The match is under way in Sochi! It's Portugal against Spain in Group B of the 2018 World Cup.

This match-up disappointed at the last World Cup. However, surely we will see some goals, some entertainment, tonight. Portugal and Spain have so much quality between them.
18:45
Until the drama around Lopetegui drama this week, the biggest problem Spain had was over who to play up front. Costa has got the nod over Aspas and Rodrigo. His international scoring record isn't great.

All eyes will be on Ronaldo as he faces many of his Real Madrid teammates on the Spanish side. The Portuguese forward actually only has three goals in his last three World Cups.
18:30
Porutgal come into this World Cup as the reigning European champions, although not many expect them to compete for this tournament. Might they might a run into the latter rounds, though?

Of course, it's impossible to talk about this match without mentioning the mayhem that has taken hold of the Spain camp in the last few days. Hierro will take charge of the team following Lopetegui's sacking.
18:15
So the big team news for Spain is that Carvajal has missed out through injury and so Nacho starts at right back. In midfield, Koke is favoured over Thiago. And Costa starts up front.
