Portugal failed to impress once again

Pauleta, scored his 47th goal for Portugal in the fourth minute, after captain Luis Figo sliced through the Angolan defence and drew out the goalkeeper. This was the only goal of the match and excitement died out shortly after. Portugal failed to impress through out the game limiting itself to some less than skilful attempts at scoring. Many fans were cheering the Angolans in the last minutes and protesting against Portugal’s lack of interest in the game. At least it won its World Cup opener, breaking their famous break downs in first games at major tournaments by hanging on against newcomer Angola for a 1-0 victory.
