Ronaldo picks up the rebound and tries to backheel an effort past the keeper from a tight angle, but Maignan is equal to it.
France happy to sit back
60 mins
The second half has started exactly how the first half did. Little urgency so far, with the frontmen too isolated on both sides.
France are happy to sit back and absorb the Portuguese pressure, and they almost pay the price as Leao drives into the box past Jules Kounde, but Camavinga does so well to dive in and divert the ball in for a corner.

28 mins:
Good work by Rafael Leao down the left to beat Jules Kounde and win a corner.

France lack ideas in the final third
