Czech Republic defeated Montenegro on aggregate 3:0 (2:0 in the first match).

At the same time the match between Croatia and Turkey was played. Croatia beat Turkey in the first match 3:0, so they didn't need a goal and the second match was finished without goals.

Another game which was played equal is between Republic of Ireland and Estonia (1:1). And that means that Republic of Ireland won because the result in the first game was 3:0.

And the match which you don't see everyday was played in Portugal. We already know that the game in Zenica was finished without goals, so any shot could determine the winner in this duel.

Ronaldo took care for the beauty of this game by scoring a great goal from a free kick in 8th minute of the match. Portugal players took control of the match and Nani found a way to the net 14 minutes after Ronaldo's goal.

But then, wnen everybody thought that only Portugal players are on a field Bosnian players had a nice counter-attack and Dzeko hit a sidebar of a goal.

This was a warning for Portugal, and then in 41st minute a ball hit an arm of one Portugal player inside the box which means a penalty kick. Misimovic was concentrated and scored a goal.

The referee blows for a half-time.

The second half-time had only started and Ronaldo used a good chance and scored a goal for 3:1. There was one more bad thing for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Lilic got a red card.

Spahic showed why they are here by decreasing a lead to 3:2. The victory was still in the air! And then Postiga showed his magic to supporters, first goal in 72nd minute, then Veloso in 80th,and again Postiga in 82nd for 6:2!

There was one more 100% chance for Portugal, but there wasn't any change in the result.
