Portugal's Pepe beats Turkey with the old one-two.Despite controlling the run of play, the hosts had the match pulled out from under them when the Czech's Vaclav Sverkos converted one of his side's few opportunities -- and the match's lone goal. For the Swiss faithful, even worse than the loss was the news that Switzerland's lone star and captain Alexander Frei will miss the rest of the tournament with a leg injury sustained in the opening half.
Portugal 2-0 Turkey
Pepe (61)
Raul Meireles (90)
Portugal's quality was on display as they demonstrated clear superiority over the Turks in their debut match. Pepe's textbook give-and-go with Nuno Gomes was the goal of the day.
