\"EuroLviv: <\/strong>Substitute Silvestre Varela hit an 87th-minute winner to give Portugal a 3-2 win over Denmark in their Euro 2012 Group B encounter in Lviv Wednesday. The 27-year-old Porto winger hit low into the corner to snatch Portugal’s first points of the campaign after their 1-0 defeat to Germany.<\/p>\n

In doing so, he spared Cristiano Ronaldo’s blushes after the Real Madrid forward squandered two one-on-one chances in a low-confidence display.<\/p>\n

Nicklas Bendtner thought he had sealed a point for his team to build on their shock 1-0 defeat of the Netherlands last week with a header 10 minutes from time.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid center-back Pepe had put the Portuguese in front on 25 minutes with a glancing header at the near post from Joao Moutinho’s corner.<\/p>\n

Former Tottenham Hotspur forward Helder Postiga broke a goal drought stretching back to November to put Portugal two up nine minutes later.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old stole a march on defender Simon Kjaer to lash a Nani cross into the top corner from 10 yards out.<\/p>\n

The Danes pulled one back through Bendtner on 41 minutes, the Sunderland striker nodding into an empty net after Michael Krohn-Dehli headed across the goal to find the former Arsenal man totally unmarked.<\/p>\n

Germany face the Netherlands later Wednesday. (IANS)<\/em><\/p>\n
