Bosnia-Herzegovina Vs. Portugal Live, Euro 2012 Qualifying Playoffs: Another Blown Ronaldo Chance

Goodness me, Cristiano Ronaldo. That's an even better chance for the Portuguese menace than the first-half opportunity he spurned - an absolutely glorious backheel flick from Nani releases the Real Madrid star on the left for a one on one with Asmir Begovic, but the ball bobbles off the turf at just the wrong moment, turning what was possibly a goal-bound shot into a hilariously sliced effect that doesn't even buzz the side netting. Ronaldo looks down at the ground in disgust, and he has a point - that bounce rather ruined any chance he had of scoring.

At the other end of the pitch, Bosnia have stepped up their game. Edin Dzeko's playing a little better this half and they're having more joy breaking through the back line. If this keeps up Portugal are realllly going to regret not notching when they've had the chance.

We’ll have live coverage of this match and all of the Euro 2012 Qualifying playoffs action in our Euro 2012 Qualifying playoffs, first legs StoryStream. For more on the entire world of football, check out SB Nation Soccer.
