Portugal vs Bosnia-Herzegovina Match Preview

A win for Portugal and they will make it to a 7th straight tournament. A draw with goals or a Bosnia win and Cristiano Ronaldo will be forced to watch Euro 2012 on TV rather than take part in it.

The Portugal captain certainly has no intention of letting that happen. “We are favorites because we’ll be playing at home and we are the better team, but we have to show that on the pitch,” said the Real Madrid superstar.

If Portugal coach Paulo Bento had been offered a goalless draw before the first leg of the tie in Bosnia, he would have undoubtedly accepted the result.

Yet the ease with which the Selecção bossed their hosts for most of the game left the Portugal squad with a sense of frustration that they did not turn their domination into a tangible advantage. “The result is extremely unfair given the way we performed,” said Bento after the final whistle had blown in Zenica.

Bosnia will certainly feel they are still in with an excellent chance of making it to their first ever tournament.

The Balkan nation are unbeaten in their last seven matches and were unlucky not to top their qualifying group ahead of France. A late penalty in Paris denied Bosnia victory and automatic qualification for next summer’s tournament in Ukraine and Poland.

Despite their optimism, Portugal’s players are well aware that they cannot afford to be complacent. “The tie remains 50/50. We can only promise hard work to try and qualify,” said striker Hélder Postiga.

After the drab 0-0 draw on a pitch Ronaldo described as a vegetable patch on Friday, the quality of football may well be less than of the highest standard again tonight, this time owing to nerves given what is at stake.

On the other hand, with players of the quality of Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani, Dzeko and Pjanic, an early goal for either side could lead to a classic. May the action begin.

Kick-off in the Estádio da Luz at 9.00pm local time.

Portugal vs Bosnia-Herzegovina Match Report

It was expected to be a tight affair at the Estadio da Luz, but the hosts showed they were in no mood to miss out on next year's summer festivities from the first minute.

Portugal had already threatened when captain Cristiano Ronaldo thundered in a typically brilliant free kick from nigh on 40 yards out to give the Selecção the lead.

A lead that was doubled shortly afterwards in equally spectacular style. Nani picked up the ball in the middle of the Bosnia half, took a few steps forward and unleashed an extraordinary shot that flew into the top corner of the net.

Portugal were rampant. Ronaldo and Moutinho came close before Hélder Postiga was denied what looked a good shout for a penalty.

Bosnia were given a lifeline when Fábio Coentrão handled in the box to give away a penalty, that Misimovic tucked away calmly.

Portugal came out for the second half just as strong and Ronaldo made the score 3-1 on 53 minutes after rounding the keeper. The goal had been set up by a wonderful João Moutinho defence-splitting pass. Lulic was sent off for protesting that the goal was offise - incorrectly as shown by TV replays.

3-1 up and playing against ten men Portugal were home and dry surely? Spahic's goal (from an offside position) temporarily brought the visitors back into it.

However, Portugal stepped on the gas again and a Postigal brace, sandwiching a sumptuous Miguel Veloso free kick made the final score 6-2 and left the local fans celebrating long into the night.
