- 90'+2'That's all for now though, goodbye!
- 90'+2'The result means that Portugal take control of their Nations League group with two wins from two, while Sweden drop to the bottom of the table with their second defeat during the international break.
- 90'+2'Portugal claim a 2-0 victory in Sweden after Ronaldo netted his 100th international goal. Sweden started the contest brightly and should have taken the lead early on through Berg, but Portugal quickly wrestled control and after Svensson was awarded his second yellow card they dominated the game. Ronaldo claimed both goals: the first - his landmark moment - was a wonderful, swerving free-kick just before half-time, while his second was a neat curling effort on 72 minutes. From there, Sweden did well to limit the damage, but Portugal will be extremely pleased with their victory and performance today.
- 90'+2'FULL TIME: Sweden 0-2 Portugal
- 90'+1'Two minutes of stoppage time are added.
- 90'Kulusevski has been bright today, but he's replaced now by Ekdal as the game ticks into the 90th minute.
- 88'Joao Felix is desperate to find the net tonight, but his latest opportunity is foiled as Olsen tips his drilled effort from 25 yards wide of the near post.
- 86'Joao Felix is booked for a a trip on Olsson near the centre-circle.
- 85'Joao Felix almost makes it three! Portugal hit the hosts on the counter and quickly create a three-on-three that culminates with Jota flashing a shot across the face of goal that Joao Felix almost taps in at the back post with a desperate lunge that's just mistimed.
- 82'Joao Felix is still full of energy and he almost pressures a backtracking Augustinsson into a mistake, but the full-back just about manages to poke it back to Olsen before losing his balance.
- 81'Ronaldo is replaced by Jota after his momentous evening.
- 79'Forsberg is replaced by Svanberg on Sweden's left flank.
- 77'Sweden win another free-kick just outside the box at a tight angle, but Forsberg wastefully hits it straight into the wall.
- 75'Portugal search for a third as Joao Felix rifles a powerful effort from 25 yards that Olsen scrambles to gather at the second attempt.
- 73'Moutinho is replaced in midfield by his club teammate, Neves.
- 72'Joao Felix has been lively after a quiet second half and he gets an assist for his efforts, after playing a neat ball into Ronaldo, before the attacker curled in a beautiful finish.
- 72'RONALDO GETS ANOTHER! 2-0! That should be the win secured for Portugal now, as Ronaldo receives a pass from Joao Felix, before cutting inside and curling a deft finish into far corner from 20 yards!
- 71'Isak makes way for Quaison after a promising display up top for Sweden.
- 69'Portugal may have produced 16 shots so far, but a lot of them have been wasteful. They've taken 8 shots from outside the box and with a little more patience, they could have attempted to break Sweden down in these situations.
- 67'Joao Felix and Ronaldo play a smart one-two on the edge of the box and the former almost latches onto the return ball, but Jansson brilliantly holds him off and earns a goal kick for the hosts.
- 65'The hosts are still winning plenty of free-kicks to build upon in the Portugal half; the latest of which is fired well wide by Forsberg from more than 30 yards.
- 63'Sweden make a rare foray forward through Isak down the left-wing and the attacker glides past Cancelo before having a shot blocked by Pepe on the edge of the box.
- 61'Fernandes hits the bar! Portugal can't quite find that second goal to finish the game off, as Guerreiro dances down the left flank before scooping a cross into the path of Fernandes who flicks it onto the bar from close range!
- 58'Sweden have a rare opportunity to push forward as Forsberg lines up a free-kick near the touchline, but his delivery is hacked clear by Dias.
- 57'Ronaldo jinks easily past Krafth and gets to the byline to force another corner that amounts to nothing.
- 56'Guerreiro is shown a yellow card for a cynical trip on Kulusevski.
- 56'The away side have been in total control in this second half and it looks like a matter of time before they add to their lead.
- 54'Portugal methodically work their way forwards again and a flowing move ends with Cancelo cutting it back to Joao Felix on the edge of the area, where the attacker blasts a wild effort over the bar.
- 51'Another corner for the away side drops to Moutinho on the edge of the box and the midfielder hits a looping half-volley that sails a couple of yards over the bar.
- 45'+3'With 10 men, Sweden will find it difficult to get anything from this game now, but they'll at least hope to limit an in-form Portugal in the second period.
- 49'Despite featuring on the left of Portugal's front three, Ronaldo has been their focal point going forward today. The attacker has already taken four shots as well as supplying 12 passes in Sweden's half.
- 45'+3'Portugal take a 1-0 lead into the break against Sweden through Ronaldo's 100th international goal. The hosts started brightly and should have quickly taken the lead through Berg's close-range header, but as the half continued their dominance waned. Portugal began to control possession and build pressure: first they forced Svensson into two challenges that earnt him a couple of yellow cards and a red, before Ronaldo gave the away side the lead with a sublime free-kick that left Olsen with no chance just before the interval.
- 45'+3'HALF TIME: Sweden 0-1 Portugal
- 47'The away side immediately push forward as Cancelo charges into the Sweden half before hanging up a cross to the back post that Helander just about manages to poke out of Ronaldo's orbit.
- 45'+2'Well, Portugal - even before the red card - were piling the pressure on Sweden and it's no surprise that they've managed to open the scoring. With just 10 men, this could be a difficult evening for the hosts now.
- 46'Portugal get the second half underway.
- 45'RONALDO OPENS THE SCORING! 1-0! He's got that 100th international goal - and what a way to do it! Ronaldo steps up to take the resulting free-kick and arrows a powerful, curling effort from 25 yards, over the wall and into the far left corner beyond a helpless Olsen!
- 44'Svensson is shown a red card! The midfielder was booked for an earlier foul on Fernandes and receives his second yellow after lunging into a late challenge on Moutinho! He protests to the referee, but he can have little complaint about that decision.
- 42'Portugal work another fine move with a series of intricate passes on the edge of the area, before Guedes scurries to the byline where he hammers a wayward cross out of play.
- 40'Brilliant save from Olsen! Ronaldo's 100th international goal will have to wait, as he latches onto Fernandes' perfect throughball down the line, before racing into the area and lashing a fierce drive from a tight angle that the goalkeeper just about manages to deflect over the bar!
- 38'Olsson lets fly from 25 yards, but his stabbed volley lacked power and Lopes calmly gathers the effort.
- 36'Sweden's defence have made life difficult for Joao Felix in this first half and the attacker's frustration grows as Dias' attempted throughball is overhit and runs through to Olsen.
- 34'Berg tries to drive forward for the hosts, but Pereira steps in to wrestle the attacker off the ball and kickstart another attack for Portugal.
- 32'This time it's Sweden's turn to enjoy a corner, and Isak manages to flick Forsberg's delivery on at the near post, but it loops over everyone and away for a throw-in to the visitors.
- 30'Portugal go close again! Ronaldo drives past Krafth and gets to the byline where he clips a dangerous cross into the six-yard box that Jansson brilliantly heads clear, just before Fernandes arrived to poke in!
- 28'Portugal have started to control the game in the last ten minutes: they're keeping possession much more effectively and it's enabling them to slowly build pressure on the hosts.
- 26'Strong save from Olsen! Fernandes whips in another corner for Portugal towards the front post, where Ronaldo is well placed to drive a low shot from close range that Olsen blocks instinctively with his feet!
- 24'Fernandes looks like Portugal's most creative option today, but he's been fairly wasteful so far: the attacking midfielder has already lost possession five times in the opening 25 minutes.
- 22'Silva departs with Guedes replacing him on the right of Portugal's front three.
- 22'Silva is down injured after that period of play and it immediately appears as though he'll be substituted as a precautionary measure.
- 21'Pepe almost opens the scoring! Portugal finally put together a spell of pressure, that culminates with Silva curling in a devious cross that drifts invitingly towards the back post where Pepe stretches, but can't quite make contact to tap it in.
- 20'Portugal force their first corner of the game and Fernandes swings in a deep cross that falls to Guerreiro on the edge of the area, where the defender has a fierce shot deflected wide.
- 18'Sweden have largely controlled this game so far. Their compact 4-4-2 formation has suffocated Portugal going forward and they've looked neat - if a little ponderous - in possession. Nevertheless, the hosts only have Berg's early chance to show for their efforts currently.
- 16'Kulusevski drops his shoulder and shimmies into space past Guerreiro, before slipping a neat reverse pass towards Isak who's expertly shepherded away from goal by Pepe.
- 14'Fernandes gallops past Svensson near the halfway line, provoking a mistimed challenge that produces a yellow card.
- 13'Portugal manage to break away through Silva and he attempts to thread a crafty throughball into the path of Joao Felix, but Helander does well to slide across and intercept the danger.
- 11'Forsberg cuts inside from the left flank before whipping in a wasteful cross that loops over everyone and away for a goal kick.
- 9'Isak makes another enterprising run into the Portugal area and he approaches the penalty spot before Pepe races in to clear it to Forsberg, whose resulting cross is nodded away by Dias. Nevertheless, Sweden will be pleased with their start so far.
- 7'Portugal make their first attacking foray of the game as Ronaldo darts inside and runs at Krafth, but the defender manages to poke it away from the attacker and Sweden clear.
- 5'Sweden continue to impose themselves on the away side, as Isak pressurises Cancelo into conceding a dangerous throw-in that doesn't quite come to anything.
- 4'Jansson is down in the area after colliding with Helander moments before Berg's chance, but it looks as though it's just a minor injury and he should be able to continue.
- 2'Berg wastes a huge chance! The hosts start brightly and immediately force a throw-in deep inside the Portugal half that Krafth hurls into the box, where it bounces dangerously before Berg cushions a header narrowly wide from close range!
- 1'Sweden get the first half underway.
- -The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
- -Today could mark a special moment for Ronaldo: the legendary attacker currently has 99 career international goals and he’s all set to become just the second male footballer to ever reach 100!
- -Portugal, meanwhile, make just one change following their victory over Croatia – Jota is moved to the bench, with Ronaldo replacing him.
- -Sweden make six changes to the side that lost to France last time out. There are wholesale changes to the defence as Ludwig, Lindelof and Bengtsson all make way, meanwhile Larsson and Ekdal drop out of the midfield, with Isak also replacing Quaison up top.
