45 mins
|
SAVED at his right post by Vitor Baia - and that's the end of the first half! |
45 mins
|
Arif to take for Turkey... |
45 mins
|
Then Arif goes down under Couto's challenge - penalty!--- |
45 mins

More woe for Turkey - they have a player sent off, another off receiving treatment and now Hakan Sukur is on his knees, injured... |
45 mins
|
Couto is back up but Turkey may have to play out the last seconds of the half with nine men if Ogun can't get back up |

45 mins
|
Hakan Sukur looks to be through but the ref blows for a free-kick - to Turkey! They wanted play waved on... |
45 mins
|
... but Joao Pinto it is who gets the chance to double the score. Rui Costa got the cross in but the striker was moving too quickly to get direction and power on his shot |

Back to the football. Dimas makes a positive run down the left and wins a corner |
40 mins
|
Costinha is the latest to get booked - for a late tackle on Tayfun - and it wouldn't be a surprise to see another red at some stage in this game |
40 mins
|
Who'd be a referee? |
39 mins
|
Rui Costa is the latest to get a yellow card - for arguing with the linesman over a decision. It's all pretty fraught out there at the moment |
38 mins
|
... but Turkey waste the resulting free-kick |
37 mins
|
Arif sets off on a great run down the left but he's blocked by Paulo Bento and Fernando Couto, who gets a(nother) yellow card... |
35 mins
|
Portugal have yet to test Recber since he got his second injury. And with a man down they should be doing better? Well played Turkey |

32 mins
|
Portugal try to make that extra man pay straightaway |
31 mins
|
Alpay is a central defender so Turkey will need to regroup |
30 mins
|
--but the net result is that Turkey are down to ten men with an hour still to play |
29 mins
|
... it was another case of play-acting, which is a shame, but Alpay had raised a hand to his opponent and that's a sending-off offence |
29 mins
|
Then suddenly the ref shows the RED card to Alpay - seemingly for an elbow on Fernando Couto? |
28 mins
|
Joao Pinto is booked for a late foul on Hakan Unsal, but the Turk was, well, 'dramatic' in the way he rolled on the floor |

It's a long time since Vitor Baia saw the ball back in Portugal's goal... |
23 mins
|

17 mins
|
Joao Pinto finds space for a shot from distance but it's never going to trouble Turkey
|
16 mins
|
Recber is fit to continue. It's game on |
16 mins
|
...but the keeper was injured as he collected that ball and now the physio is on to give him treatment |
15 mins
|
... well held by the keeper. Recber really had to reach to hold on to that one |
14 mins
|
Turkey are on the back foot at the moment and the Turks in the crowd don't like it. Corner to Portugal... |
13 mins
|
Hakan Unsal tackles Joao Pinto from behind. We've seen yellow cards for less than that, but the ref doesn't reach for his book |
12 mins

12 mins
|
... but Conceicao over-reaches himself and Turkey can sweep up through Recber |

5 mins
|
Joao Pinto goes down dramatically on the edge of the Turkey area but the ref was on the spot and waved play on - great tackle from Hakan Unsal |
5 mins

|
4 mins
|
Okan gets his head to a wayward cross: sends Turkey's first chance wide |
3 mins
