Portugal 2-1 Egypt: 5 Talking Points

#3 Portugal win but leave a lot to be desired

Not the best of performances

Now, though they managed to avoid an upset, questions will be asked as to why they left it so late and why no one else rose to the challenge apart from the obvious Ronaldo. Like Messi for Argentina, Portugal rely heavily on Ronaldo to get the job done.

The win will mask some of the deficiencies of the squad. Gelson Martins' cameo was impressive and he will add a lot of pace on the wings, but the form of Andre Silva will worry the Portuguese fans who want their team to go deep in the World Cup and hope their biggest sporting icon can lift the World Cup.

The defence is also an ageing one and while Salah was on the pitch, Egypt did threaten to add to their lead on the break. Plenty to sort out for Fernando Santos before the World Cup starts.
