Portugal favourites to qualify after dire draw

BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA failed to make the most of home advantage as they played out a terrible goalless draw with Portugal in the first leg of their Euro 2012 play-off in Zenica.

Possession was dominated by the visitors but Helder Postiga missed the best of what chances they created, while Cristiano Ronaldo again struggled to produce his club form in a Portugal shirt.

Nonetheless, Paulo Bento’s side will be happier with the goalless draw and they will be firm favourites to progress when the sides meet again in Lisbon on Tuesday.
