Krohn-Dehli and Bendtner scored the goals that portrayed the Christian Bento made a goal-kick in 92 'that was worth nothing Danes, direct to Poland and Ukraine

Portugal does not learn from mistakes and prove it again in Copenhagen. The selection lusa lost to Denmark and earned a place in the playoffs, where it already was before the last World Cup. The Danes, meanwhile, will be at the next Euro no-nonsense, directly and leaving evidence Christian and company, who do not measure up to the selection when your country needs you.

A selection of Paulo Bento did not help nor the Netherlands, who lost to Sweden and prevented the Portuguese were the best runners. The Swedes met with him and took advantage of what happened at the Parken Stadium, which played what they wanted the premises.

Denmark managed to Portugal, which he treated his will. The Bento always rushed, forgetting football is a team sport and that a match lasts a little over an hour and a half.

Morten Olsen The guys applied unlike their rivals, Portugal pushed a maze. The goal came early, at minute 13, but before Silberbauer told with so much that he took as he stole the ball to Rui Patricio when he had in his hands. Krohn-Dehli broke Joao Pereira, Rolando shot and unwittingly helped to make no response to Rui Patricio. The ball played at the club and ended up in the nets.

Ahead, Denmark delayed positions and was very intelligent. Not provide the space, with those that had in the attacking half, which still continues to play Rommedahl, a direct player is still a bullet. Portugal had no plan about it, just expect it to sound the flute in the boots of good musicians, Cristiano, Nani or Meireles. The Lusitanian had the ball, but we know that this does not guarantee anything. Even, you can even become a trap.

A missile useless

The passage through either locker room offered good news to Portugal. The good news did not come from Sweden and Copenhagen got worse. Rommedahl defense portrayed the enemy and gave the small area where walking Bendtner, who broke the ball and Portuguese aspirations.

Never risk the Danish victory, which might even be exaggerated if it had not been for Rui Patricio. Bento pulled Veloso, Quaresma Nuno Gomes and up and nothing was worth it. Nor served the goal by Christian-kick at 92 '. It was too late. The good thing is that the Portuguese still have time to fix it. It is never too late ... up within a month.

Both teams met again, this time in the stadium of Nicosia, a year after tying 4 goals in Portugal, a result that sentenced the former coach Carlos Queiroz.

Portugal clinched their qualification for Euro 2012 with a win (0-4) against a struggling Cyprus, he played an hour outnumbered and out rout with two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo, one of Almeida and a Danny.

The first scoring chance of Portugal came with an entrance on the right side Joao Pereira in the 12th minute at the beginning of Cyprus game that threatened a couple of dangerous counterattacks.

Cristiano Ronaldo went to Portugal to goal on several occasions failed as a shot from outside the area after 16 minutes clearing the goalkeeper. The defense closed the whole of Cyprus, who earned his first yellow card in minute 17 (Domprasinovic), blocked the team with little fluency Luso offensive. The Portuguese team, which gained as whole minutes passed, had Joao Moutinho in its most active player in the first half.

Just Moutinho's shot inside the area, the Cypriot Dobrasinovic cut hands, caused a penalty and the defender a second yellow. Cristiano Ronaldo opened on 34 minutes with a strong shot to the right of the goalkeeper. After the goal, the Cypriot public had a curious reaction. He tried to provoke the Real Madrid star chanting the name of his rival in Barcelona, ​​Lionel Messi and Argentina T-shirts showing from the stands.

At the stroke of half a striker admitted Okkas, bordering the goal area, was arrested at fault for Michael Ruben Zaragoza, who saw the first yellow card of Portugal on 35 minutes. In the second part, the Cypriots came hard on the field with dangerous moves that roamed the area Portuguese, despite their numerical inferiority.

Portugal also slowed down and brought to Cyprus test with a pass from Ronaldo to Real Madrid team-mate Fabio Coentrao, in a raid by the left, hit the right post on 56 minutes. Coach Paulo Bento, who opted for his usual 4-3-3, midfielder Michael changed on 63 minutes by Miguel Veloso and Hugo Almeida and Helder Postiga in the 75th minute. Their entry, however, revived a second part that had only ten minutes in their excitement with three goals, one of Ronaldo at minute 82, Almeida pass two minutes after the player himself to Real Madrid and striker Danny in injury time.

He acknowledged he would be "very happy" if Real Madrid signed team-mate Fabio Coentrao, now in the ranks of Benfica. "It'sa great player, has shown in recent seasons, "said the Portuguese winger, who hopes to return Saturday to mark the shirt of your choice with which they have scored 26 goals in 80 games.

Beating the Norwegian paving the way for the Portuguese classification, which amended the last two meetings the dismal start in Group H. A home tie against Cyprus (4-4) and a home defeat against Norway (1-0) overshadowed the prospects of Portugal, which gained ground after beating Denmark at home (3-1) and Iceland at home (1-3).
