90'
90'
One last Portugal attack, with Figo... he's on the ball midway inside the Poland half
90'
Kozminski ushers the ball back to Dudek as Portugal threaten again... and that's pretty much it for this most one-sided of matches
90'
Three minutes of added time, and Rui Costa is clear... he scuffs the shot and it's cleared off the line. That should have been five
90'
Olisadebe breaks - Poland still looking for a consolation. Baia claims after the striker gets into the box to try and meet the cross
89'
They'll be glad that this game has only a few seconds left to run
88'
Poland, at times so impressive during their qualifying campaign, are having an absolute World Cup nightmare
87'
Poland ragged at the back as Portugal break - the low cross dissects the remnants of their defence and Rui Costa steers it home across Dudek. It's 4-0 and very, very easy now!
86'
Pauleta is offside after a low cross is steered into the box - his effort flashed over the top in any case...
86'
Poland look for Olisadebe: Baia claims well as the striker looks to race through
85'
...at the other end, Pauleta shoots wide. Almost a fourth goal for the Portugal star
84'
They come very close to doing so - Marcin Zewlakow hits a volley which bounces into the ground and hits the side netting...
83'
The ball was whipped in at pace and the striker had to lunge to meet it. Poland trying to bring a little late respectability to the scoreline
82'
Hajto has a shot from the edge of the box, but it's blocked... a low cross comes in and Kryszalowicz steers it over the top
82'
Bak is denied by a good clearing header - it's another corner to the Poles
81'
Rui Jorge gives the ball away, but Petit is there to win it back... just a question of playing out time now for Portugal
81'
...Portugal come forward with Pauleta, but he's flagged offside
81'
Another Polish cross - Olisadebe challenges Baia who, at the second attempt, holds on...
80'
No joy there - Baia holds on and we've moved into the final ten minutes
79'
Can they get one from another corner now?
78'
Poland win a corner... it comes to nothing. They've conceded five goals in two games and scored none
78'
A lovely goal, and just reward for Pauleta's enterprising performance
77'
And a lovely ball from Costa finds Pauleta - he jinks past the defender and fires home crisply to complete a hat-trick. It's 3-0 Portugal!
76'
Portugal are, in flashes, showing the sort of passing and movement so absent against the United States
75'
Olisadebe chasing again, but Portugal win it back and break through Pauleta... Petit strikes it viciously, and it's just wide with Dudek struggling
74'
Waldoch meets it with a header - too high, though, to trouble Baia
74'
Hajto launches a long ball forward and Olisadebe wins a corner by pressuring Beto
73'
...it breaks down and Poland come forward with Bak, but Portugal are there to sweep up as Kozminski tries to cross
72'
Lovely skill by Figo, controlling the ball superbly and then looking for the pass forward...
71'
It's flicked on, but goes out of play. Polish frustrations growing
70'
Michal Zewlakow is going off to be replaced by Rzasa as Poland prepare to take a throw
69'
The ball runs out of play as Poland try in vain to cause problems. They're beginning to look downcast now and it seems like played two, lost two
68'
Conceicao is going off and Capucho comes on as Portugal make another change
68'
Pauleta gets onto the end of a cross - the Portuguese football is starting to flow now - but steers his header just over
67'
Kryszalowicz shoots low, and Baia makes an excellent stop. Frenetic period of play...
67'
...Figo takes it on and, from the edge of the area, curls a superb effort against the post. Unlucky - but here come Poland...
67'
And Portugal produced their best movement there - they're attacking again through Pauleta...
66'
That's surely it for Poland - it's very hard to see them scoring once, let alone twice
65'
...Pauleta slides in to prod it past the helpless Dudek, and Portugal have taken a 2-0 lead!
64'
Portugal advance into the Poland half and Figo slides in a low cross...
63'
Olisadebe breaks, but gioves the ball away - that's been Poland's problem and they're threatened on the break...
62'
He's coming on now, replacing Frechaut, who was injured in the first period
62'
Marcin Zewlakow is penalised for a challenge - free-kick Portugal, who are poised to bring Beto on
62'
...but his attempted cross is woeful, curling out of play and presenting Portugal with a goal-kick
61'
Maybe now - Poland have a corner. Olisadebe takes the ball on at the corner of the area...
61'
The fans are turning up the volume - they're probably hoping for a bit more excitement from the remainder of this clash
61'
Can Costa add a bit of spark to a game which has gone a little flat of late?
60'
Portugal bring Rui Costa on: Joao Pinto's the player taken off
59'
Kryszalowicz nods the loose ball home, but that won't count
59'
But Poland win it back and Bak sparks an atack - the ball is crossed, but the referee blows his whistle for a foul on keeper Baia
58'
They're passing the ball around at the back now, keeping possession
57'
Portugal trying to lift their tempo again - they've been a bit sluggish in this half
56'
The Poles will be encouraged by that spell. They've made a change, bringing Marcin Zewlakow on for Zurawski
55'
He steers his shot wide - that was a good chance. Poland come back again, and Dudek claims the cross
54'
It's cleared and Poland find Krzynowek, who runs into the area...
53'
The ball's ushered back to Dudek, and forward it goes to Kryszalowicz... but Portugal clear that easily and come forward to win a free-kick
52'
...then Couto makes another good interception. Some decent play from Poland, but they're struggling to make a really clear chance
52'
Poland clear - chance of a break with Olisadebe lurking: Costa heads the cross away
52'
Portugal have a free-kick midway inside the Poland half: Pinto fouled...
51'
They have it back again, however, and Pinto jinks and twists into the area. Dudek comes out to claim the ball
50'
Decent enough start to the second half: Pinto is offside, though, as Portugal play the ball forward on the right
49'
Poland attacking again, but Pinto is in the right place to pick the ball off
49'
Kozminski chasing again, but that one eludes him and Portugal have a throw inside their own half
48'
Zurawski makes a good run, but Costa gets across to block him out as he heads towards the area
48'
Pinto chases, but the ball skips along the slippy surface and runs out for a goal-kick
47'
Figo on the ball as Portugal attack - he wins a free-kick for Bak's challenge
46'
Immdeiately, Olisadebe sets off on a great run - the ball breaks to Bak on the edge of the box but his shot is mishit and bobbles harmlessly away
45'
Poland get the second half started - they have 45 minutes to save their World Cup hopes
45'
45'
Throw to Portugal, who have had the better of things so far. Poland, though, are not without threat - they play it forward but the ball hits ref Dallas and deflects unkindly
45'
Olisadebe threatens, but then plays a loose final pass and Poland lose the ball. There will be two minutes of stoppage time
45'
Poland will need to find more of those in the second period... Zurawski heads te ball on, but it goes to nobody
44'
Kozminski crosses well and Couto gets his head to it to clear. That was a good ball in
43'
...and Pinto is back on his feet and back on the pitch. A relief for Portugal
43'
Bak tries to get in but gives the ball away - Petit then does exactly the same for Portugal
42'
None... Pinto is still off the pitch. From the free-kick, Figo is dispossessed
41'
...and Pinto is still down. What action will ref Hugh Dallas take?
41'
Kozminski lets the ball slip out of play and Poland concede another free-kick for a foul on Joao Pinto. The foul was by Hajto...
40'
It is Figo - it's low, through the wall, and straight at Dudek
39'
Surely this is one that will interest Figo...
38'
Olisadebe again - he makes a good run down the right and fires in an angled shot which Baia stops. Bak fouls Pinto and is booked... it's a dangerous free-kick right on the edge of the area
37'
No sign of a let-up in the rain, and slips are becoming more frequent... Olisadebe is beaten in the air as Poland come forward once more
36'
Dudek punches it clear and Pauleta wins a corner... from it Figo finds Petit, who gets in a low shot which Dudek holds onto
35'
Free-kick to Portugal in a crossing position, and Figo takes it...
34'
They look to have worked a chance with a quick first-time ball to Olisadebe - too quick, because he's offside
33'
And another good clearance from Portugal, who are having to cope with some decent pressure all of a sudden
32'
...the ball is back with the Poles, though, and they win a throw. Good spell for them
31'
Ref Hugh Dallas has taken plenty of names so far... Zewlakow comes forward in another Poland attack, but his cross is cleared...
31'
Back to the other end, and Olisadebe is denied space... Figo breaks away but then loses the ball and Rui Jorge goes into the book for a bad challenge
30'
Pauleta chases into the area and Dudek comes out well to claim it
30'
From it, Poland are crowded out and Couto eventually blasts the ball clear
30'
They win the ball back and Couto has to slide in to clear. Zewlakow to take a throw
30'
Bak loses control of the ball in the teeming rain, and Poland concede a throw
29'
Figo is back for Portugal to get that one away
28'
Krzynowek shoots after his first effort is blocked - it deflects for a corner
27'
Free-kick: Poland looking to create danger from this one
26'
Figo rather waits for the ball and Olisadebe steals in - Baia comes out of his area to clear. Jorge Costa is booked for bringing down Olisadebe soon afterwards
25'
And that's bound to make control a bit more difficult - conditions are getting slippier by the minute
24'
...which, in the end, is claimed by Baia. It's pouring down now - looks like London on a summer afternoon
24'
Frechaut is booked for bringing down Krzynowek inside the Portugal half - free-kick Poland...
24'
But there's more and more confidence coming into Portugal's play, and they look capable of carving out plenty of chances today
23'
...Pauleta comes forward again after an excellent crossfield pass: he tries his luck, and the ball flies over
22'
Again, however, it breaks down... Poland look for Olisadebe but can't find him. More of a hopeful long ball than anything else
21'
Good passing by Portugal - Pinto loses it in the end, but back they come with Figo down the right...
21'
Figo's free-kick is a disappointment, and Poland don't have to worry about that one
20'
Kryszalowicz fouls him, and Figo will cross this in from the right. Swierczewski is booked for a foul as the players jostle in the area
20'
But in the end it's a downright weird one from Conceicao, and goes out for a throw. What was that supposed to be?
19'
Figo weighing up his options here...
18'
Figo looks to cause further damage, meandering down the right... he wins a dangerous free-kick near the edge of the box
18'
And the Poles have responded well to the blow of falling behind
17'
Poland have another free-kick, this one midway inside the Portugal half. Baia claims it well
16'
Swierczewski shoots from 25 yards, just over... Kaluzny, who slipped and fell awkwardly, goes off and is replaced by Bak as Poland are forced into an early change
15'
Kozminski floats in a good-looking cross, which just eludes the waiting attackers and is deflected out for another corner
15'
Kaluzny reacts by breaking down the right to win a corner... it results in a second flag-kick
14'
...the ball comes to Pauleta on the left-hand side of the area, and he cuts in to fire a shot low past Dudek at his near post. It's 1-0 Portugal!
13'
Figo is forced back and Olisadebe steps in: Jorge Costa stops him. Frechaut is back on and starts an attack...
12'
His side temporarily down to ten men, but on the ball after Zurawski loses possession
11'
Injury worries for Portugal... Frechaut is being stretchered off for treatment
11'
Signs that Portugal are starting to get their game together now... Kaluzny shoots at the other end, but that's way over the bar
11'
...Pauleta tries another shot from distance after some neat control - it's well-struck, but straight at Dudek
10'
Pauleta has the ball wide on the left and fires in a dangerous cross which Zewlakow clears for a corner. Figo will take it...
9'
Straight back on the attack - Pauleta fires in a good shot from outside the area and it's not too far wide of the post
8'
...again, it offers little threat and the clearance is routine
8'
They certainly aren't passing the ball in the way they can... Kaluzny is penalised for another niggling challenge, and Figo floats it towards the area
8'
The delivery's a bit aimless, though, and Portugal are yet to really get going
7'
Lively enough start - Bento is fouled for a free-kick inside the Portugal half
6'
Soon afterwards, Poland come forward again and the ball is scrambled away... Joao Pinto races into the area and is crowded out
6'
Portugal move forward with Frechaut, and Conceicao tries a shot which lacks the pace or direction to bother Dudek
5'
Plenty of attacking intent from Poland - they're taking a much more positive approach to this game than their last
4'
...he's soon back in the thick of the action, twisting and turning - the ball comes out to Kaluzny, whose shot is wide of the target
4'
But Portugal concede possession carelessly, and an attempted through ball is too strong for the speedy Olisadebe to get on the end of
3'
Hajto gets in with a strong challenge - too strong, says the referee, and it's another free-kick
2'
...and they move forward to win a throw on half-way
2'
Portugal get back well as Kryszalowicz threatens down the right
1'
Then Joao Pinto commits a foul and Poland play it forward - Olisadebe can't get there and it's a goal kick
The Portuguese pass it around, and Luis Figo is the victim of the game's first foul...
Portugal get the game under way - their defence, so shambolic against the USA, will be under the spotlight
Poland, in particular, need to find some semblance of attacking threat - sorely missing during their defeat against South Korea
The anthems are being played, the rain's coming down... two sides here who know they need a big improvement on their displays in the opening games
