New Zealand v Portugal - As it happened

The end

Portugal are through to the semi-finals after putting four past New Zealand. Ronaldo opened the scoring from the spot, before Bernardo Silva fired home from close range. Andre Silva and Nani closed the scoring late in the second half.

Portugal get a fourth!

Just as the board goes up to announce 3 minutes of added time, Nani gets his goal. The winger stepped over the ball and danced his way into the box before firing a low-shot across with his left foot.

New Zealand close!

Rui Patricio saves with his leg as Boxall attempted to fire home from close range.

What a goal from Andre Silva. The striker ran at the defence who could do nothing to stop him as he rushed into the box and fired past Marinovic.

GOAL!

Nani wide!

The winger cut inside from the left, and decided to go alone, but his curling effort is a couple of yards wide of the far post.

Portugal knocking the ball about

They have surely won it, and the difference is not bigger only thanks to some great interventions from Marinovic.

For a late tackle on Doyle.

Half time

New Zealand could not keep up the pressure, and they now trail 0-2. Ronaldo scored the first from the penalty spot before Bernardo Silva finished into an empty net to give his side some breathing space.

Portugal double their lead!

Another goal for Portugal, but it has come at a cost. Eliseu got to the byline and pulled the ball back for Bernardo Silva to finish. The new City signing twisted his ankle as Doyle tried to block him, but it looks like he will continue.

News from the other fixture

News comes in that Russia have taken the lead against Mexico, which means that the hosts are now group leaders, while Portugal remain second.

Ronaldo again!

Now Portugal are turning the screw, and Ronaldo comes close again with a header that rattled the bar.

Ronaldo first warning!

The captain gets on the end of a cross from Cedric, but he can only direct his header down into the centre of the goal. That's the first bit of space Ronaldo has found.

Yellow card Semedo

For a foul on Doyle.

Yellow card Lewis

For a foul on Eliseu, who was darting upfield.

New Zealand looking bright

The Kiwis have been sensational in the opening minutes, pestering Portugal to the point that Santos' team are not managing to get close to Marinovic.

Danilo gets a boot in the face

The midfielder goes down after Smith unintentionally caught him with the studs. He's fine to carry on.

First shot New Zealand

Rather surprisingly, it's the Kiwis who deliver the first blow, Wood turning in the box but his shot is straight at Patricio.

Even in the first few minutes

First possession for Portugal, but New Zealand will not be backed into a corner. It will be hard for them to keep up the pressure for 90 minutes though...

Portugal get the ball rolling!

Captains Wood and Ronaldo shake hands

The captains salute the officials.

Everything ready!

The stage is set for the final group match as the players shake hands before getting underway. Kick off moments away.

National anthem time!

Another international goal for Ronaldo?

His tally as of now stands at 74 goals in 141 games for Portugal. Could he get another today?

Portugal depend on themselves

Ronaldo scored his first goal in the tournament against Russia, and his team cannot afford to relax if they want to make it through to the semi-finals.
