    The crowd haven't turned it on for the second half yet. A few might still be lagging from their half-time vodka. More hustling from Portugal.

    Spain are attacking the goal to our left now, looking to again come from behind. Portugal have reappeared with a higher line, pressing Spain further into their own territory.

    Simon, perhaps you should nip outside and remind them that the football is on?

    The second half is under way...

    James Gibson: How do Portugal always find a way to stay in a game when they get battered all over the park? Seem to have so much more luck compared to other teams

    Simon Walker: WOW. Portugal playing Spain in the World Cup and the neighbours are out cutting the grass.

    I wondered what David de Gea was getting in the player rater. Currently 4.40 out of 10.

    Nacho is only on 4.36. Work that one out...

    You can have your say here.

    Did you miss the first half? Allow us to show you the key moments.

    I wonder what that De Gea blunder looked like in virtual reality? Remember you can watch this game in VR, too.

    You know how I was banging on about Spain attacking down the left. I wasn't making it up....

    Diego Costa wants the ball played up to him so he can fight. Pepe is embarrassing but it's world class number 9 play for Spain's equaliser.

    Pepe has just got to be strong. He just fell over. This is when VAR works perfectly.

    Some people may have thought that was a foul, but it's not clear and obvious so the goal has to be allowed.

    This is a fantastic game to watch.

    If you're texting/tweeting to suggest that De Gea has a concussion, your joke isn't original, but it is slightly amusing.

    First Karius, now De Gea... when will goalkeepers realise that the top knot hairstyle just doesn't work!

    I dread to think what David de Gea might get in the player rater.

    Portugal 2-1 Spain

    There was an interesting bit of symmetry to that second Portugal goal, the De Gea howler.

    When Cristiano Ronaldo was waiting to take the penalty for Portugal's first, De Gea had a little word in his ear.

    Later, it was De Gea who buckled under the pressure...

    It was everything we wanted and hoped for from the first kick of the ball.

    It was a brilliant start from Portugal but it was a good response from Spain.

    A definite penalty.

    You just can't keep Ronaldo out of the headlines.

    Frustrating first half, though for 20 mins Spain seemed good, recovered early, good movement. Before that too slow. Spain need an extra gear for certain.

    It was the worst time to concede because Spain were on top after reacting well to going behind. Hopefully they can start again in the second half.

    Fittingly, Ronaldo has the last touch of the half, heading away a Spain corner.

    Portugal lead. Words cannot describe that simplicity of that De Gea mistake. We'll have a clip soon. Honestly, you or I would have backed ourselves to save it.

    I mean I know we've been through a lot of the unscripted talk this week already...

    David de Gea made a clanger in a pre-tournament friendly against Switzerland but there's nothing like one on the world stage.

    The Portugal fans are flying.
