- Highlights
90+4'
There goes the final whistle! They left it late, but Portugal complete a 3-2 win. They collect the three points. They are still alive in this tournament.
90+3'
All or nothing now for Denmark. Chance for Schone, but he lifts the shot miles over the bar. Awful finish from inside the opposition box, and that might be that for the Danes in this match.
90+1'
Ronaldo with a late cynical challenge on Kvist. He goes into the book for that one.
89'
Schöne takes over from Krohn-Dehli for the Danes. We are into four minutes of added time.
88'
Denmark trying to find an equaliser for a second time as Bruno Alves clears Kvist's throw-in. Portugal so close to the three points.
87'
Portugal set to throw on an extra defender as Rolando replaces Nani.
86'
GOAL! Varela slams an unstoppable shot into the net, and Portugal lead 3-2. Brilliant finish from inside the box. Coentrão with a wonderful ball into the middle.
85'
Varela replaces Meireles for Portugal, who must try to rescue three points otherwise they will depend upon results elsewhere in this tournament.
84'
There have only been three headed braces in Euro Finals since 1980, and all have come in 2012 - Mandzukic, Shevchenko, Bendtner.
83'
Chance for Ronaldo as he dashed into the area, but Jacobsen is back to make the intervention. Superb defending.
82'
Ronaldo drives the ball low and hard at goal from out wide, but Andersen watched that like a hawk to make the stop.
81'
Mikkelsen has been booked for taking out Ronaldo. Chance for the forward to test Andersen.
80'
GOAL! Bendtner rises to power the ball into the net with a header via a post from Lars Jacobsen's delivery and the hand of Patricio. We are level at 2-2 in this match.
79'
Ronaldo could have rounded the goalkeeper, but went straight for goal and misses. Has not been his night or tournament so far. How costly will that miss prove to be?
78'
Glorious chance for Ronaldo to seal the three points, but he slips a shot wide from Nani's pass. An astonishing miss by the Real Madrid man.
77'
Patricio on hand to punch the ball clear from Eriksen's free-kick.
76'
All gone a bit quiet. Denmark dominating possession, but a lot of it has been in their own half. Nani deemed to have handling Simon Poulsen's delivery. Denmark with a free-kick outside of the Portugal area.
75'
Denmark have lost 12 of the 13 previous European Championship games they have been behind in, winning the other - against Belgium in 1984. History is against them, but there is time for a draw.
74'
Lars Jacobsen deemed to be guilty of bringing down Coentrão. Not been pretty, but Portugal are slowly inching towards these three points with 15 minutes left on the clock.
73'
Moutinho slides the ball into the path of Meireles, who leans back and ends up lifting a shot miles over the bar from 30 yards out.
