Paulo Bento believes that his Portugal team were deserved winners against Denmark on Wednesday.

Portugal manager Paulo Bento has claimed that it would have been unfair for his side to draw with Denmark on Wednesday.

A late Silvestre Varela goal earned Portugal a 3-2 victory and Bento insists that his men were clearly the better team.

Bento said: "The team were focused throughout and showed real quality.

"We created chances, especially in the first half, and I think 2-0 would have been a just result at half time.

"The equaliser was unjust but we didn't bow our heads, we showed character and got the winner we deserved."

Portugal are currently third in Group B with only the Netherlands left to play.
