Match Commentary

93'
Confirmation that Mexico are through - Angola haven't done enough against Iran.
93'
Full time. Portugal record their third straight win to top the group. Missed penalties, red cards and great entertainment, but Mexico, barring an injury-time fightback from Angola, are all but certain to join them in the last 16.
92'
Boa Morte weaves his way across the pitch. Then Nuno Gomes lays it into the path of Maniche, whose first-time shot is parried by Sanchez.
