    Lucia Alves tries to take advantage of an empty net, but Laura Rafferty is fouled as multiple players try to gain possession of the loose ball so the away side are awarded a free-kick, to the frustration of the home fans.

    The third goal was almost a carbon copy of Lucia Alves' second and a 3-0 scoreline is probably a fair reflection of the game for Portugal who have been a class above Northern Ireland this evening.

    Catarina Amado (83 mins)

    Another very well worked goal this time from substitute Catarina Amado.

    Amado times her run well to connect with Carole Costa's ball and lifts the ball over Jackie Burns and the onrushing Northern Ireland defence to further extend the home side's advantage.

    Portugal 2-0 Northern Ireland

    Nearly a case of the commentator's curse there!

    Jackie Burns rushes to a slack back pass before Telma Encarnacao can connect with the danger.

    Laura Rafferty then puts pressure under Diana Silva, who had latched onto the rebound and fires her effort off target.

    In the last five minutes Portugal have been happy to keep the ball in midfield rather than push forward like they had been.

    Kika Nazareth and Jackie Burns clash when trying to gain possession in the box, but after treatment both players look able to play on.

    Portugal 2-0 Northern Ireland

    Telma Encarnacao's overhead kick is just over the crossbar.

    Portugal, who are being cheered on by a vociferous home support, are certainly not settling for a two goal lead!
