HALFTIME WHISTLE -


SPAIN - 0


PORTUGAL - 0


Honours stand even at the end of the first 45 minutes. Although Portugal had clearly the better chances at scoring, Spain did miss quite a few themselves. Both teams' defenses wouldn't be too pleased at some of the lapses they showed.
Portugal though look hungry and raring. Spain seems half-ignited so far. Villa and Torres have made runs, but don't look as menacing as they did in the previous games. Christiano Ronaldo is yet to leave an impact in this game. I think he will be hoping to make one.
I daresay it will take a blast of daring and innovative individual brilliance to break this impasse. Which individual it will be...is difficult to tell.
It could go either way, folks. Let's see what the next 45 minutes reveal.
