1-0 early in the game, who scored?
I was kind of puzzled when Angola pulled their only threatening player. His first bicycle attempt missed the ball completely, his second was too high, but surely his third ... And he had such nice hair, too.-Job- said:Whew, that was a long game. Portugal sure missed Deco, but Figo started the game really well, that first goal was all his. Didn't like the way Angola played at all, lots of fouls and they didn't seem too worried about scoring, even when down by one.
The only goal for Portugal in the match against Angola was scored by striker Pauleta.
The goal for Portugal against Angola was scored in the 4th minute of the match through a header by Pauleta from a cross by midfielder Luis Figo.
Yes, Angola had a few chances to score, including a shot from Mateus in the second half that hit the post, but were unable to convert any of them into a goal.
The man of the match in the Portugal vs. Angola game was midfielder Luis Figo, who provided the assist for the winning goal and was a key player in Portugal's attack throughout the game.
No, this was not the first time Portugal and Angola faced each other in a football match. They had previously played against each other in a friendly match in 2001, which ended in a 5-1 victory for Portugal.
