Late scare for Portugal

ALMATY, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Portugal's Ariza Makukula and Cristiano Ronaldo gave them a 2-1 win over Kazakhstan in their Euro 2008 Group A qualifier on Wednesday.

Portugal, who move within a point of group leaders Poland,

went ahead in the 84th minute when substitute Makukula headed

home Ricardo Quaresma's right-wing cross.

Cristiano Ronaldo then powered in a second goal during added

time following a pass from Nani before Kazakhstan got a late

consolation with a Dmitry Byakov header.

The win leaves Portugal on 23 points, three clear of

third-placed Finland with two matches remaining. The top two

teams qualify for the finals in Austria and Switzerland.
