Türkiye - Portugal, as it happened

Portugal progress

as.com

Far, far too easy for Portugal who were rarely troubled by Türkiye today in Dortmund and with a routine 3-0 win, Roberto Martinez and his side are mathematically through to the Round of 16 as group winners.

First half goals from an improved Bernardo Silva and a 'what was he thinking' own goal from defender Akaydin had the side from the Iberian peninsula in total control at the break.

An early second half tap in from Bruno Fernandes essentially ended the competition with the Man United player tapping into an empty net after Cristiano did well to spring the Türkiye offside trap with the Al Nassr man playing for the full 90 minutes again.

Not even Arda Guler could dig his side out of a hole and Montella's side now need to at least manage a draw against Czechia to advance in the tournament.

Portugal did themselves proud today banishing Tuesday's awful showing against Leipzig in the rain and will have fans believing once again that they can go all the way.

Portugal well on top at the break

It's been plain sailing for a Portugal team who look sharper than the side who eventually beat Czechia in the Leipzig rain last Tuesday.

Bernardo Silva will have silenced the 'haters' after a solid half that included a goal from the Man City man and once again, it's been a discreet showing so far from Cristiano Ronaldo who flits more out of the game than into it !

as.com

Portugal comfortably ahead at the interval with Türkiye rarely droubling Costa in the goal for Roberto Martinez's men.

A win tonight would see Portugal mathematically top Group F.

Great work from Ronaldo as he gets the ball to the byline and delivers a solid cross which Leao is unable to head on target ... Roberto Martinez's side alsking plenty of questions and certainly offering more spark than the side we saw earlier this week in Leipzig against Czechia.

So, what version of Portugal will we get today?

Will it be the stodgy, slow and predictable version we saw earlier this week in Leipzig or a dynamic free flowing style of play that have made Portugal many people's favorite for the tournament...

Turkey will be far from pushovers and Montella's side looked impressive against Georgia that for many has been the best game of the tournament so far and indeed was a game that boasted some of the finest goals of the competition to date.

It's a packed house in Dortmund with more than 60,000 fans in attendance (the capacity is reduced for Euro 2024) from the more than 70,000 who attend Borussia Dortmund games but the Turkish support are in a clear majority today.
