Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
Five minutes of additional time to come as we tick past the 90.
Are we heading for a few more after that in extra time?
Post update
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Turkey need a goal but cannot get the ball at the moment.
And now Cristiano Ronaldo has a chance to finish it... but he can only tickle the loose ball with a toe nail from inside the six-yard box!
SUBSTITUTION
Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
Italy are chasing that elusive goal, so they bring on veteran defender Giorgio Chiellini.
Perhaps the 37-year-old can bring the experience to drag his younger comrades over the line?
Post update
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
We're into stoppage time... five minutes added on.
Post update
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
There was a huge, collective sigh of relief in Porto - and around the rest of the country no doubt - when Burak Yilmaz missed that penalty.
Portugal should really have put this game to bed long ago.
Post update
Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
Italy are in but Lorenzo Pellegrini fizzes the ball across goal rather than shooting himself.
All it needs is a touch by a blue shirt, but it's cleared by a red one at the back post.
Big chance.
MISSED PENALTY
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Burak Yilmaz fails to convert from the spot!
The veteran Turkey forward leans back and fires over the crossbar.
What a let-off for Portugal!
PENALTY TO TURKEY
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
What a huge chance for the visitors! It's Enes Unal who is caught by Jose Fonte inside the box.
Post update
Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
Shot number 29 fired over the bar by Giacomo Raspadori. Incidentally, only five of those attempts have been on target.
One of those nights for the European champions.
Video Assistant Referee
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Hello! No one saw that in real time but there is a VAR check ongoing on a potential Turkey penalty... the referee is going to the monitor. This could be huge.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Changes for both sides, as Yazici and Tokoz come on for Turkey.
Bruno Fernandes is replaced for Portugal, who bring on William Carvalho.
Post update
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Cristiano Ronaldo puts Caglar Soyuncu under pressure and wins a throw-in that gets the home crowd going. Joao Felix then almost wriggles through but is denied by a sliding Demiral.
Post update
Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
The Italian national anthem rings around the stadium as the fans attempt to inspire their players.
It's been all Italy but they are yet to penetrate this stubborn North Macedonia defence.
Post update
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Lovely ball from Raphael Guerreiro and it finds the head of Otavio, who can only guide his effort wide. Just under 15 minutes to go!
Post update
Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
As the camera in Palermo pans to Roberto Mancini and his staff on the Italy bench, you can see the frustration on their faces.
A nervous energy begins to set in around the ground.
Post update
Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
Into the final 20 minutes and perhaps Italy are beginning to tire?
They are lacking the same urgency in their play as the red wall seems impenetrable.
On we go...
Post update
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Hakan Calhanoglu sees his name in lights and decides to lash a bouncing ball goalwards from way outside the box, but it bobbles harmlessly wide.
SUBSTITUTION
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Joao Felix is on for Portugal, he replaces Diogo Jota.
Post update
Portugal 2-1 Turkey
Now it's Turkey looking dangerous. Burak Yilmaz fires wide before then getting in behind and thinking he should have a penalty, but there's nothing doing - he went down very easy there...
Post update
Italy 0-0 North Macedonia
Alessandro Bastoni leaps into the air but his header is straight at Stole Dimitrievski.
Goals flying in all over Europe but we still await the first one in Palermo.
