Portugal stunned

Portugal 0:1 Bulgaria. Marcelinho strike stuns wasteful Portuguese.


A 19th minute strike from  Marcelinho was all Bulgaria to record their first back to back wins since 2013. The Bulgarian midfielder poked home his debut goal after some hesitant defending from the Portuguese.



Portugal had numerous chances to get back into the game but goalkeeper Vladislav Stoyanov      frustrated them all day long.

A second half penalty was awarded to Portugal after Nikolay Bodurov had handled the ball in the box but Vladislav produced his best save of the night to deny Ronaldo.

Portugal generally controlled possession and had numerous chances but just couldn't apply the final decisive touch.



Nani had a very good chance to level matters late on the game but blasted high six yards away from goal.
