Hello and welcome to live coverage of the World Cup play-off semi-final between Portugal and Turkey at the Estadio do Dragao!
Portugal suffered a last-minute final day defeat to Serbia in their qualifying campaign; a win that saw Serbia top the group above today's hosts. They were unbeaten in six games in all competitions leading up to that defeat, and are looking to get back to winning ways in an attempt to reach their sixth consecutive World Cup. Turkey won each of their last three qualifying games but left it too late to finish above Netherlands in Group G. They're hoping to make their third-ever World Cup appearance and their first in 20 years since finishing third in 2002.
PORTUGAL STARTING XI (4-4-2): Diogo Costa; Diogo Dalot, Danilo Pereira, Jose Fonte, Raphael Guerreiro; Bernardo Silva, Joao Moutinho, Bruno Fernandes, Otavio; Diogo Jota, Cristiano Ronaldo.
PORTUGAL SUBS: Matheus, Cedric Soares, Vitinha, Andre Silva, Goncalo Guedes, Tiago Djalo, Nuno Mendes, Jose Sa, William Carvalho, Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, Rui Patricio.
TURKEY STARTING XI (3-5-2): Ugurcan Cakir; Ozan Kabak, Merih Demiral, Caglar Soyuncu; Mehmet Zeki Celik, Berkan Kutlu, Orkun Kokcu, Hakan Calhanoglu, Muhammed Kerem Akturkoglu; Cengiz Under, Burak Yilmaz.
TURKEY SUBS: Dorukhan Tokoz, Sinan Bolat, Serdar Dursun, Serdar Aziz, Enes Unal, Caner Erkin, Taylan Antalyali, Kaan Ayhan, Abdulkadir Omur, Altay Bayindir, Mert Muldur, Yusuf Yazici.
The teams are out on the pitch, the national anthems have been sung, and kick-off is just moments away!
Santos' side looked comfortable for the most part, though a few mistakes at the back could've proved costly if Turkey had been more clinical. He'll be hoping for more of the same in the second half though. Turkey had some bright moments, creating some good chances, but Kuntz will be asking for a little bit more if they want to get themselves back into this game.
That's all for today, goodbye!
Portugal are one step closer to the World Cup will play North Macedonia, who scored late to pull off a shock victory against Italy, in the play-off final on Tuesday.
