Lyon (AFP) – The first Euro 2016 semi-final between Portugal and Wales in Lyon remained goalless at half-time after an opening 45 minutes of few chances.

Wales, in their first major tournament semi-final, tested Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio via a long-range Gareth Bale effort.

That was the only attempt on target in the first half though, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal kept quiet at the other end.
