Match Commentary

96'
FULL-TIME: THE single-most ridiculous second-half of football I have ever had the privilege to witness. Four red cards and 16 yellows. The up-shot? Portugal set up a quarter-final with England.
95'
SENDING OFF! UNBELIEVABLE! Van Bronkhorst is shown a second yellow card for a foul on Deco on the edge of the area. Another very harsh decision from the referee.
94'
Ricardo is fortunate to win a free-kick as he comes through a crowd to claim a high ball.
