Portugal secure World Cup spot

Portugal belatedly secured their place at next summer's World Cup with an impressive 1-0 over Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica.

After scraping a 1-0 win in Lisbon at the weekend with a laboured showing on home turf, Carlos Queiroz's side upped their game to close out the qualifying play-off and book a ticket to South Africa.

Queiroz had midfield enforcer Raul Meireles to thank as he scored the only goal of the game as his team-mates missed several clear chances.
