Portugal stunned 0-2

Estoril (Portugal), April 1: A Portugal side missing Cristiano Roldo suffered a shock 0-2 loss against African islanders Cape Verde at the Estadio Antonio Coimbra da Mota here. Odair Fortes and Gege scored the Blue Sharks’ goals before half-time and the dismissal of Portugal defender Andre Pinto on the hour-mark made a comeback even more unlikely. It would not materialise. It was the first time since 1986 that Portugal lost to an African tion. (IANS)
