Euro 2012 qualifier: Portugal - Cyprus 4-4, 3 Sep 2010, video highlights



Hugo Almeida, Raul Meireles, Danny and Manuel Fernandes scored. It's a good news.

Bad news is that three times the defenders left Eduardo alone with Cyprus players. Nevertheless I would expect that he could do something in at least one of those situation... But it seemed as if he was not in the best shape.

In the last minutes - a catasthrope... Cyprus player shots on the goal, Eduardo makes a save, but the ball falls only a few meters from him, in the box. A header of Andreas Avraam, who didn't miss the opportunity, and the ball lands in the net. It's 4-4, Portugal started its first qualifier from a draw with theoretically the weakest of the opponents in their group.

Antonis Georgallides, the Cyprus's goalkeeper, made 7 saves. Some can be seen in the video highlights. Only 3 saves on Eduardo's account. Hope is going to do better in Norway - Portugal game.
