"As you know, Federation Internationale de Football Association is very serious about the chanting that we do when the goalkeeper takes a kick, and the possible sanctions are serious", FMF said in a statement directed at the team's supporters.

"This was the first time Portugal has won in Russian Federation and I think we played very well".

"Very happy for my first goal", he told Uefa.

For the Mexico v New Zealand, this game will begin at 2:00 pm ET, and it will also be live on Fox Sports 1 US, with live streaming available on Fox Sports GO.

"We took them to the very limit", Hudson said after his team was eliminated with a game remaining in Group A, "and at times they couldn't handle that".

European champions Portugal took the lead when captain Ronaldo headed a precise cross by Raphael Guerreiro past Akinfeev in the eighth minute and then held on as a re-energised Russian Federation created chances in the second half.

One major drawback in the game for Portugal was their young left back Raphael guerreiro was left injured in the second half near the one hour mark and had to be substituted to prevent further damage.

Akinfeev had kept his team in the match early in the second half when he tipped a powerful header by Andre Silva round the post.

Teams could also ask Vegas to pick an exposed player they're interested in, then get the Knights to subsequently flip him. Vatanen, a fifth-year player, won't be ready for the start of next season after having surgery to fix a shoulder injury.

New Zealand's superb first-half display rattled Mexico and a tense match boiled over with a mass brawl in the dying stages.

He said while it was a "huge disappointment, when we step away I think we can be quite proud of the performance today".

"We know how to adapt to different opponents".

Having opened their Confed Cup campaign with a 2-0 win over New Zealand, Russia face a step up against Euro 2016 winners Portugal and their troubled superstar captain.

"I thought it was freaky really, it was like we had elbowed the player the way it was going on", he said.

After Herrera's introduction, Javier Aquino forced New Zealand keeper Stefan Marinovic into a left-handed save, before Giovani dos Santos fired over.

Tommy Smith saved a Jimenez shot off the line two minutes from time.

And Peralta hit the victor in the 72nd minute when Aquino pulled the ball back for the 33-year-old to find the net.
