After a slow first stanza, no substitutions were put out at the resumption by either side with the A Selecao keen to prolong their bit of momentum.Portugal were close to getting the breakthrough ten minutes after halftime after Joao Cancelo stormed clear to play in Bruno Fernandes, but the Manchester United man was thwarted.
Early drama followed in the additional period when the A Selecao were awarded a penalty when substitute Jota succumbed to a challenge, but Jan Oblak denied Ronaldo and kept the score level.
