Portugal jumped to the top of Group A at Euro 2008 today after beating Turkey 2-0 in a thrilling and deserved win.

Pepe opened the scoring after 61 minutes, coming from defence to beat Turkey keeper Volkan Demirel.

Portugal deserved their win, with Cristiano Ronaldo hitting the post and Gomes also hitting the woodwork twice after the break.

A mentioned, Portugal deserved its victory, however Turkey on the other hand seemed hell bent on inflicting as much pain on the Portuguese as possible. There were a number of bookings and in my opinion Aurelio should have been sent off for his vicious tackle on Nani. The tackle left a gash on Nani’s leg and it could have easily resulted in a lot worse injury.

Raul Meireles scored the second goal in injury time and now Portugal face the Czech Republic, 1-0 winners over Switzerland earlier, on Wednesday with Turkey up against co-hosts the Swiss on the same day.
