Match Info

- 90'We have a break in play here as a young spectator runs onto the field in search of a selfie with Ronaldo! The security men are quickly on the scene, but there is no real harm to it in all fairness, although they cannot take any risks, of course.
- 88'Portugal are just seeing this out now. It is another important three points for Santos' men - their fifth win on the bounce in Group B - and gives them momentum to build on going to Russia for the Confederations Cup.
- 85'However, if there is one man who can transform Latvian fortunes, it is Starkovs. The 61-year-old guided them to the finals of Euro 2004 during his first spell - their only appearance to date at a major tournament - and is very highly regarded in his home nation. A great striker in his day - netting 189 goals in 417 appearances for Daugava Riga - he was selected as the "Golden Player" of Latvia by the Latvian Football Federation in November 2003, as their most outstanding player of the last 50 years.
- 82'It is straight back to the drawing board for Latvia, who are set for a sixth straight defeat and third on the spin at home. In fact, you have to go back to September 2013 for their last competitive victory here courtesy of a 2-1 success over Lithuania.
- 80'Portugal make their final change as Nani comes on in place of Andre Silva for the final 10 minutes.
- 80'Substitution AndrĂ© Miguel Valente Silva LuĂs Carlos Almeida da Cunha
- 78'SIDE-NETTING! Ronaldo shows a good turn of pace to get in behind the Latvia defence by latching onto a neat through ball. He goes for the hat-trick from a tight angle, but can only send his effort into the side-netting.
- 77'Not only was this a vital World Cup qualifier for Portugal to claim three points and maintain the pressure on Switzerland, but it is also their final preparation before participating in the FIFA Confederations Cup for the first time. Drawn in a group with Mexico, Russia and New Zealand, Santos' men will be eager to make an impact at the quadrennial event.
- 75'LaizÄns is the latest Latvian to have his name taken by the referee.

- 71'Substitution - In22 - NĂ©lson SemedoSubstitution - Out22 - CĂ©dric SoaresAnother change for Portugal sees Cedric given a rest and replaced by NĂ©lson Semedo.
- 67'Goal9 - André SilvaGoal! Latvia 0, Portugal 3. André Silva (Portugal) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner. Assisted by Cristiano Ronaldo.
- 67'Substitution - In1 - Deniss RakelsSubstitution - Out15 - Davis IkaunieksStarkovs immediately turns to the bench to withdraw DÄvis Ikaunieks in favour of Deniss Rakels.
- 63'Goal7 - Cristiano RonaldoGoal! Latvia 0, Portugal 2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) header from very close range to the high centre of the goal.
- 62'Substitution - In0 - Davis IndransSubstitution - Out0 - Glebs KluskinsA first change for Latvia sees KÄŒuĆĄkins make way for DÄvis IndrÄns.
- 57'Substitution - In20 - Ricardo QuaresmaSubstitution - Out23 - Gelson MartinsThat was pretty much Martins' last action of the game, as he is quite rightly taken out of the firing line by Fernando Santos and replaced by Ricardo Quaresma.
- 55'Yellow Card23 - Gelson MartinsMartins has his name taken by the referee.
- 41'Goal7 - Cristiano RonaldoGoal! Latvia 0, Portugal 1. Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) header from very close range to the centre of the goal.
- 38'Yellow Card0 - Glebs KluskinsThe first yellow card of the day goes to Kluskins, who will miss Latvia's next match after a rash challenge on Guerreiro.
