00:00It is Nations League final week in Germany kickoff delayed due to a dramatic

00:14hailstorm earlier we are 10 minutes later than advertised but this this is a match well worth

00:23waiting for last time these sides met was in the group stages of Euro 2020 it was a limited crowd

00:37that day on the back end of the pandemic tonight in Munich every seat taken the bones of 70 000 in

00:46here to watch this one he has been much discussed about where his future may lie Kimmich here tries

00:54to pull it back it's the first attempt on target of the game from Goretzka and he'll be disappointed

01:01not to have troubled Diogo Costa a little further there good work for Pedro Neto slipping in behind

01:08Jonathan Tarr Pavlovich has to work hard to keep up with him Neto Cristiano Ronaldo and it's so

01:16back to Segui the first shot in anger of this Nations League semi-final speaks here for Pavlovich

01:27oh he's got it back down he goes inside the penalty area following up Walter Rade is denied

01:34well there'll be a few protests here as to whether there should have been a penalty kick awarded

01:44video assistant referee tonight Alan Brociac will be watching the replays in the background

01:49Germany did well because it's so congested there's so many Portuguese defenders in there they picked their

01:53way through great layoff from Guatemala and have a good look at that and whether there was a foul in there

01:59looking for the angle pulling it back another good save to Denai Goretzka that's two world-class

02:10stops now from Diogo Costa it's such a difficult save because you can see it so late it's actually

02:15moving to his left his body weight seems to be to his left and then has to readjust and get down quickly

02:20it's an outstanding save

02:24Nuno Mendes spotting the opportunity here has been able to steal away possession now can he pick out a

02:30teammate Ronaldo within a whisker

02:3840 years of age he stretched every muscle and senior to get to that

02:44and he just couldn't quite get that solid contact but Nuno Mendes

02:50took advantage of Germany giving the ball away so cheaply powers forward it's a wonderful cross

02:55Ilya Nagelsman hoping that home advantage could count here that's very clever from Kimmich

03:02Vierce

03:04the opening goal for Germany

03:09it's an instinctive flick of the head

03:14from Florian Vierce

03:15just watch this as the ball is dinged number 11

03:20who just actually steps into it Ruben Dias

03:23and that's what the Portuguese defense is not happy about they feel he was kind of impeded there

03:27wasn't allowed to get to the ball and I don't think Walter Mardy actually does

03:31just waiting to confirm that oh plot twist in Munich

03:36Slavio Vincic has been invited by the video assistant referee to come and have a look for himself and

03:47yeah I just want again they may be looking at a potential offside here rather than maybe the

03:52another leaning into Ruben Dias are they looking at Vietz and that position that he takes up

03:59it didn't take very long

04:00and Roberto Martinez I believe has been shown a yellow card

04:08taking off

04:10the cock and a shot that bent and wasn't very far away at all

04:16Bruno Fernandes felt that might have been a corner too but

04:19the decision is called kick yeah it's giving a little bit too much time and space to get the strike in

04:25once again they feel there's a possibility of a touch there off a German defender this will give us a

04:29better view it's just a toe of Robin Cotter takes that ball wide

04:36fleet-footed

04:37oh it's brilliant it's absolutely sparkly

04:45Francisco Cotter

04:51rolls back the years memories of his father scoring against Germany his dad scored last time Portugal beat Germany

05:02tonight

05:03tonight Francisco Cotter has put them back on level terms against the Germans here

05:10it's a stunning strike but give Roberto Martinez a lot of credit

05:13it's still should win it for that is again Nuno Mendes for Cristiano Ronaldo

05:26they keep writing him off they keep saying he's too old that is number 100

05:3515 you clears it's conscious out versus tar and constant service always going to win that sprint now has he got the finishing touch again

05:47a whisker away

05:48this is a wonderful opportunity to kill the game off but he goes for pure power he doesn't need to

05:55you can see he absolutely smashes that ball if he just caresses it with his instep just kind of rips it

06:01just needs to pass that with pace to the toward the far post inside the far post

06:04here is Cristiano Ronaldo can he get a late flourish

06:12helped out by Jota

06:15that is a miraculous

06:17double save by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to keep Germany in this

06:24arguably saveable the second one the reaction to making the first one was just outstanding

06:29I think that one's pretty much at him so he just bats that away but then to move

06:32move so quickly across to your left and provide that giant barrier the second save is

06:37is really off the charts that's the save you would maybe expect to make it's at him

06:41but this one the second one is outstanding

06:48he's got Jota with him this concealment to Stegen with another stop

06:55and that will prove to be the final action of the night

07:03for the first time in 25 years Portugal have beaten Germany

07:14the complaints continue from Julian Nagelsmann

07:18Germany out of contention for the big prize

07:23as Cristiano Ronaldo and company moved the doubters wrong

07:28on a day when Germany could not handle the heat that Portugal brought at them
