Welcome to the live text update of the final Group G game between Ghana and Portugal here in Brasilia.

Both teams have a chance of making it to the Round of 16, hence the importance of this game at the Estadio Nacional.

The result in the other group game between Germany and USA being played simultaneously in Manau will however have a bearing on this game.

For Ghana, it is that simple, beat Portugal comprehensively here and hope Germany does the business over the USA to go through.

The situation is even more complicated for Portugal due to the inferior goal's difference.

Both teams have completed their warm ups and have headed into the dressing room to get suited up for this clash.

Portugal lineup:
Beto, Bruno Alves, Pepe, Miguel Veloso, William, Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Moutinho, Eder, Nani, Ruben Amorim and Joao Pereira.

Ghana Lineup:
Fatawu Dauda, Asamoah Gyan, Christian Atsu, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, Andre Ayew, Mohammed Rabiu, Majeed Waris, Jonathan Mensah, Kwadwo Asamoah, John Boye and Harrison Afful.

Both teams have been ushered unto the pitch and are getting ready to observe the national anthems, Portugal first.

Anthems have been observed, now we ready ourselves for the game.
