FULL-TIME! Scotland can't find the equaliser from the corner, and the referee blows the whistle for full-time. They have lost 2-1 to Portugal, the tournament's lowest ranked team, and their chances of remaining in the competition are now very slim.
90'+4
One final chance for Scotland as they force a corner!
90'+3
Pires has a chance to seal the game for Portugal, but strikes her shot straight into the arms of Fay.

FOUR minutes of additional time to be played at the end of this one. Can Scotland find a goal to save their tournament? They need at least a draw to have any hope of progressing to the quarter finals.

BLOCK!
Portugal are searching for their third goal, and they almost have it. Leite sprints away from her marker and finds Pires at the back post. She takes a touch to set herself up, but sees her shot blocked for a corner.
80'
Scotland now have only 10 minutes to find an equaliser. As it stands, they'll need England to either draw or beat Spain to stay in the tournament. That game starts at 19.45 and you can follow the live text commentary on Eurosport.

Weir, who provided Scotland's equaliser, swings in a dangerous cross but no one can get on the end of it.

GOAL! Scotland 1-2 Portugal.
Substitute Ana Leite scores with what must be her first touches! She speeds away from Barsley before tucking the ball into the bottom corner. It's her first ever international goal in 44 appearances. What a time to get it!
