Poland 1-0 Sweden
What have Sweden got about them now?
They were the better side in the first half and looked the more threatening. But they face a real challenge now against a side and in front of a crowd who are bang up for this.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Bruno Fernandes' corner is behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who changes his body shape and heads well over.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Poor cross from Joao Cancelo and a Macedonian defender needlessly puts it behind for another Portugal corner.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Not much has happened in a few minutes in Porto. That suits Portugal although North Macedonia are still in this at 1-0.
GOAL - Poland 1-0 Sweden
Robert Lewandowski
Who else?
Robert Lewandowski makes no mistake. Poland edge ahead in the race to Qatar.
PENALTY TO POLAND
Poland 0-0 Sweden
Now then!
Grzegorz Krychowiak is bundled over in the box and the ref points straight to the spot.
It is a clumsy challenge from Jesper Karlstrom.
Post update
Poland 0-0 Sweden
First chance of the half goes to Sweden, with Dejan Kulusevski set up by Alexander Isak for a first-time shot that is on target but saved.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Bruno Fernandes tries to double his tally with a shot from similar range to the first after shoddy defending but it's straight at the keeper.
KICK-OFF
Poland 0-0 Sweden
Back under way.
Still no Zlatan.
Poland have sent on Grzegorz Krychowiak, though. Jacek Goralski the man to make way.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Couple of early Portugal attacks but they can't get the ball into the box. Diogo Jota gets his feet wrong.
SUBSTITUTION
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
North Macedonia brought on Bojan Miovski for Milan Ristovski at the break.
KICK-OFF
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
The second half is under way.
Post update
HT: Poland 0-0 Sweden
So how long do Sweden wait before sending on Zlatan Ibrahimovic?
If he's fit enough to play 45 minutes, I'd be sending him on for the entire second half.
A bit of composure and class up top could be the difference.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Joao Cancelo fired a shot over the bar from 20 yards just before the half-time whistle.
It was 7-2 on shots in the first half, but the only effort on target was the goal.
HALF-TIME
Poland 0-0 Sweden
Still nothing to separate these two.
It's going to get tense.
HALF-TIME
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
The half-time whistle goes and Portugal are 45 minutes away from Qatar.
Post update
Poland 0-0 Sweden
They're going to carry on regardless of the floodlight problem.
To be fair, it's hardly pitch black.
Post update
Poland 0-0 Sweden
We've got a floodlight issue. Part of the pitch has been thrust into darkness, leading to a delay.
As the old cliche goes, somebody stick a Euro or two in the meter.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Bernardo Silva flicks the ball into the path of Manchester City colleague Joao Cancelo and Portugal win a corner.
Post update
Portugal 1-0 North Macedonia
Good defending by Pepe to stop a Macedonian attack. He turned 39 last month.
