Portugal 1, Angola 0

This game looked like it was going to be a blowout from the opening whistle. Portuguese super-striker Pauleta almost scored just 13 seconds in. He then did score in the 4th minute, to finish off an awesome run by 78-year-old Figo. But Angola pulled it together and played Portugal tough the rest of the way. They never looked much like scoring, but they weren't embarassed either.

Goal scorers:

Pedro Pauleta (4'), Portugal (1-0)


Highlight of the match: Before start of second half, the ESPN commentator said the capital of Portugal is Lisbian, before correcting himself.
