Portugal 1-0 England
Dany Mota needs treatment after being caught by Ben Godfrey. Godfrey fouls him in the air then stands on his face on the ground. The officials must have deemed it an accident because he's only booked.

Portugal 1-0 England
An England defeat wouldn't eliminate them tonight. But it would mean if Switzerland get a point or more against Portugal, then it wouldn't matter what England do against Croatia in their final game.

Dany Mota
Portugal deservedly take the lead.
Tom Davies loses the ball in midfield and Pedro Goncalves carries it forward 40 yards before feeding Dany Mota, who hits a perfect first-time strike from the edge of the box which clips the inside of the post on its way in.

Almost a wonder goal from Noni Madueke on his England U21 debut. He cuts in from the wing, going past four defenders before shooting over the bar.

Portugal go close. Nice feet from Wolves' Vitinha and he curls just wide from outside the box.

Re: James at 21:00. This strikes of the Seymour Skinner meme - "No, it's the children who are wrong." At the end of the day Boothroyd has butchered the most talented England u21s sides in a generation, and plainly has not given them the motivation or tactical structure to succeed. Last tournament he took a side containing Mount, Foden and Calvert-Lewin out in the group stages, losing to the mighty Romania. This time around, the likes of CHO, Guehi and Jones are likely to have big international futures, and are obviously far more talented than the Swiss team. What's the constant variable? ↑ less

England's best move probably. Eberechi Eze runs forward and plays the ball to Eddie Nketiah. He backheels it across and Dwight McNeil lets it run but Eze just wasn't able to get onto it.

The Sessegnon dynasty on the left side for England U21s is over. Ryan is replaced by Dwight McNeil.

If anyone deserved the half time hook it was Tom Davies who gave the ball away several times..Smith Rowe looked as progressive as anyone out there..
