Postiga denies North famous win

Portugal 1 Northern Ireland 1

Ronaldo, and his illustrious team-mates, dominated possession and chances both before and after Niall McGinn’s opener that but they had to wait until the 80th minute for Helder Postiga to turn home a scrappy equaliser.

A point will be celebrated by a Northern Ireland side who were held at home by lowly Luxembourg last time out, but their bravery in the face of an attacking onslaught from Ronaldo and company so nearly yielded even more.
