    Some night for Olivier Giroud.

    Italy 5-0 Moldova

    Italy

    Italy aren't messing around. Stephan El Shaarawy's second of the night makes it 5-0 just before the break.

    Just call this one a gimme at half-time?

  5. Germany finally in frontpublished at 20:37 British Summer Time 7 October 2020

    Germany 1-0 Turkey

    Germany

    It's been a dominant performance from Germany so far and they finish the first half with a well-deserved goal.

    Right-footed shot from the captain Julian Draxler and it's in the back of the net as the whistle blows for half time.

    Poland 3-0 Finland

    Poland

    No Robert Lewandowsk for Poland - but who needs Bobby when you've got Kami?

    West Brom's Kamil Grosicki has hit a 19-minute hat-trick for the Poles against Finland.

    His only Albion appearance this season has come in ther Carabao Cup - against Harrogate.

  7. What a cracking (own goal)published at 20:31 British Summer Time 7 October 2020

    Italy 4-0 Moldova

    Italy

    As fine an own goal as you'll ever see.

    Veaceslav Posmac, trying to track back and tackle, pokes a toe on the ball and rifles it into the corner of his own net from 12 yards out. Top bins

    Italy lead Moldova 4-0.

  8. HALF-TIMEpublished at 20:30 British Summer Time 7 October 2020

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    Referee has had enough. He blows for half time early on 44:50.

    Cristiano Ronaldo is fuming. He thought a goal was coming.

  9. CLOSE!published at 43 mins

    BIG chance for Portugal!

    A superb leap by Cristiano Ronaldo - just how does he get that much height? - as he nods down a cross for Trincao, who hooks the ball back into the middle of the area but Raphael Guerreiro lashes over. Had to get that one on target.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    The Spain attack appears to have run out of steam after a fast start and chances are few and far between as half time approaches. Wouldn't say it has been an exciting watch, but certainly intriguing.

    Italy 3-0 Moldova

    Italy

    Italy's B team really making light work of mighty Moldova.

    Stephan El Shaarawy gets the Azzurri's third from a narrow angle.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    Go on Ronaldo lad!

    The Juventus forward has popped up on the left and charges forward with the ball. He's into the box, couple of step overs and is about to let fly but a well-timed tackle by Diego Llorente swiftly ends Ronaldo's excitement.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    Lovely control by Cristiano Ronaldo as he brings a long ball from the back under control with one-touch and then feeds Joao Moutinho with his second touch. Moutinho quickly tries to spring Andre Silva but his ball is intercepted and Ronaldo throws his head back in frustration.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    Francisco Trincao has a think about a foray down the right but is put off by the presence of Eric Garcia and goes backwards.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    Remember when Andre Silva was linked, external with a move to Huddersfield? That was mad, that.

    Anyway he, like Cristiano Ronaldo, has seen very little action so far in this half. Think he touched the ball five minutes ago but that's about it.

  16. Postpublished at 29 mins

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    Pepe gets crunched by two Spain players and Portugal have a free kick on the right. Joao Moutinho whips the ball into the area and Eric Garcia heads behind for a corner but this time Pepe is penalised for a foul inside the box.

  17. Two quick goals for Azzurripublished at 20:12 British Summer Time 7 October 2020

    Italy 2-0 Moldova

    Italy

    A very unfamiliar looking Italy side have hit a pair of quickies against Moldova in Florence.

    Roma's Bryan Cristante, probably the most high profile name in this starting XI, has his first international goal with a near-post header.

    And there's a debut goal for Francesco Caputo. The Sassuolo striker is making his first international appearance at the age of 33.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    A shot from Portugal!

    It's not great though as one-time Swansea loanee and current Lille midfielder Renato Sanches sends an effort from 30 yards well over the goal.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    Dani Olmo floats the ball in from the left but Portugal head away. Spain quickly regain possession as Sergio Canales plays a one-two with Olmo before the latter sweeps a low effort goalwards but too close to Rui Patricio.

    Portugal 0-0 Spain

    The stats tell the story of the game so far with Spain enjoying 59% possession and managing eight shots on goal, three of those on target.

    Portugal are yet to have any effort at all on Kepa's goal.
