Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari believes his side are half the way through to the knockout stage with the 2-0 victory over Turkey on Saturday. Pepe and Raul Meireles scored to put the Portuguese on top of Group A, and 'Felipao' highlighted the importance of the opening match win. "We showed good technical quality and were impressive physically. That is thanks to the medical team who do a fantastic job – the players are in really good shape," said the Brazilian. "We are 50 per cent of the way towards qualifying. If we get six points we should qualify, so 50 per cent after one match is excellent. "I have taken part in a few tournaments and I know how important it is to win the first match. We are going to keep up this rhythm and are going to be confident, but without getting overconfident." Portugal's next game will be against Czech Republic, who snatched a 1-0 win from co-hosts Switzerland.
