51'
Podolski tries to get on the end of Ozil's cross, but it has just too much height for his team-mate. Portugal survive.
50'
Better stuff from Portugal after a stodgy start to the match. Miguel penalised for blocking Khedira. A free-kick for Germany out wide.
49'
Ronaldo drives at Boateng, who is in all sorts of trouble. Hummels stands tall to nod the cross over his own bar.
48'
Ronaldo smashes a shot at the German goal, but easy take for Neuer in goal.
47'
Meireles throws himself at Muller's cross as Germany look to strike quickly at the outset of the second period.

There goes the whistle for the break! 0-0 at half-time. Not exactly classic fare. All level.

One minute of time added on.

Pepe hits the underside of the bar! So close to the opening goal. Ball bounced down and back out. Wasn't over the line. On the line. Germany defence caught out from that corner.
42'
German fans ordered to stop throwing plastic cups on the pitch as Badstuber knocks the ball behind for a corner.
41'
Free-kick is drilled straight into the arms of Neuer. Really disappointing finish to that move for Portugal as Ozil runs the ball out of play at the other end.
40'

Nani taken out of the game late by Badstuber as he galloped up a flank. A free-kick and booking for Badstuber.
39'
Joachim Loew visibly frustrated on the Germany bench as Moutinho thrashes a shot wide from distance.
38'

Ball bobbling around that Portuguese box before Muller slaps a shot wide of goal. Dangerous moment, but Portugal survive.
37'
Three of Portugal's past five games have finished 0-0. Ozil and Pepe collide, but Portugal are awarded the goalkick.
36'
Portugal very well organised. That is the best you can say for them as Khedira fires a shot miles over the bar.
35'
Gomez bundles Pepe off the ball as Portugal are awarded a free-kick which Patricio knocks long down the park.
34'
Obviously a warm night in Lviv. Neither team getting any real pace into their play at the key moment. Germany with over 60 percent of possession.
33'
Moutinho goes in late on Schweinsteiger before Coentrão comes up with a timely tackle on Muller.
32'
Ronaldo not getting much change out of Boateng as he tried to dance past him in the box. Clever work by Germany in putting two men on the Real Madrid player.
31'
The Netherlands would probably settle for a draw in this match after their defeat earlier today. Here come Portugal...
