1': We're off!
13': Ronaldo and Fernandes both whiff on a ball to the back post! Portugal dominating the half so far.
16': Ronaldo goes down, shouts for penalty, ref not impressed
25': Fernandes volleys at goal! Saved by Oblak! And called back for a handball.
31': Big chance for Ronaldo! Still won't happen for him.
32': Vanja Drkušić carded for a dangerous, almost-scissor tackle on Leão
34': Ronaldo with the free kick! Around the wall and just over the bar.
37': Žan Karničnik carded for a deliberate handball on the left side of the box
38': Cheeky moment where the ref has to move Ronaldo's free kick back to where it was and gives him a warning
39': Geez, a Slovenia counter of nowhere. Portugal manages to clear it for a corner.
44': Shot on target by Slovenia from distance! Šeško fires right into Costa's arms though. Slovenia growing into the game.
45+3': Palhinha fires from outside the box and glances it off the outside of the post! And the halftime whistle goes.
HT Portugal 0-0 Slovenia One of the most lopsided matchups on paper, but we're goalless and drawn at the half.
46': We're back!
47': Cancelo fires across face of goal but the cross is cut out, Bernardo tries to fire the rebound but sends it high.
51': Šeško scares Portugal a little but his header loops wide of the back post, and Šporar was offside in the buildup anyway.
55': SAVE! Free kick for Portugal, Ronaldo takes it and somehow gets it around the wall, but Oblak punches it away!
61': A fast break for Slovenia!! Šeško is under pressure but he gets just behind Pepe and fires! Oh but it's well wide.
65': Portugal substitution: Diogo Jota on for Vitinha

82': Pause for a moment as the medics come on the field to tend to Fernandes who got a painful clip in the ankle
87': Slovenia substitution: Benjamin Verbič on for Petar Stojanović
89': Ronaldo takes off and fires from wide! And it's a big save from Oblak! Who admittedly didn't have to move very much to block it.
FT Portugal 0-0 Slovenia We ain't goin nowhere folks
91': We're back!
100': Jon Gorenc Stanković carded for a shirt-pull, I think
