ENGLAND U21 - PORTUGAL U21 0:1
A very impressive Portugal performance as we prepared for the European Championships with a 1-0 win in Stoke :happy:
The only goal of the game came from a free kick which Candido Costa swung in and big Porto defender Tonel heading in
The English struggled to play any sort of football as we defended magnificently and never looked like conceding a goal. Ednilson came close to a 2nd when his free kick hit the foot of the post and Felipe Teixeira also came close.
We played some good football and Tiago, Ednilson and Miguel in the middle of park were all excellent.
Only down side to this victory wass the injury shocker to Cesar Peixoto of Belenenses
It was an opportunity for him to make an impression and the early signs were good, but he picked up an injury and could misss the rest of the season and the championships itself
But we will have to hope the injury isn't as bad as first thought...
England are in our U21 Championship group so we hold the early psychological edge. The English commentators gave us lots of credit for our display as England lost their first game under coach David Platt.
