Postiga wonder strike gives Portugal vital win from portugoal.net
Helder Postiga capped a superb individual display with a magnificent long-range goal to give Portugal a deserved win in Belgium tonight.
Man-of-the-moment Nani opened the scoring shortly before half-time with a fine shot after cutting into the box, but Belgium equalised in the 54th minute through a Fellaini header.
Belgium goalkeeper Stijnen produced a series of outstanding saves throughout the match but was powerless to prevent Postiga’s 30-metre cannonball of a shot into the top corner from hitting the back of the net in the 63rd minute.
