That was a really classy finish from Lucia Alves, who has been the best player on the pitch.

Tanya Oxtoby will be disappointed that after a bright end to the first half, Northern Ireland conceded so soon after the restart.

It is a real uphill task now to get anything from this game.

The home side have a huge chance to further extend their lead as Ana Borges' header from a Andreia Jacinto free-kick is denied by the crossbar.

Jackie Burns gathers the rebound before Carole Costa can steer home the rebound.

We're back underway with no changes in personnel at the break.

Northern Ireland will be relived to go in at the break only 1-0 down and that is in large part due to some key saves from Jackie Burns.

Lucia Alves has been a constant thorn in Northern Ireland's side in that first half, Demi Vance needs some help to try and contain the pacy forward.

Tanya Oxtoby's side did manage to string some passes together in the last five minutes of the half where they enjoyed their best spell of the game, and they will hope to bring Lauren Wade into the contest in the second half as she has been quiet.

Carole Costa's penalty gives the home side the lead at the break.

Northern Ireland stopper Jackie Burns has kept the score down for Northern Ireland and has made multiple impressive saves.

A huge second half to come - can the away side find an equaliser?

We are into three minutes of additional time.

Rachel Dugdale's free-kick is cleared, but only as far as Keri Halliday, who can't get a strike away.

Another vital clearance, this time from Laura Rafferty to stop Portugal from doubling their lead as the half-time whistle approaches.

Demi Vance makes a crucial block to deny Telma Encarnacao from connecting with Kika Nazareth's long ball before Rebecca McKenna clears the danger.

The answer is no as the danger is quickly cleared by the alert Portugal defence.

Simone Magill's cross into the box is deflected out of play by goal-scorer Carole Costa.

Can the away side create a chance through the corner?

Another disappointing night in Dublin as the Republic of Ireland are defeated 3-0 by Sweden. The scoreline is perhaps harsh but Sweden showed their quality throughout and picked off an Irish team who are still searching for a first goal in Euro 2025 qualifying.

The night ends on a worrying note as Katie McCabe appears to pull up with a hamstring issue right at the death.

Eileen Gleeson's side now travel to Solna for the reverse fixture on Tuesday knowing that their hopes of automatic qualification are fading fast.

Two huge saves from Jackie Burns, the first to stop Jessica Silva's strike after an impressive run down the left flank before palming Lucia Alves rebound effort over the crossbar.

The Northern Ireland stopper has been impressive this evening and has kept the score-line down.

Portugal are pushing for a second goal and are denied the opportunity to create a goalscoring chance by the offside flag twice in very quick succession.
