Draw with Russia leaves Portugal needing a win

The national under-19 team were held by Russia this weekend, on matchday two of Euro Elite Round Group 6.

With Alvalade stars Com Pedro Silva and Pedro Empis in Emílio Peixe's starting line-up, Portugal were actually leading 1-0 at the break, courtesy of a goal form Pedro Delgado (41’). However, the Russians managed to split the points with a last minute strike from Obolski.

The result means that Portugal must win on Tuesday if they are to move on in to the European Championship Finals.
