Portugal’s World Cup hopes lie in the balance, writes Pedro Pinto

“It’s injury time in Tirana and, with the score at 1-1, Portugal know that they are effectively on the brink of elimination from the 2010 World Cup. Another long ball is floated into the Albanian area and, as the home goalkeeper fails to hold the ball, Porto centre-back Bruno Alves appears at the back post to head the ball in. Cue wild celebrations on the Portugal bench. It’s as if they have just beaten Brazil in the World Cup Final.” (World Soccer)
