| A crowd of 44000 arrived at the stadium (with a full capacity of 44000 terraces) to see Portugal Under-21 - Colombia Under-21! The conditions are bad, it is raining so the pitch is quite wet. These aren't conditions for technical football! Colombia Under-21's players seem to be lacking some strength in comparison with their opponents on the hard pitch. After 5 minutes, a crossed pass to the box by Hélder Novais finds Diogo Vieirinha clear, who takes a strong shot, but Alfredo Olaya tips it over the bar with an unbelievable leap! The ball is out for a corner kick! 8 minutes according to the clock, Andrés Fernández makes a pass to Daniel Batista all the way on the other wing. He is going to make a cross... the ball instead veers towards the goal area but hits the bar and is lifted over. It was almost an unexpected goal for Colombia Under-21, but instead the ball is out for a goal kick. The goal-keeper of Portugal Under-21 is doing his job very well.
