Turkey 0-0 Portugal

12. Portugal take charge of the ball, and there's an easy way to tell that's the case - the cacophony of boos and whistles from the Turkish masses that greet Portuguese possession.

Turkey 0-0 Portugal

10. Turkey are finding plenty of room down the right, and are enjoying themselves for it.

Akgun races on to a pass down the line, leaving the 41-year-old Pepe in his wake.

Unfortunately for the Turkish midfielder, he then slips on to his backside, allowing the veteran defender to recover.

Turkey 0-0 Portugal

8. Ronaldo involved again.

He fails to control a cross from the left, but picks himself up quickly and rushes back into the danger area.

Another delivery quickly comes across the right that has the captain jumping, glancing, and ultimately taking it away from the better-placed Fernandes.

Turkey 0-0 Portugal

6. Akturkoglu must score! No!

The forward gets in front of his marker at the far post to meet a pinpoint cross from the right, but somehow fails to nudge it beyond Diogo Costa from four yards out.

Turkey 0-0 Portugal

4. Turkey are once again roared on by an absurdly huge support, both inside and outside the BVB Stadion.

They're in buoyant mood too as Bardakci has their first attempt of the game, a shot that's blocked at close quarters.

Turkey 0-0 Portugal

2. It didn't take Ronaldo long to register his first attempt at goal.

The Portuguese legend gets on the end of Silva's cross from the left to shin a volley straight at Bayindir.

Kick-off - Turkey v Portugal

1. Peeeeep! Felix Zwayerblows his whistle and - eventually - Bruno Fernandes get this match up and running.

Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Baris Alper Yilmaz were a little too eager to get going, sprinting off into opposing halves before the Manchester United captain had kicked-off.

Here come the two teams!

The pressure should be off with these two teams sat so favourably in Group F, but then there is always pressure when Cristiano Ronaldo leads a team out.

The old goat emerges from the tunnel alongside counterpart Hakan Calhanoglu with a face as focused as if this was the final itself.

The evening sun is shining down upon the BVB Stadion, let's hope the upcoming football shines as brightly as it did in the group's earlier game between Georgia and Czechia.

Kick-off comes next.

Countdown to kick-off

It's almost time in Dortmund.

The Yellow Wall is very much red today, but the atmosphere is fitting as when Borussia are at home.

Winners will top the group

After Georgia and Czech Republic played out a thrilling draw in Hamburg earlier today, Turkey and Portugal now have the chance to seal progression to the Last 16.

In fact, should either side win this afternoon then they will ensure that they top Group F.

Ron wanting to get it right

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo has scored an incredible 130 goals for his country - but remarkably none of those have ever come against Turkey.

The 39-year-old has blanked in three previous matches against them, only facing Albania more (4) without finding the back of the net.

Young Turks out to make history

After winning their opening game of Euro 2024 in dramatic style again Georgia, Turkey have their eyes on a new landmark.

The Crescent-Stars have never won their first two fixtures at a major tournament, but Vincenzo Montella's young guns are eager to set the record straight.

History and defence on Portugal's side

This evening's encounter in Dortmund will be the fourth meeting between Turkey and Portugal at the European Championship.

The Portuguese have won all three of the previous meetings in the tournament - all without conceding a single goal.

They first triumphed 1-0 in the group stage of Euro '96, and then prevailed 2-0 four years later in the quarter-finals of Euro 2020.

The most recent Euros fixture between the two was a 2-0 success for the Selecao, once again in the groups at Euro 2008.

Fans take over Signal Iduna Park

Borussia Dortmund fans often make a racket at their Signal Iduna Park stadium - and it seems certain Portugal and Turkey fans will do the same for their clash this afternoon.

Guler left on bench

Arda Guler has to settle for a spot on the bench following injury worries in the week.

The Real Madrid youngster was the star of the show in Turkey's Euro 2024 opener against Georgia.

Guler bagged a goal in a 3-1 win in their first game of Group F.

What is the team news?

Turkey are unlikely to change a winning formula after their strong performance against Georgia.

İrfan Can Kahveci, who missed that game through injury, is still doing light training so is unlikely to return to the fold.

Meanwhile, Portugal may see fit to tweak their tactics after they had to throw the kitchen sink in their first game to get anything from it.

Goncalo Inacio could be a more natural fit for the team if they elect to switch to a back four, likely with Diogo Dalot dropping out

Brilliant Bruno

While Ronaldo is leading the line for his nation once again, it it the stars around him carrying the load of the performance.

That includes midfielders such as Bruno Fernandes, who is among the most dangerous creative players in the world.

22nd Jun 2024, 15:41By Nyle Smith

Amazing Arda

At just 19 years old, Real Madrid star Guler is carrying the hopes of his country on his shoulders.

His screamer against Georgia showed he is not one to shy away from the occasion, and a strong performance against Portugal will be vital if they are to get anything from the game.

Welcome to Turkey vs Portugal

This is the big one from Group F! Portugal vs Turkey and SunSport will have the entire coverage through our live blog.

Both European giants got off to winning stars which makes this Euro 2024 fixture perfectly poised.

Turkey top the group on goal difference after a 3-1 win over Georgia on match one.

And they are hoping that they can beat their best ever result at a Euros which is a semi-final in 2008, and it is ironic that a year when no one considered them dark horses.

Portugal's opening game proved to be a far harder road to victory.

They went a goal behind against the Czech Republic before managing to get back into the game through an own goal minutes later.

They had the ball in the net through Diogo Jota before the goal was ruled out for offside against Cristiano Ronaldo, whose presence on the pitch appeared to suffocate the attacking impetus of the team.

But super-subs Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceicao combined off the bench to win the game and grab three crucial points for Portugal.
