Deco: We rode our luck

Portugal midfielder Deco admitted his side rode their luck as they claimed a 1-0 win in the first leg of their World Cup play-off against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Lisbon.

Porto defender Bruno Alves scored the only goal of the game after 31 minutes when he headed in a cross from Nani.

"In the end we had some luck but even this advantage is not decisive. The important thing was not conceding," Deco said after the game. "It was a difficult game, but overall we were better and controlled almost the whole game."

He added: "In Zenica if we score a goal there, everything will be easier, but we must be very intelligent and we must hold on to the ball."

The Chelsea midfielder was substituted after 84 minutes after sustaining a knock, but believes he will be fit for Wednesday's second leg.

"I felt a pain in the adductor and I came off to put ice on it, that was all it was," he added.
