Portugal 1-0 Bosnia: Wasteful Hosts Take Narrow Advantage To Zenica

Portugal dominated against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Lisbon, but ended up just taking a one goal lead in their World Cup play-off first leg encounter.

The much-vaunted creative engine of BiH was all but absent on the night, while the Andrades spurned a host of opportunities to extend their early lead.

Indeed, Bosnia could in fact claim that they could have equalised or even won, given that the woodwork felt the force of their efforts on three key occasions, while Portugal's many chances were almost universally put high and wide.

In any case, Bosnia now have every chance of pulling a goal back to equalise from Bruno Alves' goal when they contest the second leg in Zenica on Wednesday.
