Portugal will take a slender advantage into the second leg of their World Cup qualification play-off against Bosnia-Herzegovina after Bruno Alves scored the only goal of the match in Lisbon.
A tightly-contested encounter was decided on the half-hour mark when Manchester United winger Nani crossed to the far post where Alves was on hand to head home.
Nani, who deputised on the wing in the absence of the injured Cristiano Ronaldo, was Portugal’s most enterprising player. However, the hosts’ hopes of finding a second goal were continually thwarted by a disciplined display from Bosnia-Herzegovina.
