Events
Match Events
- 0' That's the starting whistle at Signal Iduna Park. Ninety minutes of football awaits between Turkey and Portugal.
- 5' Portugal fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
- 10' Cristiano Ronaldo has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 3 goals to his name this season.
- 15' Portugal looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Bernardo Silva scoring 1 goals.
- 20' Rafael Leao is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Turkey tonight.
- 21' The deadlock is broken! Bernardo Silva gets on the scoresheet on 21 minutes.
- 25' Abdulkerim Bardakci is having his name booked by the referee on 25.
- 28' A goal from the Turkey international Samet Akaydin! He fires home on 28 to make it 1-1!
- 33' The 28-year-old Altay Bayindir has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
- 38' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Joao Cancelo made 529 appearances and scored 18 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 39' That looks like a foul for a card for Rafael Leao.
- 42' Samet Akaydin has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 42.
- 45' The referee does not hesitate — a card for Joao Palhinha on 45 minutes.
- 46' Another change for Turkey made on 46 minute. Orkun Kokcu leaves to be changed by Yusuf Yazici.
- 51' Portugal is showing some good football. However, Portugal are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

- 75' Fresh legs for Turkey! Merih Demiral comes on to replace Samet Akaydin.
- 80' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 83' The Portugal bench stirs into life. Pepe is withdrawn and Antonio Silva gets his opportunity.
- 88' Joao Neves has so much to prove this time. He replaces Vitinha on 88 minute.
- Portugal celebrates a vital win. Three points that could prove pivotal come season's end.
