00:00Well, for Germany, they're rolling out a 3-4-2-1.
00:09Vultimata getting the start up front.
00:10His first ever match for Germany.
00:13The 100-cap man, the captain, Joshua Kimmich,
00:16got a nice little introduction and ceremony before the match.
00:19And boy, would he love to get the big win in this one.
00:22Zane and Wirtz will be floating underneath Vultimata up front.
00:26And for Portugal, a couple of different changes for them.
00:29Two players starting that recently won the UEFA Champions League with PSG.
00:34Bernardo Silva, fresh off of his 100th cap for Portugal.
00:37He starts in the middle of the field.
00:39As ever, Cristiano Ronaldo up front.
00:42220th appearance for him, sitting on 136 goals.
00:46And boy, would he love to add to that tally here tonight in Germany.
00:50We are one year and one week away from the beginning of the World Cup
00:54back home in North America.
00:57And so what a wonderful opportunity for the very best of Europe
01:00to lay down a marker to make it clear to everyone else in the world
01:03they should be considered a favorite to win that World Cup next year.
01:08As we are underway.
01:11Kind of a phenomenal atmosphere and a bit more of a mix of fans
01:15than we would have thought here in Munich.
01:17Germany wearing special jerseys, honoring the 125th anniversary of their federation.
01:22It's going to come back for Bernardo Silva.
01:27Nitro Neto now against the German captain, Joshua Kimmich.
01:30Neto to the byline, fires that cross in.
01:32It's sent in behind.
01:35Kovacovic, just his second career start for Germany,
01:37out for a Portugal corner.
01:38Julian Augustman, we asked him at the press conference yesterday,
01:44what is the significance of this week?
01:46We feel here now.
01:48It's clipping that one in.
01:49Kimmich in the back post, knocks it down.
01:51And Frank Goretzka right through the legs of a defender.
01:54Put right to the goalkeeper, Diego Costa.
01:55Because with the possession, they're able to...
01:59On the run.
02:00Kovacovic trying to recover.
02:01Rinaldo wants the cross.
02:02He wants it now.
02:03Here it comes.
02:04Rinaldo!
02:05Terstegen down to make the save.
02:09And this is a perfect example of both teams wanting to have control.
02:12But yet, when there's transition opportunities,
02:15they go in, they go quickly.
02:16And they create goal-scoring opportunities.
02:18Great.
02:18It's not whistled.
02:20Germany unable to keep it.
02:22Adrian Neto on the run for Portugal.
02:24Ronaldo peeling off at the back side.
02:26Neto will run at Tom.
02:27And Johnnetso rising up into the stands.
02:33Oh, he has speed to burn.
02:35Neto, and as soon as he gets the ball,
02:36it's a one-track mind.
02:37He knows where to go.
02:39Kovacovic just ends up losing out on that duel.
02:43And then away he goes.
02:44Tom doing a good job.
02:46Hopefully he made themselves down.
02:48It's a great control off the chest.
02:49Here it comes now for Rinaldo from John Eves.
02:52Rinaldo forced to slow it up on Yana.
02:53That's a toss.
02:54Rinaldo, a lot of traffic.
02:56It's a deflected shot.
02:58Or was it?
02:58He just mishit it.
02:59It looked like it took a touch off the legs of a defender.
03:01That's what Rinaldo was arguing.
03:03I thought it was a touch, too.
03:04At least from our angle here,
03:06in our vantage point.
03:07And clearly,
03:08the entire Portuguese supporter section behind
03:11feel the same way.
03:12Vultimata trying to get himself back onside
03:18and just present himself as an option right now.
03:22It's back for Pavlovich.
03:23Leroy Zane opening up.
03:24Instead, it's Vultimata holding it up.
03:26Pavlovich trying to run.
03:27It takes the contact.
03:28The fallout from Vultimata.
03:30Saved by Diego Costa.
03:31The Portuguese players all stopped
03:33because they were wondering if it was going to be a penalty or not.
03:36And it is being checked.
03:38As Pavlovich did excellently to play the pass
03:41and stayed on the move.
03:43And he definitely got there first.
03:46Vultimata had a good look at it.
03:47The shot ends up being a save from Costa.
03:49This would be a good look.
03:50This is what you want from the target man.
03:52Vultimata holding it up.
03:54The challenge coming from Ignacio.
03:58Hatter held in.
03:59Anton.
04:00Slice clearance.
04:01Leroy Zane.
04:02Spins it around.
04:04Zane running in.
04:05Zane cutting back.
04:06Rolls it into the middle.
04:07Goretzka does a great save again.
04:09Costa down to his run for a corner.
04:11This is a terrific save because he sees it late.
04:15Great work from Germany though.
04:16Keeping the pressure on.
04:17Dynamic, quick movement.
04:19Zane getting two defenders inside.
04:22Shapes up like he's going to hit it to the back post.
04:24Cuts it back.
04:25And Goretzka, once again, good contact at the near post.
04:28Terrific save though.
04:29Costa getting down so quickly to his right
04:31to push that one behind.
04:33And Germany, you referenced it.
04:34I've been very advanced positions.
04:35Well, that's a nice little position there from Bernardo Silva
04:38that's opened up this chance.
04:39Pedro Netzo has Ronaldo Central.
04:41Does he need him?
04:42Netzo slows it up.
04:43Pedro Netzo.
04:44It's a great piece of individual defending by Robin Cook.
04:48Came all the way back.
04:50Stuffed Pedro Netzo.
04:51And now Germany's sort of re-inviting the pressure
04:53with that pass from Kimmich.
04:56How important it is to have success with this country
04:58to try to win this trophy.
05:01Now Kimmich cutting it back in for Leroy Zane.
05:04Good control to the far side.
05:06Here's Florian Ferretz.
05:07Middle step running inside.
05:08Ferretz to the traffic right at the Ocosta.
05:11That's his fourth save in the first half.
05:12And he will end the half.
05:22Coming up after the break, Jenny Moe and Alexi
05:25will give us their thoughts in Los Angeles.
05:2745 minutes down.
05:2845 to go here in Munich in the UEFA Nations League semifinal.
05:32No score between Germany and Portugal.
05:37To come through so they can close that.
05:40As he sprints up the stairs as the second half gets underway.
05:44Here in Munich.
05:48No changes for either side of the break.
05:50You would expect to see changes.
05:51You've got some new players on the field.
05:53Backtracking.
05:54Mendes running forward.
05:56It was taught.
05:56Giveaways for Ronaldo.
05:58And he just couldn't quite stretch all the way
06:02to stab that in the net.
06:03Oh, wow.
06:04Well, it comes off a giveaway.
06:06What a ball.
06:06This is from Mendes in behind.
06:10And it's just beyond Ronaldo.
06:12Now, I couldn't tell from our angle if he was...
06:15Good pressure.
06:19Ferretz takes it back for Germany.
06:22Florian Ferretz trying to clip it in.
06:23It's going to come back to him.
06:24Thought about the shot.
06:25Rolls it in.
06:26Kimmich is dead.
06:27Clipping it up.
06:28It's Ferretz.
06:29And it's in.
06:30And it guides the header in.
06:32Florian Ferretz.
06:34Quick transition off the giveaway.
06:37Germany going front early in the second half.
06:52Well, what a terrific goal.
06:54But just watch Voldemort here in the middle of this play.
06:56He puts a little bump on Ruben Diaz.
06:58And that's what they are protesting.
07:00That there was a bit of a pick.
07:02Ferretz comes inside and then stays on the move quickly.
07:04Gets in behind the back line.
07:05He's absolutely onside.
07:07The ball from Kimmich is perfect.
07:09And then look at that little touch in the back of Ruben Diaz from Voldemort.
07:13That opens up the space there for Ferretz.
07:15But that is a terrific header.
07:17Look at the spin on the ball to find inside that far post.
07:21Just a wonderful give and go essentially.
07:24But that touch from Kimmich on his hundredth cap for Germany.
07:29And Ruben Diaz with his hand up.
07:31He was protesting instantly.
07:33And he felt that...
07:34The yellow card on that foul that Bruno Martinez got a card for as well.
07:48Here's Bruno Fernandes.
07:49Ronaldo running off the shoulder of the defender.
07:51Fernandes keeps it.
07:52Fernandes cuts it back.
07:53Bruno Fernandes deflected just wide.
07:56And it's once again...
08:00It's going for a goal kick again.
08:02It's a goal kick by Slavko Vincic.
08:04Yeah.
08:04Who had his view screened.
08:07Yeah, absolutely.
08:08Almost identical to the Cristiano Ronaldo one.
08:11And Portugal tempers are flaring up here.
08:14Both on the bench, on the field.
08:22Fernandes swings it in deep.
08:24Ronaldo is up for...
08:25Couldn't get it down.
08:27No, that was a set play.
08:28All the Portuguese players end up running to the near post.
08:31Ronaldo scoops around the back.
08:33Gets a great look.
08:34Very early leap at him.
08:36Maybe just a little bit too early.
08:37Where he ends up catching the ball as he's coming down.
08:40As opposed to...
08:41You can see now.
08:42Portugal are buzzing.
08:43They're down a goal.
08:44There's a real purpose to how they're attacking.
08:46Konsei Sao, excellent move.
08:47Driving inside.

09:06What a finish from Konsei Sao.
09:30Individual brilliance.
09:32Step out late in pressure and getting caught off balance.
09:35He feels that, comes inside on the left foot and what a finish.
09:39Just bending it out, picking out the far corner.
09:41Germany retreating.
09:42Even that run across the face there.
09:44Splits the set.
09:46Ronaldo Silva resets into the middle.
09:51Mendes hands it back.
09:52Bruno Fernandes couldn't make a clean connection with Semeno on side as it came back to it.
09:55Neto, Ronaldo, enough of a tackle to keep it in play.
09:59Konsei Sao comes to get it.
10:01Force back out.
10:03Pitinha, given the space, Pitinha blocked down.
10:05It's almost just like a destabilized thing.
10:09And sometimes it's hard to stop that momentum.
10:11You have to have to throw.
10:13Bruno Mendes, Ronaldo!

10:42Thunder
10:43Terry
10:43and that's exactly where they want him finishing off plays look at him right now just hanging out
10:52behind the german back line and as soon as mendez breaks the line he comes to life that's going to
10:58be close whether he's behind that ball or not because he's clearly behind the last defender
11:03there for germany but that is tight he looked a smidge offside which of course is being reviewed
11:11lovely one two from nuno mendez the way he just breaks after the quick ball inside stays moving
11:18goes in behind and then the awareness to slide that ball across to find ronaldo if it stands it's
11:24seven goals in eight matches but that looked mighty mighty close and it's a goal it is a goal so he was
11:31behind the ball at the moment that ball was played cristiano ronaldo strikes again in one of the
11:40biggest moments for portugal came close early at the start of the half and then again that's just
11:46awareness and a striker's feel for the game and being in the right position
11:51i wasn't sure germany even knew where he was but then as soon as mendez breaks through
11:56he makes himself available has his body facing the goal finishes off the play and boy portuguese as
12:02well just maintaining some possession and forcing germany to exert energy trying to press
12:08it's gonna get back to it rolls and right in front only joshua kimick was there and that's fantastic
12:15from portugal the whole build-up good control good tempo good patience waiting for the gats dope
12:21vitinha into the space concesal on the run he's got the legs on top does he have the help does he
12:28need the help concesal puts it just wide oh wow that was close that was right in front of us
12:38look at this ball bending just past that post
12:43just pure pure speed to burst past top as verts is down after the play he took a shot
12:52rosin's adiemi adiemi trying to find space and he clips it off the outside of the post
12:58got the sliver of space to get it away the german bench is furious florian verts is down in pain
13:06oh adiemi coming to his left and just as well they were sitting in a defensive position taken
13:14long by nuno mendez ronaldo sneaking in to get it ronaldo cutting it back stabbed in the middle
13:19diogo jota save rebound contested saved as well by terstegen able to just to poke it away skill
13:29going around top first save excellent second save even better look at the reactions both of them i mean
13:36that's point blank you have to say concesal should have finished that off anywhere to the side
13:41instead he just second half vitinia just trying to oh what a little move on goes and still bring
13:46into the box anyway fires it in off the back of ta and aubry only partially cleared and that one ends
13:53up deflected out for a portugal corner with about 90 seconds of stoppage time to be played
13:58well vitinia his quality is so evident he would have started this match had he not come off the
14:05oh my goodness that is just better not going to find goretzka bernardo silva anywhere will do
14:11bruno fernandez was he on side or not gozins was recovering late bruno fernandez hands it off
14:17diogo jota kickstamp and a beauty by terstegen do the germans have time enough to get this upfield
