Turkey v Portugal LIVE: Result and reaction as Cristiano Ronaldo’s side win Group F at Euro 2024

Portugal cruised to a 3-0 win against Turkey and booked their spot in the Euro 2024 last 16 as Group F winners thanks to a Bernardo Silva strike, an own-goal by Samet Akaydin and a Bruno Fernandes tap-in.

Silva scored his first goal in a major international tournament in the 21st minute when a cross from Nuno Mendes deflected off a Turkish defender to find the Manchester City forward ghosting alone in the area, who then smashed it past the goalkeeper to put the Portuguese ahead.

Seven minutes later, Turkish defender Akaydin made a comical mistake as he tried to play the ball back to his goalkeeper who was out of position and there was nothing he could to stop it from rolling into the net despite their desperate attempts to keep it out.

Portugal kept dominating and extended their lead after substitute Ruben Neves set Cristiano Ronaldo free with a long ball to beat the offside line and, after drawing in the goalkeeper, squared the ball for Fernandes who only had to tap it into an empty goal.

The win lifts Portugal to a guaranteed first place in Group F on six points, three ahead Turkey in second and five ahead of Georgia and Czech Republic with one game to go.

Romelu Lukaku and Kevin De Bruyne embody the best and worst of Belgium in vital win over Romania

22:03 , Mike Jones

Romelu Lukaku stood with his back not only to goal, but to the raucous mass of crimson behind it. From somewhere within that throng, a plume of red smoke billowed towards the roof of the stadium. It might as well have been a warning to Romania, but just one minute into this critical Euro 2024 clash, they did not have time to heed it.

Lukaku, so often maligned for his endeavours with Belgium, executed his hold-up to perfection, fending off Andrei Burca and cushioning the ball into the stride of Youri Tielemans. The midfielder did the rest, driving the ball low and hard past Florin Nita.

After a shock defeat to Slovakia in their opening match, Belgium needed to come here and get the win. The consequences of beating Romania mean that all four teams in Group E have three points after two games each.

It will be a nail-biting end to the group stages for all of them. Youri Tielemans and Kevin De Bruyne scored the goals, Belgium take the win and move one step closer to the last-16.

21:38 , Mike Jones

82 mins: That goal should be enough for Belgium. There was a VAR check to see whether the goal should stand as De Bruyne was possibly offside.

The result fell Belgium’s way and they have a two goal lead at last.

72 mins: Romania seem to have been buoyed on by that disallowed goal. They’re asking more questions of Belgium and are seeing more and more possession high up the pitch.

This is what they wanted. To take the match deep and hopefully nick an equaliser. Can they pull it off?

Belgium 1-0 Romania

21:24 , Mike Jones

69 mins: Save!

Dennis Man is fed into space and touches the ball into the box. He takes his time and sidefoots a shot at goal only for Koen Casteels to make a fine body stop after closing the angle to the near post!

54 mins: Close! Doku flicks a pass on to De Bruyne making his way up the inside left channel. He cuts to the right and pings a curling shot towards the back post.

There’s just not enough whip on the shot and the ball goes wide. That would have been a scorching goal had it gone in.

Belgium 1-0 Romania

21:07 , Mike Jones

51 mins: Doku, who was so good in the first half, isn’t allowed to come inside this time despite an enterprising run down the line. He finds enough space for a cross though but Nita flaps the ball to the other side of the box.

48 mins: Great start to the second half for Romania. Denis Man takes a shot from range and fizzes an effort into the hands of Koen Casteels.

These are warning signs for Belgium.

20:48 , Mike Jones

45 mins: Belgium were under pressure coming into this match and they put any nerves to bed inside the opening two minutes. Youri Tielemans sent them into the lead and from there, despite some decent attacks from Romania, they’ve had control of the game.

20:43 , Mike Jones

42 mins: Lukebakio lays the ball off to De Bruyne who storms into the box and almost finishes off a slick move from Belgium. De Bruyne falls away as he takes the shot which sofly rolls into the hands of Florin Nita.

Belgium 1-0 Romania

20:28 , Mike Jones

27 mins: The longer Romania can keep the deficit at one the better off they’ll be. That much is obvious but they’ve shown a bit of quality in the final third already and Belgium will become more nervous as the game goes on.

They are desperately trying to add a second here to secure a cushion for themselves. Kevin De Bruyne is brought down and has the chance to deliver a free kick into the box.

Belgium 1-0 Romania

20:25 , Mike Jones

24 mins: Valentin Mihaila gets into the action with a great run down the right side. He scoots across the edge of the box after cutting inside and gets off a shot.

Belgium 1-0 Romania

20:21 , Mike Jones

21 mins: At the other end of the pitch Romania win a free kick that gets driven over to the far post. Radu Dragusin is the target but Arthur Theate beats him in the air and nods the ball behind for a corner.

Solid goalkeeping to keep Romania in the contest.

14 mins: Timothy Castagne gets clear of Nicusor Bancu before lifting a cross into the box. Goalkeeper Florin Nita fumbles the ball and Jeremy Doku collects it.

20:12 , Mike Jones

11 mins: Belgium are almost in again. Jeremy Doku weaves and twists towards the ball from the left wing behind checking inside. He rolls the ball off to Youri Tielemans who goes for goal again but sees his effort blocked this time.

Kick off! Belgium 0-0 Romania

20:01 , Mike Jones

Belgium get the ball rolling in Cologne. The only certain outcome from this match is the Romania will qualify for the knockout rounds if they win.

Belgium will be hoping for a better outing tonight. Kevin De Bruyne goes on an early run but can’t find Romelu Lukaku with a short pass into the box.

Belgium vs Romania

19:55 , Mike Jones

Here come the players.

Kevin De Bruyne has the armband for Belgium and knows that defeat tonight will put his team on the verge of an early exit. The Red Devils were well off it in their opener against Slovakia and are the only team yet to score in the tournament.

Can they get the job done tonight?

Kick off is up next...

The Cristiano Ronaldo circus provokes a serious question over Portugal’s Euro 2024 hopes

19:20 , Mike Jones

As one man took centre stage in a circus, a properly serious team got on with the business of convincingly winning football matches around him. Is this to be the story of Portugal at Euro 2024?

Perhaps it really is the sign of a new team that, as a goal stood at Cristiano Ronaldo’s mercy, he shockingly passed for another player to score. It wasn’t the only moment where he threw back the years. There was also the moment when he beat a defender with a step-over to cross, something he hasn’t actually done in maybe a decade.

For all that such contributions were largely at the fringes of a game, which was already won by the Selecao’s more influential modern players, there is no doubting the main event of Roberto Martinez’s side.

Next up, Belgium take on Romania following their 1-0 loss to Slovakia. The Red Devils suffered a shock loss in their Group E opener and now have to perform against Romania to keep themselves in contention to reach the next round.

Defeat to Romania in Cologne would not eliminate Belgium, but it would be a huge blow to their chances of progressing to the last 16.

For their part, Romania can secure their spot in the knockouts having hammered Ukraine in their opener. It was their first win at the Euros for 24 years. Can they follow up with another one?

18:57 , Mike Jones

Portugal secured qualification for the round of 16 at Euro 2024 with a confident and dominant display against a frazzled and frustrated Turkey.

The Turks should have taken the lead early on following a fine run down the wing from Zeki Celik. A cross curled over to the back post where Kerem Akturkoglu edged ahead of Joao Cancelo only to fluff his shot. It was a great chance missed and Roberto Martinez’s team then took command.

Fernandes plays a ball in to Neto, and there’s space to run into, but his dribbling is poor and he loses it to Demiral.

Portugal counter again, with Joao Neves – who just came on for Vitinha – squaring it to Ronaldo, who lays it off to Silva. The City man takes the shot rather than playing in Fernandes, and the attack ends.

There’ll be five minutes of added time in Dortmund.

18:47 , Chris Wilson

88 mins

Almost brilliant from Portugal as Ronaldo lays it off to Fernandes on the edge of the box. He looks like he’s going to sweep it to the left wing but instead he slips a ball through to the onrushing Silva, who just can’t quite get it under control as Bayindir races off his line.

Portugal are taking it pretty easy now. This game was over as a contest as soon as the third went in, and it’s been pedestrian ever since really.

Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo is looking like the most animated player on the pitch at the moment. You can tell the fact that he hasn’t scored yet is weighing on his mind.

Portugal look more likely to extend their lead than concede at the moment. You wonder whether it’s worth it for Vincenzo Montella to even try getting anything from this now.

GOAL! And that should be that.

Another gift for Portugal, and it’s so simple. Dias has the ball in his own half, close to halfway. He spots Ronaldo making the run, and he’s curved it perfectly to stay onside. He’s one-v-one and squares it to Fernandes, who taps into an empty net.

A disaster of an own goal for Turkey. Portugal attack and it’s ruined at the last after Cancelo’s through ball to Ronaldo is cut out. It runs to Akaydin, and he slips a pass back to Bayindir. But he hasn’t looked to place his pass properly, and it goes straight past Bayindir before rolling into the back of the net!
