DISALLOWED GOAL FOR BELGIUM!
Wullaert thinks she’s added an assist to her goal, curling a great ball towards Mariam Toloba, who strides onto the ball and finishes past Morais.
However, there is a foul in the build up, and it is disallowed after a pitch side check.
A reprieve for Portugal, but it will matter little as time runs out.

Sofia Cantore picks the ball up on the left, and takes aim at goal.

GOOOOOAL! SPAIN TURN IT AROUND!
Four minutes into the second half, and La Roja are ahead for the first time.
Patricia Guijarro is the scorer, striking home from the edge of the box.
It looks to have come off the Barcelona midfielder’s shin, but it’s a fine finish nonetheless.

Oh, Portugal might well live to regret these missed chances.
Ana Capeta is put through on goal with a fantastic ball from skipper Carole Costa, but can’t lift the ball over the on-rushing Belgian goalkeeper Lisa Lichtfus.
She had options to her left too…
