Northern Ireland was not successful when they played past through rival Russia, to which they lost 2-0. Their 1-1 draw against Luxembourg left them hanging in fourth place of Group F.
Citing Russia’s 1-0 win against Portugal, Hughes believes that his side can beat the Portuguese even though they do not get dominant possession of the ball. He noted that his side plans to “sit and defend and hit [Portugal] on the counter attack."
