,
00:54:20just as they did over Portugal the year they won the World Cup.
00:54:26This one has got them into the quarterfinals in Los Angeles on Friday
00:54:31against either America or Belgium.
00:54:36Ronaldo's World Cup road is run.
00:54:38His last dance is done.
00:54:39And it is Spain who march on into the last eight.
00:54:44Winning here by a goal to nil.
00:54:46Congratulations to Spain.
00:54:49Thank you very much, Steve and Danny.
00:54:52And I think probably you at home, like us in here,
00:54:54having been up till the very, very early hours of this morning,
00:54:58we're hoping for something in that second half
00:54:59that might have just sprung your energy levels to life.
00:55:02Because it was one really for the purists to sit through, wasn't it?
00:55:05It wasn't the most scintillating half, Wayne, but Spain got the job done.
00:55:09No, it wasn't.
00:55:10And after last night, I've been doing everything I can to keep myself going.
00:55:15To be honest, the game didn't really help.
00:55:17It wasn't a great game.
00:55:19I think you've got two teams with very tactical players.
00:55:22I think the right team won.
00:55:23I think Spain were the better team.
00:55:25But, yeah, it wasn't a classic, but that won't bother Spain
00:55:29if they're through to the quarterfinals.
00:55:31And they look forward.
00:55:32And, unfortunately, for Portugal, it's the end of the road.
00:55:35So, Zach, congratulations.
00:55:37Spain go marching on.
00:55:39What did you learn today from Spain, do you think, in this tournament?
00:55:42We said pre-match that they were moving through the gears.
00:55:45Did they kind of get a bit clunky today?
00:55:46I don't think they speed up.
00:55:48And they did better than the last game against Austria.
00:55:51But they got the job done.
00:55:53They were facing a very good team in Portugal.
00:55:56They competed.
00:55:57Maybe they were not as clinical as they were before with the ball.
00:56:01So, they were losing some dangerous balls in their own half.
00:56:06But the last action is top quality and a great finish.
00:56:10And the camera, of course, inevitably keeps panning to Cristiano Ronaldo, Ellen,
00:56:15because this is almost certainly his last major tournament for Portugal.
00:56:20Potentially his last match in a Portugal show.
00:56:24Yeah, and you've got to feel the emotion for him.
00:56:28And, you know, what he has achieved and what he's done for Portugal.
00:56:32You know, could he be back another four years at 4.45?
00:56:35You never know.
00:56:36But I think, you know, it is potentially his last one.
00:56:39You can see probably the emotion and the disappointment in his face.
00:56:42But, you know, they just didn't do enough on the evening in the game.
00:56:47He didn't get enough opportunities.
00:56:50Maybe, you know, questions of whether Ramos should have maybe come on,
00:56:54made a huge difference in the previous game, scored the winner.
00:56:57But credit to Spain, beautiful ball by Torres and Marina.
00:57:0211 goals in 26 World Cup appearances.
00:57:04The only player, male player, to score in six World Cup swing.
00:57:10Yeah, and all this, and he's an absolute genius, superstar.
00:57:13What he's given to football, and, of course, he's still playing out entirely,
00:57:19but at this level, what he's given to millions of people is very rare
00:57:27and something, you know, you won't see very often.
00:57:30And, yeah, he'll be very disappointed because he will believe he could go into this World Cup with Portugal and
00:57:37win it.
00:57:37And, as I said earlier, unfortunately, time gets us all.
00:57:41And, yeah, I wouldn't put him past him playing a game for Portugal because he's got that mentality.
00:57:47But, yeah, no, it's...
00:57:49Well, I guess Portugal will have a new boss coming in.
00:57:52We don't know who that is yet.
00:57:53Roberto Martinez has said he's moving on at the end of this tournament.
00:57:55This is the end of his tournament.
00:57:58He might have some regrets.
00:58:00Yeah, I think he will.
00:58:01I think, as we...
00:58:02I said it before the game, you know, I think Portugal actually played OK today.
00:58:07They contained Spain.
00:58:08I think they were lacking a bit of energy and movement to a front.
00:58:11And, I think for Portugal, now it's a chance for them to maybe blossom beyond the Ronaldo years
00:58:18because they have got some really good players, some good young players,
00:58:21some good senior players as well in there.
00:58:23So, yeah, I think they'll see it as a new start.
00:58:28Yeah, and Cesar, you can see the emotion there on his face.
00:58:31And, you know, this is the Iberian derby.
00:58:34There will be no time for emotion for him from those Spain players tonight, though.
00:58:38Yeah, Spain players, they are really happy to win in the last minute of the game.
00:58:44Yeah, it's true that it's never easy to get knocked out in a World Cup game
00:58:49and in the situation that Ronaldo is at the moment, yeah,
00:58:53I believe that for a player like him and the ambition he has, he must be disappointed
00:58:59because we all know how his ambition and his determination to do a better tournament with his country.
00:59:09Have we seen in Spain, do you think, a team who can challenge the best in this tournament?
00:59:13I think potentially.
00:59:15They have unbelievable players.
00:59:17We've seen them grow and get better each game.
00:59:20Probably not at the highest quality of this game in particular, but you've got to get over the line.
00:59:26It's about winning.
00:59:26It's about scoring goals at the end of the day.
00:59:28And for them, they're in the quarterfinal.
00:59:31And I think when it all comes to that fluidity, that connection, that togetherness,
00:59:37they seem to be just flowing so well.
00:59:40And they've got great subs that come on and make a huge difference and impact.
00:59:43But, yeah, for someone like Ronaldo, you see him there, just the disappointment there of walking so,
00:59:51so you just see him so sad and the emotion, yeah, and what he's given.
00:59:55I think he absolutely lives and has dedicated his whole life to football
01:00:00and he loves it so much.
01:00:03And he's got a mentality which I've never seen before in any football player.
01:00:10In what way?
01:00:11I mean, you're obviously a very close teammate.
01:00:13So give us a little insight into how different he is.
01:00:16Because at that level that you were playing, you'd imagine everybody has that.
01:00:20I think when you play at the top level, you have a certain mentality to play at the top level.
01:00:25And it goes beyond that in terms of how we want to play.
