Inspired Ricardo earns Portugal point in Finland HELSINKI, Sept 6 (Reuters) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portugal goalkeeper Ricardo produced a string of fine saves as the World Cup semi-finalists held on for a 1-1 draw against Finland in their Euro 2008 qualifier on Wednesday. 葡萄牙的守门员Ricardo几次精采的扑救帮助球队保住1-1的平手。 Portugal had Ricardo to thank for a point after playing most of the second half with 10 men following defender Ricardo Costa's dismissal for a second yellow card on 53 minutes. 葡萄牙应该为到手的1分积分感谢Ricardo。 後卫Ricardo Costa在53分钟拿到第2张黄牌下场以後， 葡萄牙下半场的大半时间都是以10人应战。 Finland, who stunned Poland with a 3-1 away victory in their Group A opener on Saturday made a bright start with defender Sami Hyypia off target with a free header at the back post. 在上星期3-1客场战胜波兰的芬兰在这场比赛有个漂亮的开局， 後卫Sami Hyypia的头球稍稍偏出了远端的门柱。 The hosts took the lead on 23 minutes when Joonas Kolkka broke down the left wing and Jonatan Johansson tapped home his cross. Nuno Gomes equalised four minutes before halftime. 主队在23分钟取得领先，Jonatan Johansson轻蹭Joonas Kolkka的传球破门； Nuno Gomes在中场休息前4分钟追平比分。 Portugal are clear favourites to win Group A, while the Finns -- with experienced campaigners like attacking midfielder Jari Litmanen and Hyypia -- are hoping to qualify for their first ever finals in 2008 under new coach Roy Hodgson, who praised Ricardo's performance after the game. 葡萄牙被视为夺得A组头名的大热门。 而有着一些富有经验的球员（像是Jari Litmanen和Hyypia）的芬兰， 则希望能够在新教练Roy Hodgson的执教下首次打进会内赛。 "When you do create good goal chances (against Portugal) you still have Ricardo to beat and today we were able to beat him once," he said. Roy Hodgson在赛後赞扬了Ricardo的表现， 他说：「当你（面对葡萄牙）制造了一些好机会的时候， 你还需要通过Ricardo这关，而今天我们只打败他1次。」 "Their goalkeeper made two exceptionally good saves from Sami Hyypia. If we would be less modest people we would say we could have won." 「他们的守门员对Sami Hyypia的攻门做出了2次精采的扑救， 如果我们是比较不谦虚的人，就会说其实我们已经赢了。」 When asked whether he was satisfied with four points from two games against the group favourites, Hodgson added: "I'm overjoyed." 当被问到他是否满意目前在2场比赛得到4分时，Hodgson说：「我非常高兴。」 --
