    Portugal 1-0 Denmark (1-1 agg)

    Cristiano Ronaldo has the ball in the back of the net but the flag is quickly up for offside. A VAR check confirms the decision and that's the final action of the first half.

    An interesting second half to come.

    Tim Kleindienst (45 mins)

    Germany are not taking it easy!

    This time Italy are caught out playing out from the back and the ball is crossed for Tim Kleindienst to nod in from close range.

    A half to very much forget for Italy.

    Portugal 1-0 Denmark (1-1 agg)

    Portugal are looking so dangerous from corners with that leap Cristiano Ronaldo possesses but Kasper Schmeichel just about claws it away.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:31 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    France 0-0 Croatia (0-2 agg)

    Michael Olise charges forward with France attacking four versus three but Mateo Kovacic brings him down. Kovacic is rightly booked, but that stopped a dangerous looking France attack.

    Spain 1-0 Netherlands (3-2 agg)

    Is that the third time an attack has ended because Mikel Oyarzabal is offside? The Spain forward has got to do better there.

  9. Postpublished at 20:29 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    Germany 2-0 Italy (4-1 agg)

    Oh now Italy decide to start playing as Sandro Tonali sends a decent strike just over.

  10. Postpublished at 20:28 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    Spain 1-0 Netherlands (3-2 agg)

    The pacy Jeremie Frimpong is causing Marc Cucurella all sorts of problems down the right side.

    The Netherlands have really settled well after falling behind early on.

    Seeing all the negatives around Ronaldo and just makes you think that some are not fit enough to lace his boots! Don’t forget record international goal scorer, more than any other player in the world ever! Be grateful for what you have seen over a number of years - you have witnessed a legend of football.

  12. CLOSE!published at 20:25 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    France 0-0 Croatia (0-2 agg)

    Best chance so far for France as Michael Olise plays the ball through the defence and Bradley Barcola is in one-on-one but his shot is denied.

    Joachim Andersen own goal

    What a way to level the tie.

    Bruno Fernandes sends a corner in, Cristiano Ronaldo can't reach it with his head but Joachim Andersen can and he sends it over the top of Kasper Schmeichel and into his own net.

    Jamal Musiala (36 mins)

    That is surely that.

    Not sure what Gianluigi Donnarumma is doing. He's complaining to the referee about something and goes wandering off his line. Germany send the ball in from a corner and Jamal Musiala volleys into the empty goal.

  15. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:23 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    France 0-0 Croatia (0-2 agg)

    Kylian Mbappe is booked. He's not happy with Dominik Livakovic's reaction as he tried to get the ball off the Croatia keeper and then lashes out a bit as Livakovic's team-mates come to his defence.

    Portugal 0-0 Denmark (0-1 agg)

    Denmark have an xG of 0.14 for those of you who care about that sort of thing.

    Not great, but they won't care, they're going through to the semi-finals as things stand.

  17. YELLOW CARDpublished at 20:22 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    France 0-0 Croatia (0-2 agg)

    Josip Sutalo is booked for a foul on Theo Hernández on the left side of the box. Manu Koné is picked out by the delivery from the free-kick but heads over.

    Portugal 0-0 Denmark (0-1 agg)

    Cristiano Ronaldo's missed penalty was just shown on a replay and it truly was an awful spot kick. Kasper Schmeichel probably couldn't believe his luck!

  19. Republic of Ireland trailpublished at 20:20 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    Elsewhere in the Nations League play-offs, Bulgaria lead the Republic of Ireland 1-0 at the Aviva Stadium.

    It's now level on aggregate (2-2) - you can follow that game live here.

    Belgium are also taking on Ukraine in the play-offs and after half an hour it's goalless. Ukraine lead 3-1 on aggregate.

  20. Postpublished at 20:19 Greenwich Mean Time 23 March

    Spain 1-0 Netherlands (3-2 agg)

    Marc Cucurella wins the ball back in his own half and looks to free Nico Williams but the Athletic Club winger fails to capitalise.
