Portugal v France Live: Score and latest goal updates from the crucial Euro 2024 quarter-final

Leao gets a good run down the left but it’s to no avail.

France try to mount a counter, but Joao Palhinha – who is close to a move to Bayern, according to reports – is there to intercept.

France have looked the sharper of the two sides so far, but haven’t had chances to look out for yet.

It’s France with all the early possession, and they make their first trip into the box, but Kolo Mwani wastes the ball in the middle.

Kick-off! We are walking in Hamburg.

Ronaldo and Mbappe exchange pennants and toss a coin. Mbappe tries to hide his excitement and he does it well.

And now the first moments of kick-off.

The teams are outside the tunnel and national anthems are being played in Hamburg.

The second quarter-final match at Euro 2024 is just minutes away.

Below you can see the reaction to the first quarter-final as the hosts lost.

The Selecao started the tournament in incredible fashion, beating the Czech Republic 2-1. They convincingly beat Turkey in their second game before losing 2-0 to Georgia, already qualified.

Their last q6 game was a similarly scrappy affair at times, with a 0-0 draw eventually salvaged by Diogo Costa, who saved three penalties in a row to send his side through to the last eight.

Like Portugal, France was also unreliable at times. They beat Austria 1–0 with an own goal and drew 0–0 with the Netherlands.

In their last group game, they drew 1-1 with Poland thanks to a Mbappe penalty, before a Jan Vertonghen own goal sent Belgium into the last eight.

A reminder of tonight’s team news – Portugal are unchanged, while Kamavinga and Kolo Mwani come on for Les Bleus.

Portugal XI: beach; Cancelo, Diaz, Pepe, Mendes; Vidinha, Palhinha; Bernardo, Fernandez, Leo; Ronaldo

France XI: Mignon; Count, Upamecano, Saliba, Hernandez; Tchouameni, Kante, Camavinga; Griezmann; Colonel Mwani, Mbabane
