Alves eases tension for coach Queiroz

DECO admitted Portugal rode their luck as they secured a narrow advantage over Bosnia-Herzegovina in Lisbon.

Porto defender Bruno Alves scored the only goal of the game after 31 minutes when he headed in a cross from Nani.

Carlos Queiroz’s side were unable, however, to score a second goal to give them some breathing space ahead of Wednesday’s second leg in Zenica and could have even conceded an equaliser in the closing minutes.
