Inspired Ricardo earns Portugal point in Finland
HELSINKI, Sept 6 (Reuters)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo produced a string of fine saves as the World Cup
semi-finalists held on for a 1-1 draw against Finland in their Euro 2008
qualifier on Wednesday.
葡萄牙的守門員Ricardo幾次精采的撲救幫助球隊保住1-1的平手。
Portugal had Ricardo to thank for a point after playing most of the second
half with 10 men following defender Ricardo Costa's dismissal for a second
yellow card on 53 minutes.
葡萄牙應該為到手的1分積分感謝Ricardo。
後衛Ricardo Costa在53分鐘拿到第2張黃牌下場以後，
葡萄牙下半場的大半時間都是以10人應戰。
Finland, who stunned Poland with a 3-1 away victory in their Group A opener
on Saturday made a bright start with defender Sami Hyypia off target with a
free header at the back post.
在上星期3-1客場戰勝波蘭的芬蘭在這場比賽有個漂亮的開局，
後衛Sami Hyypia的頭球稍稍偏出了遠端的門柱。
The hosts took the lead on 23 minutes when Joonas Kolkka broke down the left
wing and Jonatan Johansson tapped home his cross. Nuno Gomes equalised four
minutes before halftime.
主隊在23分鐘取得領先，Jonatan Johansson輕蹭Joonas Kolkka的傳球破門；
Nuno Gomes在中場休息前4分鐘追平比分。
Portugal are clear favourites to win Group A, while the Finns -- with
experienced campaigners like attacking midfielder Jari Litmanen and Hyypia --
are hoping to qualify for their first ever finals in 2008 under new coach Roy
Hodgson, who praised Ricardo's performance after the game.
葡萄牙被視為奪得A組頭名的大熱門。
而有著一些富有經驗的球員（像是Jari Litmanen和Hyypia）的芬蘭，
則希望能夠在新教練Roy Hodgson的執教下首次打進會內賽。
"When you do create good goal chances (against Portugal) you still have
Ricardo to beat and today we were able to beat him once," he said.
Roy Hodgson在賽後讚揚了Ricardo的表現，
他說：「當你（面對葡萄牙）製造了一些好機會的時候，
你還需要通過Ricardo這關，而今天我們只打敗他1次。」
"Their goalkeeper made two exceptionally good saves from Sami Hyypia. If we
would be less modest people we would say we could have won."
「他們的守門員對Sami Hyypia的攻門做出了2次精采的撲救，
如果我們是比較不謙虛的人，就會說其實我們已經贏了。」
When asked whether he was satisfied with four points from two games against
the group favourites, Hodgson added: "I'm overjoyed."
當被問到他是否滿意目前在2場比賽得到4分時，Hodgson說：「我非常高興。」
