This is the day that North Korea will love to erase from their memories forever! The rain and then a sequence of goals flying into their net! First came Raul Meireles at the 28 minute, striking it in to give the Portuguese the lead, the North Koreans managed to hold on up to the haltime mark, not knowing what awaited the after that break. at the 53' minute, Portugal again launched an attack that led to a goal via Simao, making it 2-0. Hardly had the shock been absorbed than Hugo Almeida made it 3-0 at 54'. 60' minute came, and yet again a goal for portugal this time Tiago netted it in making it 4-0. Liedson made it 5-0 at 81' and thinking that it was over, finally Cristiano ended his goalless drought by kissing the net at 87'. Tiago showed no mercy for Korea, as he sealed it fully at 88', making it 7-0! what a game!! What a result!! I end my commentaries here.

Portugal moved up several gears in the second half and ended up toying with their opponents. Full value for their seven goals. But North Korea, though battered, should not be embarrassed - they were up against a good team at its best, and they never gave up the fight
 (important to note-Portugal shots hit the bars at least two times)
