The Portuguese paper Record raises a good point.
Why did Queiroz not use one striker in the last 26 minutes? He replaced striker Hugo Almeida with Quaresma, a attacking midfielder. Nani was then replaced with another attacking midfielder, Danny.
Who can Danny, Quaresma and CR set up goals for if there was not striker from the 64th minute?
Nuno Gomes was on the bench. A wiser choice might have been keeping the two attacking midfielders Quaresma, CR and put Nuno Gomes as a forward. Either Quaresma or Danny but not both at the same time.
