Roberto Martinez’s Portugal resume Euro 2024 action when they face a captivating Turkey side buoyed by raucous support at the Westfalenstadion on Saturday.
Cristiano Ronaldo and co. got the result they wanted as they squeezed past the Czech Republic with a last-minute 2-1 victory in Leipzig, but their unconvincing performance will give Turkey some hope.
But if that game in Leipzig was a little tepid, Turkey’s first game at Euro 2024 brought all the drama, from biblical storms and pre-match skirmishes to Georgia’s tournament debut and two goal-of-the-tournament contenders.
Those results leave these two sides battling out for control of Group F, with three points for either practically ensuring qualification at the top of the group .
Follow the score and all the latest updates from Turkey v Portugal below – plus the reaction to Georgia v Czech Republic and build-up to Belgium v Romania in the day’s late game:

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic
The Czech Republic are starting to pile on the pressure here, with their latest attack ended for offside despite some great link-up play on the edge of the Georgia box from Cerny.
They attack again and Hlozek breaks through on the left, but his shot is straight at Mamardashvili.

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic
The Czechs get going agains straight away and Schick is in behind, but it’s brilliant defending to slide in and prevent the squared ball across.
Moments later, Hranac does well to slide across and prevent the shot from Kvaratskhelia.

DISALLOWED GOAL! Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic
DISALLOWED GOAL! And the Czech Republic think they have the lead, but it’s chalked off!
The Czechs opt for the long throw and Coufal delivers from the right. It bounces around the box and comes off the back of Kashia, and right into Hlozek’s path. He hits it right at Mamardashvili but it bounces off the ‘keeper and right back onto Hlozek, who bundles it in.
There’s a check for VAR though and it came off his arm after hitting his head, and it’s disallowed!

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic
The Czechs have been better than Georgia when asked to keep the ball and create though, it must be said. They work it well once again around the Georgia box, spreading it wide to Jurasek, but his cross is poor and it’s cut out.

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic
Georgia’s counters are what are really getting the crowd going, but they’ve been assured when keeping possession in and around their own half too.

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic
Time to defend for Georgia as Provod’s shot is blocked shortly before the Czech Republic win a corner.
The cross is swung in and the Czechs get a touch on it, before Mamardashvili punches it away.

Euro 2024: Georgia 0-0 Czech Republic
Georgia are certainly playing with a lot of invention, led by Napoli’s Kvaratskhelia. Another opportunity narrowly breaks down as Kochorashvili can’t reach the lay-off at the edge of the box.
