Nani gave Portugal, the favourites, the lead just after the half an hour mark after Iceland defense went to sleep. However, Iceland, making their debut, pulled things back after Bjarnason scored in the second half. Iceland then held on to deny Portugal a win.

PORTUGAL vs ICELAND AS IT HAPPENED:

93′ Time up. Portugal have a free kick though. Cristiano Ronaldo sets it up – 33 metres away… And it is into the wall. Handball given though. Yellow card to Finnbogason. Another free kick, closer now. 24 metres away now. But once again it is into the wall and that’s full time! HUGE RESULT FOR ICELAND!

92′ Portugal win a free kick in a dangerous area but the cross is miserable. Cleared with ease.  Seconds to go…

90′ Stoppage time. Portugal need someone to step up. NOW.

88′ Portugal with air raids in the Iceland area. But none of them being converted into goals.

84′ Final Portugal change. Eder comes on for Andre Gomes

81′ Cristiano Ronaldo’s free kick is deflected wide for a 10th Portugal corner. From the ensuing corner, Pepe shoulders it wide. Didn’t get the proper contact.

76′ Quaresma (in) – João Mário (out)  for Portugal.

Festive offer

70′ First change of the game: Renato Sanches (in) – Joao Moutinho (out)

HALF TIME: Iceland not entirely shy on their Euro debut but Nani goal the difference between the two sides.

31′ NANI SCORES!! Cross from the right and Nani is on the near post to slot it in from his right foot. Andre Gomes with the assist.

10′ Some needless numbers

3′ CHANCE! G. Sigurdsson finds space and room to run and he does so. Takes a shot from inside the box and stings Rui Patricio’s hands. Early space for both teams.

1′ We’re underway. Portugal, in maroon, are from right to left and Iceland, in white, are going from left to right.

# National anthems sung. Play about to kick off!

# Apparently there are 40,000 Iceland fans in St Etienne – equivalent to 15% of Iceland’s population. Insane!

# Limbering up

Portugal goalkeeper Anthony Lopes says there is a lot more to their side than “best player in the world” Cristiano Ronaldo. Lopes, who plays for Olympique Lyonnais, is glad to be able to count on Ronaldo as a team mate, but says any talk of Portugal being a one-man outfit is misplaced.
