- 90'+4'That's all for today, goodbye!
- 90'+4'Portugal remain top of Group A3 on goal difference after France beat Croatia 2-1 in the other group match. Their next Nations League match is against the World champions, but first, they face Andorra in a friendly at the start of the next international break. Sweden are still bottom and without a single point in the competition. Next up for them is a friendly against Denmark next month.
- 90'+4'A brace from Jota helped Portugal secure a 3-0 win over Sweden. It was Bernardo Silva that opened the scoring in the first half when he was fired across goal to find the bottom-left corner. Jota's first came just before half-time when he beat Olsen from close range and added the third in the second half after a brilliant run down the left before he found the bottom corner.
- 90'+4'FULL-TIME: PORTUGAL 3-0 SWEDEN.
- 90'+2'Portugal are keeping hold of the ball well at the moment as they try to see out the final few minutes of the game and keep Sweden penned back in their own half.
- 90'Sweden are still pushing to get a late consolation goal and they have another corner. Larsson swings a cross into the box, but can't beat the first man and Pereira clears his lines.
- 88'Berg is also coming off with Martin Olsson on in his place.
- 88'Andersson is also making a double change as Sebastian Larsson comes on for Kulusevski.
- 88'Fernandes also makes way as Sanches replaces him.
- 88'Double change for Portugal now and Jota is making way for Rafa.

- 85'Fernandes trips Claesson in his attempts to win the ball and kicks it away in frustration when the free-kick is awarded which is why he's booked.
- 84'GOOD SAVE! It's a great cross into the box from Claesson on the left and Isak runs across Guerreiro to get on the end of it. He flicks his header on towards goal and Patricio gets down quickly to deny him.
- 82'Portugal break on the counter-attack again and Fernandes is picked out on the left of the box where he takes the shot. It's a comfortable one for Olsen though as it's straight at him and he holds onto it.
- 80'Another change for Portugal now and Carvalho hands the armband to Moutinho as he comes on to replace him.
- 79'Berg clips the back of Guerreiro's heels and is shown a yellow card.
- 77'Portugal make another quick break down the field after winning the ball back on the halfway line, but this time, Jota's run down the left is picked up. He tries to wrongfoot Johansson, but he tracks him all the way and blocks the cross.
- 75'Joao Felix also makes way for Podence.
- 75'There's a double change for Portugal now and Bernardo Silva is the first to come off as he's replaced by Andre Silva.
- 74'Sweden have the ball in the back of the net after Olsson fires in from long range but the referee's whistle had already gone as Kulusevski was offside when he latched onto Claesson's pass in the box.
- 72'It's a good pick out from Carvalho as he sees Jota with a lot of space to run into down the left and sets him on his way.
- 72'GREAT GOAL! Jota makes a driving run down the wing and cuts inside into the box, pulling away from three Sweden defenders in the process. When he gets to the middle of the area, he fires his shot low to Olsen's right and finds the net for the second time. 3-0 Portugal!
- 71'The referee has just stopped the game after awarding Portugal a free-kick and gone over to Sweden's bench to show a yellow card to Andersson.
- 69'Kulusevski does well to keep the ball under pressure from two Portugal defenders and picks out Johansson's run down the right. He swings a cross into the box first time, but Dias heads it clear.
- 67'WHAT A MISS! Joao Felix times his run perfectly to stay onside and receive Fernandes' throughball. He's one-on-one with Olsen in the box and tries to lift his shot over the keeper, but ends up sending his shot sailing over the crossbar.
- 66'Lindelof does well to hold onto the ball under pressure from Dias in the box and he touches it onto Jansson. He lays it off to Isak on the edge of the box, but he fires his shot high over the bar.
- 64'Sweden are keeping possession well at the moment and are steadily making their way forward. Isak turns away from Pereira, but his run is then stopped by Guerreiro and he wins a free-kick.

- 61'Jansson is booked after he sticks out an arm and catches Pepe in the face with his elbow.

- 57'Olsson is booked after he catches Jota with a late foul.
- 56'GOOD SAVE! Claesson cuts inside from the left and pulls away from Cancelo to get into space on the edge of the box. He drills his shot towards the bottom-left corner and Patricio pushes it against the post and out for a corner.
- 54'Sweden are making the first change of the game and it's Lustig making way for Johansson.
- 53'Carvalho makes a brilliant run, starting in his own half, to get to the edge of Sweden's box before he squares the ball to Silva. He can't make any room for the shot, so lays it off to Fernandes and his shot is deflected just wide of the goal.
- 52'Jota is on the stretch trying to reach the ball and ends up standing on Olsson's foot so he's shown a yellow card.
- 50'Portugal are seeing a lot of the ball at the moment, but it's all in their own half. They're trying to push forward, but Sweden are keeping their shape well and making it difficult for them to get through.
- 45'+3'Portugal have created the better chances so far in this game and have looked dangerous each time they go forward, so Santos will be hoping for more of the same. As for Sweden, they started the game brightly, but haven't tested Patricio in Portugal's goal and they need to be more clinical if they want to get back into this game.
- 45'+3'Portugal lead Sweden 2-0 at half-time. Silva opened the scoring for the home side when he was picked out by Jota in the box and he hit his shot across goal to beat Olsen. Jota then got a goal for himself towards the end of the half after he was brilliantly picked out by Cancelo and fired in from close range. Carvalho's header also bounced off the woodwork, while Berg was also denied by the post at the other end.
- 48'GOOD SAVE! Lustig plays a good one-two with Olsson on the right to create some space for himself before putting his cross into the box. Berg rises highest to meet it in the middle, and Patricio gets a strong hand to it to push it away.
- 45'+3'HALF-TIME: PORTUGAL 2-0 SWEDEN.
- 45'+2'GREAT CHANCE! It's sloppy from Guerreiro as he gives the ball away to Kulusevski just outside his own box. He squares it to Berg, who turns away from Pepe, but he leans back as he takes the shot and fires it high over the bar.
- 46'Portugal get us back underway for the second half!
- 45'+1'Fernandes makes a driving run to the edge of the box and Carvalho squares the ball back to him. He hits the low shot first time, but Olsen gets down quickly to hold onto it at the far post.
- 44'Cancelo is near the halfway line when he decides to put the cross into the box and it's a brilliant pass which gives the Sweden defenders no chance.
- 44'JOTA SCORES! It's a great cross from Cancelo that just takes the defenders out of the game. It bounces through to Jota and he brings the ball down before hitting the shot as it bounces in front of him and beats Olsen from close range. 2-0 Portugal!
- 42'Sweden are being penned back in their own half at the moment as Portugal continue to push forward in search of a second goal. Cancelo gets into space on the right, but his cross is cut out by Lindelof.
- 40'Portugal don't clear their lines properly following a corner and the ball comes out to Claesson. He curls a cross into the middle of the box where he has three team-mates waiting, but Pepe makes another important clearance.
- 38'Lustig picks out Claesson on the edge of the box and he backheels the ball into Kulusevski's path. Pepe gets there ahead of him to make a brilliant interception, but the flag has gone up for offside.
- 36'Ekdal picks up the first yellow card of the game after he sticks out a leg to trip Carvalho.
- 34'Kulusevski is trying to make something happen for Sweden as he picks up the ball on the right again, but he doesn't have anyone up in support with him. Lustig makes an overlapping run, but he's then dispossessed by Dias.
- 32'Jota thinks he's in on goal after nicking the ball off Jansson just outside the box. He's one-on-one with Olsen, but much to his frustration, the referee blows his whistle as he thinks there was a foul on the defender.
- 30'Sweden's free-kick in midfield is played into the right side of the box and Bengtsson rises highest to meet it. He heads it back into the middle of the box but can't pick out a team-mate and Cancelo clears his lines.
- 28'Sweden are struggling to get on the ball at the moment and Portugal are happy to keep possession in their own half. A sloppy pass from Pereira gifts it to Olsson, but his pass into Berg is poor and the chance to attack is gone.
- 26'The free-kick is taken short and Jota squares the ball to Silva, who is in space just outside the box. The ball bounces up in front of him and he hits the shot on the half volley, but his effort is wide of the near post.
- 25'Guerreiro makes a driving run down the left and drifts past two Sweden defenders before Ekdal comes across to cut him off and Portugal have a free-kick in a good position.
- 23'Sweden are on the attack again following the restart and Lustig swings a deep cross into the middle of the box. Quaison is running onto it, but Pepe gets back to clear his lines and stop him having a shot.
- 21'Jota's run draws two Sweden defenders to him and he gets his head up and spots Silva's run to his right before squaring the ball to him.
- 21'PORTUGAL LEAD! The home side win the ball back after a sloppy pass from Sweden and Jota squares the ball to Silva on the right of the box. His run isn't picked up and he fires his shot past Olsen and into the far corner. 1-0 Portugal!
- 20'Sweden are keeping possession well at the moment as they patiently play out the back and try to find a way in behind Portugal. Every move is coming from the right side but, this time, Kulusevski is brought down by Guerreiro.
- 18'Kulusevski cuts inside from the right and squares the ball to Olsson on the edge of the area. He tries to pick out Berg with a backheel to set him up in front of goal, but Dias makes an important interception.
- 16'Yet again, Kulusevski is given too much room on the right and he curls another good cross into the box. It's just out of Berg's reach though and it ends up curling wide of the far post.
- 14'Seven of Portugal's last eight goals against Sweden have been scored by Ronaldo; the only other goal in that span was an own-goal by Andreas Granqvist in March 2017.
- 12'CLOSE! Portugal don't deal with Kulusevski's corner into the box and Pepe's clearance actually falls to Lustig at the far post. He takes a touch to set himself before firing his shot on goal, but it sails just over the crossbar.
- 10'Guerreiro puts a good cross into the box towards Joao Felix, but Bengtsson gets to it just ahead of him. His clearance goes only as far as Fernandes though and a deflection takes it wide of the post.
- 8'Kulusevski cuts back inside from the right before curling a cross into the box, but it's cleared by Dias. The ball falls to Ekdal and he has a shot despite being a long way from goal but a deflection takes it over the bar.
- 6'Some space opens up for Joao Felix just inside the box, but as he goes to take a shot, he's moved off the ball. He thinks he should have a penalty as he feels Jansson dragged him away, but the referee doesn't give anything.
- 2'CLOSE! Portugal counter-attack after Sweden's quick start and Carvalho plays a brilliant throughball into Jota. He makes a driving run to the edge of the box before drilling a low shot towards the bottom-left corner, but it's just wide of the post.
- 1'Berg gets the game underway for Sweden!
