THIS UNEXPECTED VICTORY FOR LUXEMBOURG BEGAN IN THE 20TH MINUTE, WHEN CENTRE-HALF CIRELLI PASSED TO OUTSIDE-RIGHT ADOLF SCHMIDT, A 26-YEAR OLD LOCKSMITH WHO PLAYS SOCCER FOR FUN ON SUNDAY AFTERNOONS, WHO GAVE PORTUGUESE GOALKEEPER PEREIRA NO CHANCE, AND THE HOME SIDE WERE ONE GOAL UP. THE SCORE REMAINED AT 1-0 UP TO THE HALF-TIME WHISTLE.

SCHMIDT PUT LUXEMBOURG EVEN FURTHER AHEAD WHEN HE SCORED TWO QUICK GOALS IN THE 54TH AND 57TH MINUTES. THIS SEEMED TO SHAKE THE MIGHTY PORTUGUESE, FOR SIX MINUTES LATER INSIDE-RIGHT EUSEBIO SCORED FOR THE VISITORS TO MAKE IT 3-1. ONE MINUTE AFTER KICK-OFF, LUXEMBOURG'S OUTSIDE-LEFT HOFFMAN SHOT PAST PEREIRA TO MAKE IT 4-1. THE FINAL GOAL OF THE MATCH CAME IN THE 89TH MINUTE WHEN PORTUGUESE OUTSIDE-RIGHT YAUCAS SHOT PAST LUXEMBOURG GOALKEEPER STEFFEN TO MAKE IT 4-2.
