Figo's even wearing the national jersey Photograph: Alex Grimm/Getty Images Portugal's latest icon, Cristiano Ronaldo, is at the heart of the match from the get go. The Czech's aren't prepared to give him much space though Photograph: Leonhard Foeger/Reuters Helder Postiga, once of Tottenham, dives for the ball as the Portuguese control the play Photograph: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP/Getty Images Ronaldo has the first real chance of the match, snapping a fierce shot from close range, but Petr Cech gets himself in the way Photograph: Bartlomiej Zborowski/EPA Ronaldo is involved in further penalty-box action when he goes to ground after tangling with Petr Jiracek while waiting for a corner. The referee has a quiet word with the defender but there's no punishment Photograph: Leonhard Foeger/Reuters Portugal's goalkeeper Rui Patricio watches the action - he's hardly been troubled in the first-half Photograph: Fabrice Coffrini/AFP/Getty Images At the opposite end, Ronaldo narrowly misses the target with a scissor-kick effort ...

Half-time: 0-0 Photograph: Michael Steele/Getty Images The second half begins in similar fashion within Ronaldo once again hitting the post. His long-range free-kick had the goalkeeper concerned Photograph: Gabriel Bouys/AFP/Getty Images Finally, the Czech goal is breached. But Hugo's diving header is swiftly disallowed as he was offside Photograph: Kai Pfaffenbach/Reuters With 11 minutes remaining, Ronaldo cuts in front of his marker and sends a powerful header down into the turf ... Photograph: Gero Breloer/AP The ball rises high and fast - too much so for Cech, who can't keep it out. 1-0 to Portugal Photograph: Anne-christine Poujoulat/AFP/Getty Images Ronaldo races off in celebration, honking some imaginary horns along the way Photograph: Leszek Szymanski/EPA After four minutes of stoppage time the final whistle is blown. Portugal may have only won this match 1-0 but they absolutely outclassed the Czechs and pelted their goal with shots. Ronaldo will take the plaudits and rightly so Photograph: Anne-christine Poujoulat/AFP/Getty Images Cech looks despondent. But his side did little to warrant a place in the semi-finals Final score: 1-0 Photograph: Shaun Botterill/Getty Images
