Lukas Podolski plays a quick on-two with Michael Ballack on the halfway line and charges down the left before squaring for Bastian Schweinsteiger, who easily gets ahead of the defender to slot in at the near post. Brilliant move from the Germans.

Deco wins the ball on the edge of his own area and plays it to Simao, who slides the pass through for Cristiano Ronaldo. Jens Lehmann does well to save Ronaldo’s low effort but the ball comes out to Nuno Gomes, whose shot squeezes in despite Christoph Metzelder’s attempt to block on the line.

Some Portugal-style defending there from Germany as Helder Postiga is left unmarked to head home Nani’s cross from the left. Portugal have three minutes plus injury time to salvage an unlikely draw.
