    There was a VAR check for a potential Dean Huijsen foul on Bernardo Silva back in midfield early in that move, but the goal stands.

    I don't think it's a foul. There's an arm on the back, but Silva goes down easy.

    Again, the run and pass timed perfectly. Just a little toe around the keeper. The run and the ball from Pedri, just perfection.

    Spain are back in the lead.

    Pedri plays a fantastic through ball to Mikel Oyarzabal, who gets past two Portugal defenders and then knocks the ball past Diogo Costa into the bottom corner.

    It's been quite a fouly game. Stop-start right now.

    Lamine Yamal can't pick out Nico Williams with a through ball, it's cut out by a Portugal defender.

    Portugal 1-1 Spain

    Francisco Conceicao barges Marc Cucurella over and Spain have a free-kick, which they take quickly. But the European champions are taking their time over this move. Just passing it around in no rush.

    On the flipside, it's not easy playing out of a press as ferocious as Spain's.

    It's still the passing game BUT the big difference between this Spanish team for example is they allow individuals to flourish. Yamal would not be allowed to dribble like he does by the likes of Guardiola or Arteta.

    Portugal vs Spain has got to be the most foul riddled game I’ve ever seen.

    Peter: John Jensen scored for Denmark in the European Championships final, shortly before joining Arsenal. Think we know what to expect if Zubimendi signs.
