Hello and welcome to live text commentary of Portugal v Sweden, surely the game of the night in world football? Forget the simplistic Ronaldo v Zlatan (for a moment at least), a place in the World Cup is at stake. I'm Daniel Storey, and I'm guaranteeing goals. Get in touch with me on Twitter @danielstorey85.

90+3'
FULL-TIME - And that's that. Portugal will take a slender lead to Sweden on Tuesday thanks to Ronaldo's late header. Thank you for joining me, and please do give me a follow on Twitter (@danielstorey85). Have a lovely weekend all.
90+2'
Ball drifts out of play before Pereira can get the ball back to Ronaldo to slot home. Last embers of the match.
90+1'
We will have three extra minutes, as you suspect that both sides will take this scoreline.
90'
Ronaldo fires high and not handsome following a cross from Coentrao. Into stoppage time here.
88'
Substitution. Gerndt on for Elmander, who should have been off ten minutes earlier.
86'
Ronaldo penalised for a push in the box when aiming a header at goal.
85'
RONALDO HITS THE BAR! It's an easier header than the one he scores, but heads it against the bar with Isaksson stranded.
83'
The relief around the Estadio da Luz is completely palpable. He's been quiet and frustrated, but you can't keep that man down.
82'
GOAL!!! AND RONALDO SCORES!! A cross from the left finds the forward who bundles home a diving header. Wonderful ball in from Veloso.
81'
The Norwich man is hugely (and I can't state that strongly enough) fortunate to still be on the field, and therefore able to play in the second leg.
80'
Elmander dives in the box. It's blatant and he has already been booked, so why no second yellow?
79'
Out of nowhere, Sweden win a corner, their first of the second half.
78'
Another substitution, the excellent Meireles replaced by Josue.
78'
Appears that Johan Elmander was also booked for his dissent to the referee in that Ronaldo incident. Unnecessary.
77'
Kallstrom comes off, to be replaced by Anders Svensson, winning cap number 147. Total clearance.
77'
Almost nothing in it, actually.
76'
Ronaldo is booked for raising his foot on Andreas Isaksson. Looked pretty harmless, to be honest, and possibly even accidental.
75'
Ronaldo attempts a cheeky flick from a Meireles shot. It is saved by Isaksson, but Ronaldo relaised he was well offside.
73'
Cross to Ronaldo, wonderfully taken off his head by Lustig. Sweden defending quite brilliantly here.
72'
Pontus Wernbloom on for Elm for Sweden.
