if it does go down the serious route there'll still be lots to enjoy so we're up and running so Jim tell me this who are you looking for in particular here well Peter here's someone I really like the look of in Ruben Diaz uh a proper Defender someone who who does the simple things well very well in fact and he rarely makes mistakes a bit of a a throwback to some of the Defenders I played with back in the day a good leader too okay interesting gets into some space has a Go There It Is Well they would have been looking at him to produce the goods and that was very kind of him to oblig so early that is simply top draw beautifully served up and deliciously finished it's a really really good goal and not just the way he finished it he to read the whole situation as it [Applause] developed so a breakthrough already Ruben Tas Bernardo Silva Rafael Le y Mendes looking for the runner now it's Rafael Lea he's going to have to tune his Rangefinder before the next one now it's Turan and it's Griezmann no he wasn't going to let him past well they could bring break here now it's Pedro Netto oh just skips past his man well it seems as if he's just had a momentary lapse and and slipped into tunnel vision because he had good options around him and he failed to get his head up it's run loose here Bernardo Silva moved on forwards he's got away rafhael Le with the cross he's cut it out Hernandez Saliba fund and it's ravio it's kaminga but it's lofted through here that's offside yes it is sbba teram oh Super K put it away f it they have heard the starter's pistol and come racing out of the blocks [Applause] well there's always a chance of being caught like that when you surrender the football [Applause] France take a two-goal lead and things should be comfortable from here on in well that's really winded the opposition you can see their manager screaming on the touchline telling his team to calm down but they'll need to do that pretty quickly it's composure from here threads one in now it's Cristiano Ronaldo Rafa there's the shot no mistake yeah the Right Touch in moments like that is key to what follows all very neat and tidy [Music] [Applause] this is threatening to become a really good game I think they can sense a comeback here and so can this crowd it's all systems going [Applause] now looking for options for movement oh really good Fe now who's going to be first to this well the crowd clearly like what they just saw some real non nonsense defending he's in surely gets good distance on it there will be a throw in rfha l oh extraordinary well that's why we all say indecision is [Applause] fer rabio over to the other side Hernandez good spot he's seen the [Applause] Run climbs up big that was no room routin Save The Keeper really dug out his defense then a magnificent effort RAF Le out to the left it goes Pedro Netto and that has left him in a heap rabio clous mve forward and quickly so and it's Cristiano Ronaldo great ball ped net oh that's a half decent [Applause] try and it's been taken short Shia Canelo cross from Canelo danger averted for now that's a throw gets his pass away here it is crossed in good delivery no Choy well being able to generate that amount of activity in the Box means it's hard not to pick some one [Applause] [Applause] out rabio wins the jeel this time well he had a really good run at goal there but the defense just weren't going to let him pass rabio Hernandez jaia Cel Andel Pala jaia canel shifted up f fi passing is crisp and sharp that's a foul simple decision for the referee [Applause] Pepe it's Bernardo Silva Bernardo Silva was alert to the possibilities but in the end it's fruitless tan ume nice interception well timed and he's there to clear it Griezmann it's he's done oh good effort he got plenty on that oh the technical control was Exquisite the pum of attemp was exasperating ped Leto oh it's come [Applause] loose played into the middle well that has caused disappointment to some unsurprisingly and disgust to others what a waste CL and it's ravio and it's Griezmann France leading here after what's been an eventful start to the game and the balls are griman Cristiano Ronaldo now it's rafhael Leal the fullback is in acres of space here well not the worst attempt a little technical tweak should help the quality Portugal playing here with a nice expansive style yeah with their fullbacks making up the numbers in attack two just need to make sure the back line doesn't become too stretched and faced with too much ground to cover he's gone down but the referee just tells him to get back up again strong challenge but well within the laws Pepe and it's played forward now it's Pedro Netto excellent challenge there uncompromised [Applause] and they'll start all over again with the goalkeeper kund that's rabio fund play back to the goalkeeper machus Nunes Pedro Netto for Xiao Canelo he's had it taken off [Applause] him and he's there to get it away Raphael Lea Raphael Lea look at the space here Hernandez it's a good run down the left hand side he's a sharp little ball here smoothly does it played it early here's a corner good [Applause] [Applause] chance and now a sudden chance to [Applause] counter ber another Silva and That Could set him on his way and the Finish K it two up now and they are cring and how about the timing of the pass and run they've wored it before and no doubt they'll work it again [Applause] well that has changed the dynamic somewhat well that goal should be a big game changer it's certainly been a big mood changer and it's ELO oh it's played in goes in for the header griezman foron with intent yeah he's F him there referee has resisted the temptation to go to his pocket it's just a stern lecture good take by The Keeper he's read that [Applause] well Tetro Neto TR Palo he's going to be disappointed with that g done bount of passing here really easy on the AR up to meet it he's done well to get his head on that but couldn't score well plenty of moving targets to pick out in the Box obviously increases your chances of the ball being met like that by someone [Applause] p and it's Canelo chooses to go Cross Field Raphael Le it's a throw [Applause] in Griezmann it's kaminga and he's had it nicked away Portugal finding their passes poist it in oh well played well played that was very necessary ra Le and the assistant referee rightly gives him offside T and it's Griezmann rabio and here's [Applause] ravio Cristiano Ronaldo and now the breakway kaminga over to the left Griezmann played out to the Left Flank that's a modern defender's Instinct from a a modern coach's mindset yeah I think if that can be repeated um there's a good chance of a goal and he's gone looking for safety [Applause] oh no no circumventing this opponent and there's his chance to lead the counter he's left his b quite squeeze that one [Applause] [Music] through [Applause] rabio Hernandez oh a searing run he is a man on a mission gets away from his opponents CHS to H she needed a better contact well it really shouldn't be allowed to happen again it needs to be dealt with of source Bernardo Silva sends it Forward Ro Le great work on the overlap and that's been leave clear kaminga it's a great ball real chance it's run loose who's going to get there Hernandez just eases him off the ball oh great head up and it's there and surely that settles [Applause] it oh Super Header wonderfully acrobatic he had a decision to make and he got it bang on you can't be the diving header and he's done it again he's got his second [Applause] France Grab A three-goal Lead it's just too easy well it's been a an absolutely fabulous spell for them and they're starting to look Unstoppable there could be more on the way TR pinho fiddles it through he could be in here B oh shooting chance H in and again they simply do not know what has hit [Applause] them the lightness of Step the sharpness of movement the certainty of Finish Well from the moment he got involved he looked as if he'd go all the way terrific [Applause] France tear their opponents apart by once again they are utterly ruthless well they're very much the better team at the moment Peter and and no doubt we'll be looking to to cause even more damage here and here's Cristiano Ronaldo now it's pedon Netto he's shifting through rapel Le and that has been cleared it's G for throwing crunching tackle some excellent tackling here and that one a perfect example and it's Bernardo Silva nice physical challenge saliva now it's s Griezmann oh almost a six it was more possible than probable and the O back it up Peter [Applause] Bernardo Silva Pedro Neto Rafael Le he's kicked it out that's a great save [Applause] [Applause] and out to safety that is good strength proves too strong and the shots no it's right oh I'm not sure what he had in mind and I don't think he knew either [Applause] rabio moved forward and quickly so stood up well to him there rienas Bernardo Silva Rafael Le for Pedro Neta and here's Cristiano Ronaldo great defending strong and determined and that's put pay to a promising [Applause] move interesting ball hit into the middle and it's kept out by a stubborn [Applause] defense they've played it short well he's not going to any further than that France can start a counter here Ruben Di and back to the goalkeeper gently done
