Portugal Beat Turkey In Euro 2008

Sunday, 8 June 2008 16:59 by Carlos

Portugal started their Euro 2008 campaign in style by beating Turkey 2-0 and almost look certain to qualify from Group A along with Czech Republic who beat Switzerland earlier.

Portugal's centre-back Pepe opened the scoring, surging forward from the back playing a nice one-two with Nuno Gomes and then calmly slotting the ball pass the Turkish keeper Volkan Demirel. Raul Meireless scored the second in injury time sliding home after a flowing move started by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Portugal could have scored more, with Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the post from a first-half free-kick and Nuno Gomes also hitting the woodwork twice.
