Portugal hang on to win bruising battle with 10-man Hungary
Monday, September 4, 2017 IST
Budapest: Portugal helped their chances of qualifying directly for next year's World Cup when Andre Silva's goal gave them a bruising 1-0 win away to Hungary, who played for an hour with 10 men on Sunday.
Silva headed in Cristiano Ronaldo's pinpoint cross three minutes after halftime to give Portugal their seventh successive win in Group B, keeping them three points behind Switzerland who won 3-0 in Latvia to maintain their 100 percent record.
Hungary's Tamas Priskin was shown a straight red card for elbowing Pepe, one of the several nasty challenges in the match.
Portugal and Switzerland each have one game to play before a showdown in Lisbon on Oct. 10.
