Minutes later, Isco was inches away from giving Spain the lead. 78 min: Despite their double-substitution, things haven't improved for Portugal. Conspiracy theorist Dale K Privet writes again: "No proper replay for the red card incident, either," he observes. According to BBC commentator Jonathan Pearce, Ronaldo, who hasn't had a touch yet in this second half, looks across to the bench and gestures as if to say: "What way are we supposed to play now?". 48 min: The second half has picked up where the first left off, at a snail's pace with Spain pressing and probing, trying unsuccessfully to find an opening, with Portugal defending patiently and resolutely, content to attack on the break. Summary; H2H Comparison; Commentary; Venue ... 29 June 2010 Kick-off 20:30. he asks. On BBC, Alan Shearer is going out on a limb: "I just think Spain will edge it," he says. It beats the previous record, which was Rob Rensenbrink in June 1978 for the Netherlands against Iran (30y 335d). They'll play Paraguay in the quarter-final and will be white-hot favourites to beat them and set up a semi-final against Argentina or Germany.

In the Portugal dug-out, Carlos Queiroz moves Cristiano Ronaldo back to the right wing. Cristiano Ronaldo captains European champions Portugal against a Spain side featuring three of his Madrid team-mates. With a head of steam, the Spanish pressed forward as Villa came close to opening the score on a drive that trickled just wide of the Portuguese net.\r\rVilla would be rewarded for his industry moments later on a great passing play by Spain. 73 min: Xabi Alonso picks up Spain's first yellow card of the competition for a late tackle on Pedro Mendes.

Tiago gallops into the box and leaps into the air, flashing a header across the face of goal and wide. 67 min: Say what you like about the long ball game, but doing a minute-by-minute report on a match involving Blackburn Rovers v Liverpool is a lot easier than writing one on a match involving Spain, Barcelona or Arsenal.

The talismanic striker's first effort was saved by Eduardo, who could only parry the ball into Villa's path.

Watch the 2010 Spain vs. Portugal World Cup Round of 16 full match held at Green Point (Cape Town) on Footballia Xavi slid the ball out wide to Villa on the left-side of the penalty area. Hierro's side were starting to dominate the ball, with Isco their main threat. With Carles Puyol aware that Ronaldo is lurking behind him, he sticks out a leg and the ball loops up in the air, over Iker Casillas's head and bounces inches wide of the post.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a dramatic late free-kick to complete his first World Cup hat-trick and rescue a point for Portugal after a thrilling 3-3 draw against Spain in Sochi.

Before the ball came in from the left, Costa turned his head to see where Capdevila was standing, then violently swung his elbow back in a bid to hit him just as they went to contest the high ball. The referee would have none of it as the former World Player of the year threw up his arms in frustration.\r\rThings went from bad to worse for Portugal in the 88th minute as defender Ricardo Costa was shown a straight red by the referee for an elbow to the side of the head of Capdevilla. "He might not play in the Best League in the World (TM), but Euro 2008, World Club Championship, and Confederations Cup have taken their toll.". "The Portuguese girlfriend wasn't too pleased with the BBC saying the same thing. Spain conceded a penalty goal in the fourth minute, just the fourth time a penalty had been scored inside the opening four minutes of a World Cup game.

Spain clear. 19 min: From about 40 yards from the Spain goal, out on the right flank, Ronaldo stands over the free-kick, before failing to trouble Iker Casillas despite hitting the target. Did it take a deflection?

Spain substitution I didn't get around to mentioning a couple of minutes ago: Villa off, Pedro on. Spain, who lost their manager Julen Lopetegui on the eve of the tournament, were seemingly heading towards victory after coming from behind twice to lead 3-2 with just minutes remaining, but Ronaldo, who became the first player to score in eight consecutive major tournaments, denied them right at the death on Friday night.
