...debut at left-back, in place of Rafael Guerrero.
Andre Gomes gets a start in midfield, held at Postiga to qualify.
Beto replaces Rui Patricio in goal,
Bruno Alves comes into defence and changes to the side which won 2-1 in last week's friendly against Croatia
at West Ham United's Upton Pieces of tonight's match.
Reducing world-class players to seemingly...
Messi again, lovely little ball to Di Maria...
And only just wide for Mengel Di Maria.
Set-up from Messi, just a little cute pass here from Messi,
into the stride of Di Maria.
And the game's opening chance falling to Di Maria and Argentina.
Way off the head of Ansaldi, Leo Messi.
The debutant, Thiago Gomes, Bilea, looks for Messi again, flag stays down!
Oh, and right across the face!
It was such an acute angle, he just couldn't find the back of the net.
But that little burst of acceleration from Lionel Messi, how often we've seen it onside,
Pepe playing him on, may just have touched off the near post of the goalkeeper,
Beto will see it from this terrific angle, yep.
Just came off the post, Messi.
Lovely ball into the path here of Javier Pastore,
but the danger was cut out by Pepe, who couldn't complete the clearance.
Argentina have to say they're being afforded the space by Portugal
in which to work their passing game.
Comfortable take for Beto.
Messi, Javier's to concede another corner here to Argentina.
Decent run forward by the full-back, Guzman, forced to kick long,
which is what Portugal were looking for.
Loose pass by Thiago, here's Di Maria.
Pepe got back goalside really quickly.
And his team-mates will be happy that it's only a corner and not a shot on goal for Di Maria.
That's the misplaced pass from Thiago.
Pepe had the pace to stay with Di Maria.
Good run from Messi.
Bruno Alves across swiftly.
That's a foul.
Demichelis on Ronaldo.
Just lost his footing here, Messi.
Thiago Gomes into his right.
Another good run from the full-back.
Pastore!
Beto equal to the Javier Pastore header,
but again Facundo Roncaglia doing well the right-back.
Just seemed to slightly lose his feet there, Beto,
but it was a relatively comfortable stop in the end.
In behind, Argentina here, excellent ball in!
It was twisting, turning, almost sending Billy out of the ground.
But couldn't hit the target.
Fosingua in behind the left side of that Argentina defence.
Roncaglia did enough to hold Ronaldo up,
but he still got his shot away.
And the first sight of goal for the prolific Cristiano Ronaldo.
Argentina breathe a sigh of relief.
Ronaldo, juicy yellow card here.
For Cristian Ansaldi.
Ronaldo told the ball before Ansaldi could arrive,
and it's a clear foul, and the referee decides.
I think he does try to pull out of it in fairness,
looking at that rebound where Ronaldo is placed,
on the edge of the area, but beyond that penalty spot.
And it's in there!
No Portugal shirt can get on the end of it.
That was a decent free kick from Nani, but no takers.
There's a certain amount of relief for Otamendi,
who lights up to mobile phone cameras,
can be seen all around the stadium as Messi delivers!
But over.
Flushed his head back in slight disappointment there.
Got some velocity in the shot, but not dipping.
Had it been on target, I think Beto was under the feet of Guzman.
Just about worked there for Argentina,
now he almost had work to do.
Could reach him, Otamendi was in the way,
it's a corner to Portugal.
Pepe.
Ronaldo was caught to Billya there,
it was just accidental.
He's offering his apology here, Cristiano Ronaldo.
Just his eyes on the ball there,
he didn't see where Bilya was, but that was painful.
See the reaction straight away from Ronaldo here.
Well, Martin Atkinson blows for half-time.
Lionel Ronaldo had a quiet start to the game,
has come more into it in the last quarter of an hour or so.
He had one shot over the bar.
Javier Mascherano has taken over the captain's armband
in place of Messi to back off Moutinho.
It's Joao Moutinho again.
Hedaya trying to get in there.
And a free kick has been signalled by Darren England,
the assistant on the far side.
Against Hedaya.
Into space here for Di Maria,
they're stretched here, Portugal!
Higuain's offside.
Flag's already up.
Mike Malarkey had that flag raised very quickly.
And they had a two-on-one here.
Just didn't hold his run, Higuain.
It was a correct decision from Mike Malarkey, the assistant.
Inroads into that Portugal defence,
Nicolas Gaitan, here's Ansaldi.
Di Maria!
That's lifted the atmosphere at Old Trafford,
a shot on goal.
Ansaldi with a set-up here for Di Maria,
struck it well.
Beto in the Portugal goal, always dealing with it.
Mascherano.
Good run here from Gaitan!
That's an excellent effort from Nicolas Gaitan.
Lovely ball this, though, from Mascherano.
Speared onto the head here of Gaitan, who was onside.
Just coming on the blind side of the young full-back,
Rafael Guerrero.
Beto always hoping it would travel wide, and it did.
Mascherano.
Ansaldi's made a good run, the left-back.
It's an excellent pass to pick out that run from Mascherano to corner.
Terrific movement off the ball there by Ansaldi.
Thumbs up for the service from the skipper for the second half
after the loss of Messi at half-time.
Javier Mascherano.
Plenty of Argentina in these positions,
can they make the breakthrough this time?
In goes Gaitan.
There was never trouble in Beto.
And he's certainly got the beat.
Argentina making their go for goal here.
Oh, decides to disappoint again.
This is really not very good for PSG.
Terrific pass, pass of the night.
Not a bad take either by Coresma.
Into Eder!
Well, that's so much better from Portugal.
We've really been flat for most of the evening,
but what a pass from Bruno Alves.
Wonderful take as well from Coresma.
And Eder was sniffing his first senior international goal there.
Silva.
Struck Eder, turns into a pass for Coresma.
Three-header!
And it's Rafael Guerrero!
And a wry smile passes the lips
of the coach, Fernando Santos.
And what a moment
for the 20-year-old Rafael Guerrero.
He bought a ticket for the raffle
and wins
his debut only last Friday
against Armenia.
And the left-back from Lorient in France
stoops to conquer.
And Portugal surely have won it.
A thrilling moment for that young man.
There's no time for the comeback.
Rafael Guerrero,
the toast of Portugal.
