    It’s all over in Group G and plenty to talk about! Not the thrashing anyone expected, made easier by the Pepe dismissal. Thanks for joining us.

    Eder wins a free kick for Portugal. Late chance to restore some pride. Ronaldo takes and it’s a fabulous save from Neuer. Hit with venom!

    We have two added minutes here and then the torture is over for Portugal.

    Boeteng breaks clear but is pulled back by Meireles who somehow escapes a card.

    Podolski exchanges passes with Lahm and claims he was checked on the edge of the box. Looks to have a case. Nothing given though.

    Germany content to play it around, winding down the clock.

    Another chance for Ronaldo from a free kick. It’s straight into Lahm and away.

    Mueller’s match? Unquestionably.

    STAT: This is the first hat-trick of the 2014 World Cup and the first since Argentina's Gonzalo Higuaín scored three against Korea Republic in 2010.

    Eventful night for the tournament’s leading scorer eh! Plays a part in getting Pepe sent off then scores a hat-trick.

    Shot from Nani beaten away by Neuer. It comes back to Eder who goes tumbling in the box after a Howedes challenge. Appeals for a penalty but nothing given. Ronaldo is furious.
    74'
    Just not happening for Ronaldo tonight.
    73'
    Boateng goes back to fill the centre half position.
