00:00You
00:10Well, good evening, welcome along we're back 52 days after the euro
00:142024 final
00:16International football with UEFA is here again with the start of the fourth edition of the Nations League
00:23And of the Estadio de Luz it's the first ever winners of the competition Portugal taking on the runners-up from the last tournament, Croatia
00:33Mr. Miller gets us underway
00:40Portugal go back to Diogo Costa who
00:47Was the absolute hero of the day in this Slovenia game in the round of 16?
00:52for Portugal saving all of the penalties
01:00Great Ronaldo gets on the ball Rafa Leão crossed it into the penalty area
01:05Portugal winning on the edge of the box and it's a terrific effort and is superbly saved by Livakovic
01:13Bruno Fernandes joining from that deeper position
01:18Wasn't shy and getting his shot away
01:22Bruno Fernandes again finds himself a little pocket of space and it goes forward
01:32Diogo Dalo by Dalo
01:38It was tracked by Sosa
01:41His control in the penalty area was good. He went between the legs of Livakovic
01:48Dalo claims his third international goal
01:56Superbly done by the Manchester City man Gavadiol
02:01And then the effort
02:03As well from Modric absolutely whipped his shot in
02:09Wrapped his boot around it
02:12He's grazed the outside of the net
02:18Leão into the penalty area, Ronaldo takes it on and it's denied by Livakovic
02:24The stadium held its breath there
02:27They are desperate for this goal
02:30number 900 to be scored on
02:32Portuguese turf
02:36Good effort hard and low looking for the near post
02:41the Croatia keeper
02:44The outswing is straight into the penalty area and it comes out to Kramaric
02:50Forces a good save from Kosta
02:55Scraping inside that post
03:03Didn't exactly fizz off his boot
03:06But it's a goal
03:09Didn't exactly fizz off his boot
03:15It's Nuno Mendes and he whips that one in
03:17Looking for Ronaldo
03:21Goal number 900
03:38Modric fires it forward looking for Kramaric
03:48Valtterina's there Kramaric goes in alone and it's turned into his own net and they're back in this game
03:56Dalo who scored at one end has put that into his own net as well
04:03Brunette's got to go to Socel. We'll check the offside on this actually
04:08So for now, it's 2-1, but there's a big but here Kramaric does well plays it across
04:17Sosa hooked it back across but Dalo turned it in
04:22To the naked eye, I think Kramaric might have just been offside
04:31Definitely be an own goal. It's not on target
04:34Even better finish than is one at the other end. Goal
04:48Netto drives on can he go it alone? How far can Pedro Neto go? So unlucky
04:55Well, he won the ball
04:57Nothing else was there for him. Really. He was too fast for everybody else and he was away and he rattled his shot
05:03against the woodwork
05:08There were four players between Neto and Ronaldo
05:11he even gets a
05:13Clap from Cristiano Ronaldo for the effort Neto
05:26Dalo looking for Bruno Fernandez. His touch was good. Decided not to shoot first time. He brings it back to Bernardo Silva
05:34Ronaldo denied and then the flag goes up
05:41Ronaldo acknowledges the part played by Bernardo Silva
05:47Good save anyway by Dominic Levakovic
05:56Citalo, Jakic
05:59Citalo again
06:07It's tipped into the middle and it did finish with the shot
06:12The debutant Igor Matanovich on the end of it. What a goal it would have been
06:18Dalo drills it to Ronaldo first time layoff was excellent
06:24Ronaldo is away and he cuts it back Nelson Samedo takes it on and it's deflected up and over the bar and it's a corner
06:32Ronaldo is away and he cuts it back Nelson Samedo takes it on and it's deflected up and over the bar and it's a corner
06:49Second defender who blocked it
06:51Ronaldo is away and he cuts it back Nelson Samedo takes it on and over the bar and it's deflected up and over the bar and it's a corner
07:01Ball goes into the penalty area. Kostas didn't quite get there, but it was then played away
07:06Croatia win it back. Perisic goes wide and is dinked into the middle and it's into the side netting
07:14Fine left again from Kramaric
07:16Kramaric
07:20The shin and wide
07:26It is all over Portugal begin their Nations League campaign with a victory and with a historic goal
07:34By Cristiano Ronaldo that settled it. Diogo Dalo scored the opener
07:40Ronaldo got career goal number
07:43900
07:44Remarkable remarkable achievement is 131st for his country before Dalo scored it the other end as well
07:52It was a terrific enthralling encounter between two wonderful technically gifted
08:00experienced teams huge respect between the coaches
08:03And it's Portugal who kick off with a victory in this Nations League the broad broad smile though
08:11belongs to a hobbling
08:13Cristiano Ronaldo
08:15He got his goal. They got their win Portugal to Croatia one
