Deco is Back

Deco was back in the side as Portugal sought out the win needed to qualify for the Second Round.

Iran didn't make life easy for the Portuguese and held out for over an hour. Then Deco struck from outside the D and Cristiano Ronaldo increased Portugal's lead, a quarter of an hour later.

The win means Portugal have qualified for the Second Round.

Mexico need a point against Portugal to be sure of qualification, while a win would put the Mexicans top of the group.

If Mexico lose and Angola beat Iran, the Africans could qualify; if they end up with a better goal differential than Mexico.

Final Score:
Portugal 2 - Iran 0
