- 90'+7'Ireland host Azerbaijan next this weekend, while Portugal will now prepare for a friendly against Qatar. As far as the World Cup in Qatar is concerned, Ireland may see this game as a sliding doors moment. That's all for now. Goodbye!
- 90'+7'Portugal's victory means they keep their place at the top of Group A with 10 points from four games. Where would they be without Ronaldo? Ireland stay fourth in the group with no points at all yet alongside Azerbaijan. Qualification may be realistically beyond Kenny's men but performances like this one will give them hope.
- 90'+7'Portugal grab two late goals to secure a comeback win over a spirited young Ireland side. Ireland were dreaming of a plucky away victory after Egan put them ahead just before half-time, but Portugal could rely on their record-breaking captain Ronaldo to crush Ireland's dreams.
- 90'+7'FULL-TIME: PORTUGAL 2-1 REPUBLIC OF IRELAND
- 90'+7'Ronaldo's booked for ripping his shirt off after scoring, partly in celebration, partly in righteous fury.
- 90'+6'Joao Mario's ball in was a tricky one and a poacher of Ronaldo's quality was never going to miss that chance. Poor Ireland. They've given everything here in Faro but will leave with nothing.
- 90'+6'GOAL! PORTUGAL 2-1 REPUBLIC OF IRELAND! Ronaldo grabs his second goal of the game to snatch victory for Portugal at the death! Joao Mario floats a high cross into the box and Ronaldo rises high again to power a header past Bazunu.
- 90'+4'Coleman hands Portugal a late corner which Ireland manage to defend. Guedes, who's troubled Ireland since he came on, manages to spot Joao Mario whose shot causes Bazunu no trouble.
- 90'+2'Portugal rightly believe they can win this as Ireland are starting to tire. Jota fires over from outside the box.
- 90'+1'Ireland almost regain the lead instantly as McClean gets loose down the left. The winger lashes low towards the near post and Patricio pushes the shot into the side netting. Ireland get a corner but Omobamidele is penalised for a push on Pepe.
- 90'+7'Yellow card0 - Cristiano RonaldoRonaldo's booked for ripping his shirt off after scoring, partly in celebration, partly in righteous fury.
- 90'+6'Goal0 - Cristiano RonaldoGoal! Portugal 2, Republic of Ireland 1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) header from the centre of the box to the top right corner. Assisted by João Mário with a cross.
- 90'Substitution - In0 - James Collins
Substitution - Out0 - Adam IdahThere'll be at least five more minutes of this as Ireland make some late changes. Collins takes Idah's place up front. - 89'Goal0 - Cristiano RonaldoGoal! Portugal 1, Republic of Ireland 1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) header from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Gonçalo Guedes with a cross.
- 82'Substitution - In0 - Gonçalo GuedesSubstitution - Out0 - João CanceloPortugal substitution. The Valencia winger Guedes replaces Cancelo.
- 73'Substitution - In0 - João MoutinhoSubstitution - Out0 - João PalhinhaPortugal also make a change. Their enforcer Palhinha makes way for Moutinho.
- 72'Substitution - In0 - James McCleanSubstitution - Out0 - Aaron ConnollyConnolly's time is up anyway. McClean will take his place.
- 62'Substitution - In0 - Nuno MendesSubstitution - Out0 - Raphaël GuerreiroPortugal substitution. Fernandes is the player to make way. He's snatched at chances here. The Benfica midfielder Joao Mario replaces him.
- 62'Substitution - In22 - João MárioSubstitution - Out0 - Bruno FernandesGuerreiro is next to go off. Tavares replaces him in a straight swap at left-back.
- 56'Yellow card0 - Matt DohertyDoherty picks up a yellow card for taking too long to leave the pitch after taking a knock and receiving treatment. The Tottenham defender is bemused.
- 45'+2'Yellow card0 - Aaron ConnollyThere'll be five minutes added onto the end of this half. Connolly's booked for a clumsy tackle on Palhinha.
- 45'Goal0 - John EganGoal! Portugal 0, Republic of Ireland 1. John Egan (Republic of Ireland) header from the left side of the six yard box to the bottom right corner. Assisted by Jamie McGrath with a cross following a corner.
- 35'Substitution - In0 - Andrew OmobamideleSubstitution - Out0 - Dara O'SheaO'Shea is replaced by Omobamidele, Norwich City's highly-regarded 19-year-old centre-back.
- 33'Yellow card0 - Dara O'SheaO'Shea is eventually booked as he trudges off the pitch, even just to go down to receive further treatment. It looks unlikely that he'll be able to continue.
- 10'Yellow card0 - Jeff HendrickHendrick is booked for his challenge on Fernandes. There's a bit of argy-bargy between Ronaldo and O'Shea before the penalty is taken, which sees Ronaldo wafting an arm at his Irish counterpart. Naughty.
