00:05welcome along thank you for joining us at this remarkable stadium in Dallas USA coming up later
00:13the Iberian rivals clashing here thousands of miles from home under the roof in this
00:20fabulous stadium at this World Cup the first meeting of two teams ranked in the top five
00:28by FIFA both with live chances of lifting the trophy itself Bastian Dankoff is the man this afternoon
00:37it was a 3-3 draw in a group game in 2018 that was a thriller and it was a
00:43brilliant game last
00:44year that nation's league final which portals athletically he can handle it he's all you
00:50about here in great form tries his luck early on and why not Portugal caught out with possession I
01:00mean him out there's a run across the face of goal hello wants to hit it why not whistles over
01:09the bar
01:09not really close would my lap port a tree oh my eyes beautiful football here from Spain and
01:20doesn't take the chance this time the football there was glorious the finish wasn't important work
01:30there is Cristiano Ronaldo thought about the job in me for Cristiano Ronaldo the angle was difficult
01:38got a decent effort away Mike
01:47Mimini Maal renews that battle with 2006 and going back in the midst of time as Muno Mendes
01:57Rodri with a beautiful ball here's Yamal on that left foot of his needed beating away by Aina oh what
02:06a brilliant save
02:07brilliant save from Diogo Costa
02:14this is what I alluded to early on
02:20Yamal Pedro Pardo good defending quick recovery speed the first is that Cristiano Ronaldo
02:28is just standing on quite spectacular ones as well oh that's nearly in for Koubassu who's in an offside
02:35position when it's played back in anyway flag does go up again there's that ability yeah so I think it
02:43would have got it would have got ruled out academic now it's an interesting one for sure Ronaldo
02:57Yamal Omo got into a great position again
03:02Lamine Yamal went for that gap they know he wants to work it onto his left foot and that time
03:07they stopped
03:08him doing it a lot of defenders can't that's a good release ball though to Vitinha
03:17hold up roll here he is now
03:24Netto's cross it's good looking ball Felix played it in and flip towards goal by Cristiano Ronaldo but grabbed
03:32by
03:34Unai Simon who remains unbeaten and at the moment unbeatable Felix is hurt
03:42well theatrics all over the place Jean Felix does a great
03:46he wants it back again it's on his left foot as well he can let go here he does it's
03:50the underside of the bar deflection on it as
03:53well
03:53wow that is an escape for the Spaniards
03:59almost run it back and then Pedro Pardo then Yamal with a brilliant piece of work he's so evasive how
04:05about that an argument not a little local argument he's on the world stage
04:10Yamal again going down looking up well not even hopeless Cristiano Ronaldo
04:26Yamal Nuno Mendez with the way
04:29Rodri
04:32doesn't score many
04:34six minutes out of time
04:36left of this first half
04:38João Nervéz towards Cristiano Ronaldo
04:41made Spain even harder to play against Pedro Pardo with a lovely ball
04:44Lamina ball
04:46good defending
04:48flag up anyway
04:54flag was up in but really good timing and connection between Pedro Pardo and Lamina
04:58Amal you can tell he's a yard-offs before penalties by the way Diogo Costa the Portuguese
05:03goalkeeper he's got a bit of a reputation of being a penalty-saving specialist
05:12it's Neto with the right kind of ball no it isn't quite
05:16he threw for him as it is his Cristiano Ronaldo on the ball
05:30it feels you're giving to the bench there well I just saw someone run over to the bench and take
05:34their bib off so it looks like he's going to be
05:37substitute nice turn good idea Ronaldo can he get there tried to hook it goal
05:42forwards he was on the stretch again
05:48here's for the second time will you take him on this time
05:54Felix is doing a really good job in supporting
05:56so Spain
05:58picking him apart and then Petri
06:03took a deflection will be a corner
06:06because of an injury Portugal do not get that away
06:10by Cancelo not far enough and then behind there again
06:17Felix is doing
06:19Francis where Felix has got the job Pedro Paro
06:24Yamal against Semedo
06:27play on when he's in the mood which is not always
06:32nice so
06:33very interesting to watch that
06:36I mean you know this time Anthony Taylor does give the free kick
06:41he knows he's a mining it's much easier when you know there's just one player hitting it
06:45you can react accordingly
06:47it is Laminya Ma
06:49he's gone for goal it's a routine save really for Diogo Costa taking no chances
06:58Olmo gets the ball in behind
07:02Laminya Ma
07:03oh no it's not the blame
07:05player
07:07a beautiful half ball and then Fernandez lashes run into the side netting
07:12he's the kind of player who could pull that kind of chance out of the back
07:16it does well
07:18tries to work with Leo but that hasn't worked Laminya Ma
07:21Danny Olmo
07:23it's why I keep talking about him
07:26his Torres
07:29because looking for the reverse ball Danny Olmo difficult angle
07:33it's a brilliant thought
07:36by Ruben Dias
07:38another Spain corner
07:40taken by Yamal
07:41goalkeeper
07:43he's coming back in again
07:46yeah double bank marking even Cristiano Ronaldo
07:49Torres here cuts it back cross the face of goal and again not a white shirt to put it in
07:57Martinez
07:58Laminya Ma again
08:01Torres tries to play Cristiano Ronaldo
08:07and it looks like Mikel Marino also preparing to come on now for Danny Olmo
08:20Yamal for Spain
08:22strong isn't he
08:24possession squandered Merino who is a scorer of big goals in his career I wonder whether he might have a
08:32part to play
08:36both teams
08:37both teams know anything that happens this late could be decisive
08:39La Porte
08:41Rodri
08:43free kick
08:47slightly unnecessarily given away
08:52lovely ball through
08:54and there it is
08:58Spain
08:59Mikel Miquel Marino
09:02score out of big goals
09:03looks like he's settled this one
09:09a goal
09:10to break the heart of Cristiano Ronaldo
09:15and the hearts of all the Portuguese fans
09:17Spain look like they've settled this late
09:22well the early one-time pass from Rodri
09:28in between the lines here
09:30you see Ferran Torres turn
09:33slides in Merino
09:36Diogo Costa
09:40Diogo Costa
09:41Manales
09:43fouled
09:48here
09:48Portugal
09:50Concei Sal
09:51good-looking ball in
09:52oh and onto the roof of the net
09:54nearly nearly nearly
09:58for Portugal
10:01Bernardo Silva
10:05swapping some barbs with the Spanish player
10:08what a chance this is
10:10and it's the little man Bernardo
10:15and that's going to be a free kick
10:18Torres
10:19the last drink
10:20in the saloon
10:21and it's flicked on a kick
10:23on pass
10:23the post and Anthony Taylor blows its whistle
