Turkey v Portugal LIVE: Score updates as Ronaldo leads Selecao at Euro 2024

Good play from Turkey as Ayhan plays it across to Akgun in the box, but he can’t get the shot away.

Vitinha wins a free-kick in his own half after Kokcu was too eager with the press.

Portugal attack well and Fernandes lines up a shot from distance, but it’s blocked.

Instant boos whenever Portugal get on the ball.

Portugal have the first meaningful attack as Bernardo Silva clips a hopeful ball across to Ronaldo. He manages to get to it to hit the volley cleanly, but it’s straight at Bayindir.

Portugal get us underway in Dortmund! Let’s hope it’s even half as exciting as Turkey’s first match.

The atmosphere at the Turkey v Georgia game was said to be like that of a Turkey home game, and it looks like it’ll be the same today after hearing that rendition of the national anthem.

Dortmund’s Yellow Wall is a red one once again, and we’re moments from kick-off at the Westfalenstadion.

The two teams are emerging from the tunnel, and the national anthems will be underway shortly.

10 minutes away from kick-off in Dortmund.

Both sides are vying for control of Group F, with a win for either side taking them three points ahead of second place and assuring them first place in the group.

Portugal ans Turkey have met a total of nine times, with Turkey winning just two and Portugal winning the other seven.

Remarkably, three of their previous meetings have come in European Championship matches.

Portugal won 1-0 at the group stage phase at Euro ‘96, and then won 2-0 at the quarter-finals of Euro 2000.

The next game between the two sides came at Euro 2008, when Pepe and Raul Meireles scored in a 2-0 group-stage win.

Turkey last beat Portugal in a friendly in 2012, when a Pepe own goal contributed to a 3-1 win.

Here’s the match report from Turkey’s opening game.

You’d be forgiven for having earmarked Turkey vs Georgia as the most low-key fixture of the Euro 2024 group stage. After all, the combined ranking of the teams was the most modest at the tournament so far, and Georgia entered Group F with no European Championship experience to their name. This game, though? It turned into something far beyond a football match.

But when that violence began, as water spilt through the roof of the arena and fans spilt from their seats to attack one another, questions arose. Would the game go ahead, and if it were to, would it even resemble a football match?

To say the tension could be cut with a knife would be to give unnecessary credit to knives. You could have lacerated the tension with a balloon.

It felt as though everything could come crashing down at any moment, courtesy of the slightest move or even thought. It felt as if a foul on the pitch could incite a riot, such was the air of hostility, yet thankfully the violence in the stands did seem to have subsided by kick-off.
