The goal tally continues to rise as raindrops fall In Austria and Switzerland.

After giving up the equalizer in the first half, Portugal canceled the Czech’s comeback attempt in the second frame.  Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 11th goal in his last 19 Portuguese appearances. With a surgical strike from the top of the penalty area, he wrote off the Czech Republic’s hopes of staying even.  Ricardo Quaresma finished off the balance of the scoring with a 90th minute deposit in the back of the net to leave it at 3-0.

Though trailing 1-0 at the half, Turkey took delight in punching holes in Switzerland’s defense.  After Hakan Yakin netted for the Swiss, their edge was neutralized by Semih Senturk ‘s second half equalizer.

Arda Turan bathed in glory as his 90th minute winner set up the Turks for their decisive match with The Czech Republic.  Sadly, the clock has run out on Switzerland, as the co hosts have zero points after two matches.
