03:11 (IST)26 JUN 2016

Youngster Renato Sanches has been named mad of the match!

03:10 (IST)26 JUN 2016

03:05 (IST)26 JUN 2016

Portugal will play Poland in the quarter-finals!!

03:04 (IST)26 JUN 2016

But for Portugal it is just pure joy. This was far from a classic but all that matters is the final scoreline

03:03 (IST)26 JUN 2016

The Croatians are down on the ground in tears!! Dario Srna has probably played his last international game for Croatia!!

03:02 (IST)26 JUN 2016

120 + 2' THAT WAS SO CLOSE!!!! Vida with a left footed volley first time looking for the top right corner but it goes just wide!! And that's it!! The referee has blown his whistle!!

03:00 (IST)26 JUN 2016

120' Free kick for Croatia!! Last 90 seconds of the game!!

03:00 (IST)26 JUN 2016

120' Well we've waited 2 hours for that goal The Croatians are desperate now!

02:58 (IST)26 JUN 2016

119' Corner for Croatia!! 

02:58 (IST)26 JUN 2016

116' Perisic hit the post at one end of the pitch as it looked like they had scored as Portugal poured down on the other end and for the first time the defence are left exposed as Ronaldo's shot is parried right into the path of Quaresma, who just has to head home into an empty net!!

02:56 (IST)26 JUN 2016

115' Quaresma SCORES!!!!!! WHAT A BLOW!!!

02:53 (IST)26 JUN 2016

113' WHAT A MISS! Been a while since I used capital letters. Vida should have put his header in the back of the net but somehow his tendency to not stray from the script of this match has allowed him to miss his target!

02:51 (IST)26 JUN 2016

111' Well if there was something entertaining about this match it has been Nani's lack of composure on the ball as he tries the spectacular overhead but it only ends in spectacular embarrassment!! 

02:49 (IST)26 JUN 2016

109' Rakitic is coming off and is being replaced by Pjaca

02:47 (IST)26 JUN 2016

108' Danilo comes on for Silva

02:47 (IST)26 JUN 2016

107' The teams have just not had the desire to win the match! Fear of losing has been the biggest enemy if anything to the excitement in this game

02:44 (IST)26 JUN 2016

The last 15 minutes of Extra time begins

02:43 (IST)26 JUN 2016

105' We reach the end of the first half of extra time. It's the same old story so far

02:41 (IST)26 JUN 2016

104' Poor end product once again! Perisic has been dull all game. Modric finds him with a ball over the defence but his attempt to put it back across goal is a failed one!

02:39 (IST)26 JUN 2016

103' Corluka is down on the ground and he might have to be taken off here as he recieves treatment

02:38 (IST)26 JUN 2016

102' The Jynx continues as Quaresma slips but still a corner which is thumped away by the Croatian defence

02:37 (IST)26 JUN 2016

101' Portugal have a foul in a good position. Maybe this will finally be the moment?

02:36 (IST)26 JUN 2016

99' To the credit of the supporters, they haven't stopped jumping up and down and keeping the atmosphere party-like 

02:35 (IST)26 JUN 2016

98' Misplaced pass from Adrien Silva! How many times have I said that today. I've lost count!

02:33 (IST)26 JUN 2016

97' Impatient from Perisic! Kalinic is found by Rakitic but his shot is not controlled and just flies into the crowd

02:31 (IST)26 JUN 2016

94' Cheeky! Corluka plays a long ball towards Perisic who tries an instinctive first-time header which just glides over the crossbar. Inventive attempt but Patricio had it covered

02:29 (IST)26 JUN 2016

93' Srna does go for the spectacular and expectantly hits the wall

02:28 (IST)26 JUN 2016

92' Modric fouled by Sanches around 35 yards out from goal. A little too far out for a direct shot

02:26 (IST)26 JUN 2016

Extra time begins

02:25 (IST)26 JUN 2016

Portugal have had their huddle and Ronaldo has said what's needed to be said. Now it has to show on the pitch

02:21 (IST)26 JUN 2016

Peeeeeep! Peeeeeep! Peeeeep! We go to extra time after one of the most uneventful 90 minutes we have seen so far in this tournament!

02:20 (IST)26 JUN 2016

93' Dealt with the Croatian defence and now its at the other end of the pitch. Corner for Croatia!

02:19 (IST)26 JUN 2016

92' Pepe fouled and Portugal have a free-kick. Are we in for a grand stand finish?

02:18 (IST)26 JUN 2016

91' Pepe with a great back heel clearance from a brilliantly whipped in ball!

02:17 (IST)26 JUN 2016

90' 3 added minutes

02:16 (IST)26 JUN 2016

88' Another foul another free kick in the middle of the park! It's a competition of who can commit the most fouls at the moment as we enter into the last minute of the game

02:14 (IST)26 JUN 2016

87' Croatia also making a change. Kalinic coming on for Mandzukic

02:13 (IST)26 JUN 2016

87' Ricardo Quaresma is coming on for Joao Mario

02:13 (IST)26 JUN 2016

86' There still hasn't been a shot on target! None of the big name players have shown up today!

02:11 (IST)26 JUN 2016

85' Last 5 minutes of the game. Is  there a goal in normal time here?

02:06 (IST)26 JUN 2016

79' Rakitic wastes another free kick opportunity as his free kicks floats gently into the crowd

02:04 (IST)26 JUN 2016

77' Ronaldo looks flustered and downbeat on the field. Lack of service plus his own drop in form has led to slight influence in the game

02:02 (IST)26 JUN 2016

75' Poor ball from Rakitic Tries to be clever and drill it low but that's bread and butter for the defence!

02:01 (IST)26 JUN 2016

74' Srna fouled right near the edge of the box by Sanches, Very unnecessary from the youngster

01:58 (IST)26 JUN 2016

71' Perisic attempts a first time volley from a  very difficult angle and it goes way into the third tier

01:57 (IST)26 JUN 2016

69' Renato Sanches wins a foul. So strong in holding the ball. This time Rakitic has to foul the youngster to try and get to the ball

01:54 (IST)26 JUN 2016

68' Both teams definitely doing better in terms of attack in the second half but still no end product!

01:53 (IST)26 JUN 2016

67' Ronaldo chests down a diagonal ball but can't get enough time to bring it down and get a shot away! Vida intercepts in time

01:52 (IST)26 JUN 2016

63' Close!! Nani tries to get on the end of a Ronaldo chip but as he shoulders the ball towards goal, Strinic made contact with the winger and went down in the box. The referee says nothing doing

01:49 (IST)26 JUN 2016

62' ANOTHER GREAT CHANCE! A cross in was aimed at Mandzukic but Vida intervened and headed it agonizingly wide off far post!!
