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:

Turkey fans and players alike are feeling a little hard done by, and there are plenty of boos and whistles ringing around the BVB Stadion after Palhinha stops a counter. The Fulham man also gets booked.
Turkey can’t make anything of the free-kick though, and Portugal will look to see out the half.
We’ll have one minute of added time.

GOAL! Turkey 0-2 Portugal
GOAL! Oh my word, what has happened there!?!
A disaster of an own goal for Turkey. Portugal attack and it’s ruined at the last after Cancelo’s through ball to Ronaldo is cut out. It runs to Akaydin, and he slips a pass back to Bayindir. But he hasn’t looked to place his pass properly, and it goes straight past Bayindir before rolling into the back of the net!
