  1. HT: Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Not a moment of added time in the first half and Wales head for the dressing room at 1-0 down.

    Wales have offered very little going forward, with Portugal managing 13 shots to Wales' one.

    Having said that, the hosts have not created a raft of clear-cut chances.

    All things considered, Craig Bellamy has to be reasonably happy, doesn't he?

  2. HALF-TIME - Portugal 1-0 Wales

  3. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Wales work hard defensively once more but then give the ball away too easily.

  4. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Renato Veiga is in the action again.

    The big centre-back tries a shot from distance which sails into the crowd.

    Cristiano Ronaldo did not look especially impressed with that.

  5. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Pedro Neto finds a bit of space and tries a stepover as he drives into the box, but Jay Dasilva makes a good tackle.

  6. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Nathan Blake
    Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Wales

    The pitch is not the best.

    Ronaldo had to really concentrate there instead of putting his foot through it because he's not sure where it's going to bobble to.

  7. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Nia Jones

    There is a roar from the crowd at the opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo, you can tell what they've come to see.

  8. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    As we mention his name, the ball is worked to Cristiano Ronaldo in the box but his shot is not clean and Danny Ward saves comfortably.

  9. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    By the way, Gareth Bale is four years younger than Cristiano Ronaldo.

    He was seen kicking a ball this week - but it was on his social media and on a beach.

    If only he was still around, hey.

    Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Brennan Johnson has to be one of the most overrated players in the Premier League. Can’t believe the transfer fees he has generated. He never seems to perform as Spurs and Palace have found.

    Shaun, Sheffield

    Ward far too slow getting to the deck [for the goal], shades of his poor performance at the start of 2025 at Wrexham where he conceded soft goals on the turf.

  11. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Nia Jones
    Former Wales international on Match of the Day Wales

    Wales are losing the ball a few too many times in their own half.

    Portugal are really looking to get it wide quickly their wingers who are looking to deliver, and there are plenty of men to aim at.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is frustratedGetty Images

    The moment that free-kick was awarded, the majority of the home fans got their phones out ready to record the Cristiano Ronaldo free-kick.

    Around 25 yards out, almost facing the centre of the goal, the 41-year-old fires is straight at the wall.

    The phones duly go back into the pockets of the supporters, who will presumably delete that video pretty soon.

    Wales fans respond with chants of 'you're just a poor Gareth Bale'.*

    *A stronger word was definitely used in this chant.

  13. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    'You're just an inferior Gareth Bale', or words to that effect, sing Wales' fans.

  14. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Cristiano Ronaldo strides forward... and drills the free-kick into the Welsh wall.

  15. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    You know who is taking it.

  16. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Joao Felix turns neatly and is brought down by Ben Davies.

    Free-kick in a dangerous position.

  17. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Iwan Roberts
    Former Wales striker on BBC Radio Cymru

    I don't think we've got the ball to our wingers enough.

    Everything has gone through the middle, there have not been many opportunities for David Brooks and Brennan Johnson to take their man on.

  18. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    Nuno Mendes has been prominent so far tonight.

    He skates into the Welsh box before eventually being stopped by Jay Dasilva's challenge.

    Cristiano Ronaldo then gets involved but the flag is up.

  19. Watch: Felix fires Portugal ahead

    Portugal 1-0 Wales

  20. Portugal 1-0 Wales

    The corner bounces up on to Josh Sheehan's arm, but it's by his side and there is no suggestion of a penalty being awarded.
