Germany 1-2 Portugal: Nations League semi-final – live reaction

 Francisco Conceição’s wonder strike and Cristiano Ronaldo’s close-range finish turned the game on its head after Florian Wirtz had broken the deadlock.

22:07

88 mins: I’m not sure how Portugal didn’t score a third here – Ter Stegen has pulled off an absolutely miraculous double save! He parried Jota’s effort out to Conceicao, who looked certain to score, but somehow the German keeper springs across to keep the ball out again.

Full time: Germany 1-2 Portugal

22:06

Francisco Conceição’s wonder strike and Cristiano Ronaldo’s close-range finish turned the game on its head after Florian Wirtz had broken the deadlock. Portugal deservedly beat their hosts and advance to Sunday’s final here against France or Spain.

22:04

94 mins: Portugal corner, but Germany get a free kick and a chance to pump the ball upfield. Portugal repel the long ball forward, though, and Fernandes plays in Jota for a shot at goal, which Ter Stegen saves. And that’s time up …

22:03

89 mins: Ronaldo is going off to rapturous applause, replaced by Joao Palhinha. There’ll be five minutes of injury time.

22:03

93 mins: Portugal are able to clear and break downfield, but Fernandes’ attempted pass to Jota is straight into Ter Stegen’s path. Still, more seconds slip off the clock. Vitinha produces a dazzling run from the corner flag, from which Palhinha’s shot deflects behind. Time running out for Germany …

22:01

91 mins: Germany win a corner, but Kimmich’s floated delivery clears everyone. Fullkrug appeals after a grapple with Fernandes, but it’s six of one, half a dozen of the other.

22:00

84 mins: Tempers boiling over in the time-honoured style here, and it all stems from an exchange between Wirtz and Fernandes. The Manchester United man went to ground without much contact, prompting a melee that sees Wirtz, Fullkrug and Ruben Dias booked. Possibly Fernandes too – the yellow card was being waved with impunity.

21:59

81 mins: Conceicao gallops free again down the right, cuts inside and smashes a shot just wide of the far post. He’s been close to unplayable since coming on.

21:57

82 mins: Just as it seems Portugal are certain to score next, Adeyemi finds space and smashes his shot against the near post from a tight angle. Inches from a Germany equaliser!

21:56

79 mins: Bruno Fernandes, who has been key to Portugal’s revival, turns beyond Tah and is hauled down. The Germany defender is booked, while Conceicao receives some magic spray on his shoulder – I’m not sure why.

21:56

86 mins: Just before it all kicked off, Diogo Jota replaced Pedro Neto for Portugal. An awkward moment for him, potentially.

21:50

80 mins: Conceicao returns with one sleeve still rolled up – the absolute baller – drops his clothed shoulder and crosses to Neto, whose header is collected by Ter Stegen.

21:47

78 mins: Portugal almost unpick the German defence again, Fernandes with another lovely weighted ball in behind for Conceicao, whose cross is scrambled clear by Kimmich before Ronaldo can get a decisive touch.

21:46

77 mins: Gnabry’s cross towards Fullkrug is cleared away by Inacio at the near post. Germany just allowing their opponents too much time to get numbers back.

GOAL! Germany 1-2 Portugal (Ronaldo 68')

21:46

Wow. Germany’s defence is all at sea as Fernandes plays in the marauding Nuno Mendes, whose cross finds Ronaldo on his own in front of goal. He’ll still be scoring these in another 40 years, and Portugal lead!

21:45

75 mins: Nmecha threads a ball through to Goretzka, who can’t reach it and looks back in anger. It looked quite a good pass to me, Goretzka just wasn’t expecting it.

21:44

73 mins: Germany are still scrambling for a foothold in the game, and Gnabry is penalised for hauling down Nuno Mendes.

GOAL! Germany 1-1 Portugal (Conceição 62')

21:41

This is an absolutely outrageous finish from Francisco Conceição, and Portugal are level!

21:40

71 mins: Two Dortmund players, Karim Adeyemi and Felix Nmecha, are on in place of Anton and Pavlovic. That means a switch to a back four from Nagelsmann.

21:39

That’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s 137th Portugal goal, and he is serenaded by the elated Portugal fans who fill the opposite end of the ground. There’s a VAR check for offside, but Ronaldo – despite being offside for pretty much the entire move – got behind the ball just in time for Mendes’ cross.
