07.09.2012 » Luxembourg 1-2 Portugal

WHEN A GAME BETWEEN LUXEMBOURG ANDPORTUGAL IS ABOUT TO TAKE PLACE, WE'RE USUALLY UPON A MATCH-UP WHERE THE ONLY CHALLENGE IS TO KNOW FOR HOW MUCH GOALS DOES THE PORTUGUESE TEAM BEAT LUXEMBOURG. THAT WASN'T THE CASE LAST NIGHT, AS PAULO BENTO'S MEN EVEN STARTED TRAILING BY ONE, EARLY IN THE FIRST HALF. HOWEVER, WITH CRISTIANO RONALDO AND HÉLDER POSTIGAGOALS, PORTUGAL TURNED THINGS IN THEIR FAVOR AND PULLED OFF THE FIRST 3 POINTS AT THEIR


DEBUT FOR THEFIFA 2014 WORLD CUP QUALIFICATION STAGE.



Portugal kicked off their campaign for the FIFA 2014 World Cup qualification stage, with a 1-2 win against Luxembourg, in a game where difficulties turned out to be a lot bigger than what was initially expected. The opener was surprisingly obtained byLuxembourg still before the first 15 minutes, but Portugal responded by Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the equalizer deep in the first half, with 28 minutes played. ThePortuguese National Team were far from impressing, but even playing in such a low level they managed to take the lead shortly after the break, this time from a good finish by Real Zaragoza's forward, Hélder Postiga. The 3 points were indeed the most important thing to get out from this match and Portugal can now turn their attentions to next Tuesday's game against Azerbeijan, also counting for the FIFA 2014 World Cupqualification stage, a tournament that will be held in Brazil, roughly 2 years from now.
