With the win, the Lelos took the record against their Portuguese counterparts to 17 wins from 24 games, with three draws and four defeats in the remaining fixtures.
It also follows the national team’s “historic” triumph over Italy last week, which marked the Lelos’ first-ever win against a Tier 1 nation.
