Welcome to live text commentary of Russia's World Cup qualifying Group F encounter with Portugal at the Luzhniki Stadium.

Ronaldo whips over the free kick as a cross instead of going for a shot, and Ignashevich heads clear.

Beruzutski fouls Postiga rather needlessly, and this free kick could be very dangerous, just 25 yards out.

Ronaldo is again frustrated as he skips past Anyukov, but the defender gets back to intervene superbly.

Portugal break from deep as Ronaldo and Micael exchange passes, but he then takes a tumble which the referee looks at with disdain.

Ronaldo already looks a world-weary figure as he trudges back after a run down the left which leads to nothing.

Portugal stroke the ball around at the back, keeping possession without too many problems.

Kerzhakov charges down the left and manages to win a throw in deep inside the Portugal half as Pereira sweeps up.

Nani does well to bust a gut and get into the box to latch on to a deep cross from Veloso, but he cannot create a goal-scoring opportunity.

Portugal stroke the ball around patiently at the back, and they must find some fluency in possession.

That's a real blow for Portugal as Coentrao hobbles off, and it looks like a muscle strain.

After a few minutes of uncertainty, Bento finally prepares a sub as Miguel Lopes comes on to replace the injury-stricken Coentrao.

Coentrao remains on the ground, looking very anguished, and he looks likely to leave the field.

Russia press forward once more, before Fayzulin fouls Coentrao with a clumsy challenge on halfway.

A Portugal corner is wasted, and Akinfeev is able to punt the ball upfield.

It's a fine save from Akinfeev as Bruno Alves climbs high and heads powerfully down low and on target, with the keeper tipping the ball away!

Portugal are having an encouraging period of possession now as the visitors keep the ball in the Russia half and apply some pressure.

Kokorin looks very bright as he drops off the front line and links up the play once more, and Kerzhakov is making the runs in behind at the moment.

Nani again loses the ball on halfway, and Portugal have made an indifferent start to this match.

The home fans are making a huge amount of noise now as their side continue their impressive start by keeping the ball at the back.

Shirokov's through ball was sublime as he picked out Kerzhakov, and Bento is looking very concerned on the touchline.

GOAL! Shirokov slides a precise through ball into the path of Kerzhakov, who produces a very composed finish to slam the ball beyond Patricio in emphatic fashion - it's a superb goal from Russia, and they are in front! No less than Capello's side have deserved after a bright opening.
