Liverpool striker Leanne Kiernan has been busy since coming on and she wins a free-kick that Katie McCabe delivers.

Caitlin Hayes meets it but heads wide. Time running out with just seven plus stoppage time to go.

Jackie Burns palms Joana Marchao's free-kick away with Lucia Alves falling under the challenge of Rebecca McKenna when trying to latch onto the rebound.

McKenna is booked for the foul.

Rebecca Holloway is cautioned for a sliding tackle on Lucia Alves.

Jackie Burns lands awkwardly on her ankle when making sure that Kika Nazareth's shot wasn't curling into the back of the net.

Thankfully for the away side, it looks like she will be able to play on.

It has been a nervy start from Northern Ireland, who have gifted Portugal possession on a number of occasions in their attempts to play out from the back.

Francisco's Neto's side have been wasteful with their chances much to the displeasure of the large crowd in the stadium, but Northern Ireland can ill-afford to continue to give away such opportunities.

Kika Nazareth's strike from just outside the box curls just over the bar as Portugal push for the opening goal.

That certainly would have been a stylish way to break the deadlock!

A triple substitution by Eileen Gleeson as Aoife Mannion, Leanne Kiernan and the long-throw expert Megan Campbell - winning her 50th cap - are on for Kyra Carusa, Lily Agg and Anna Patten.

15 left to play as the Irish manager has now played almost all of her cards.

Simone Magill heads Chloe McCarron's corner wide as the away side have their first chance of the game.

Jessica Silva is played through on goal, but under pressure from Jackie Burns she fails to get a strike away which gives Northern Ireland time to get players back.

The inrushing Rebecca Holloway clears the danger with the home side gaining possession once again. However no one can steer a shot towards goal.

Amber Barrett is again left frustrated as she does well to beat Lundkvist down the Irish left but her cross is just too high for Kyra Carusa.

20 to go here at the Aviva.

Lucia Alves tries to play the ball into a busy box from the right flank.

However, her delivery is too heavy and sails over everyone.

After a very strong start by Portugal, Northern Ireland have now settled into the game.

Can they test goalkeeper Patricia Morais for the first time this evening?

Whilst Rachel Dugdale was down on the team sheet as playing in midfield, she has formed part of a back five for Northern Ireland.

She is playing in the right-wing back role with Rebecca McKenna moving into centre back alongside Laura Rafferty and Rebecca Holloway with Demi Vance at left wing back.

Tyler Toland replaces Jessica Stapleton in Eileen Gleeson's first change right on the hour mark.

Telma Encarnacao nearly takes advantage of a mistake by Demi Vance, but good defending from Rebecca McKenna deflects her header.

The rebound does fall to Encarnacao with her second attempt, an overhead kick, off target.

It's been a strong start from the home side who are pushing for an early goal.

We're underway in Leiria!

Will Northern Ireland be the victors this evening and make a huge step towards securing qualification for Euro 2025 or will the home side claim the three crucial points?

Courtney Brosnan redeems herself almost immediately. Sweden overload the left side, much like they did on the right for their first-half goal and Fridolina Rolfo came baring down on goal.

However, the Everton stopper stayed big and denied the Barcelona superstar.

Jessica Ziu to the rescue! The West Ham player is quickest to react as she slides in to deny Madelen Janogy after Courtney Brosnan spills Fridolina Rolfo's cross.
