  Beto

  Was hardly forced into a single save as the visitors found it difficult to get forward. Looked strong when claiming the ball and clearing from set pieces.

  Bruno Alves

  Not faced with much during the 90 minutes but when under the occasional counterattack he struggled to cope and seemed clumsy when rushing out from the back.

  Fabio Coentrao

  A real let-down for his side on the day. He failed to offer the width that he usually does on the left wing in what was an extremely reserved performance. Should have given his side an extra option more frequently.

  João Pereira

  One of Portugal's better players as he pushed on relentlessly down the right. Made Urdinov indecisive but there was no one to get on the end of his crosses.

  Rolando

  A solid body at the back he made a number of important challenges and interceptions whilst also being strong in the air.

  Joao Moutinho

  Was comfortable on the ball and was offered a lot of space in the centre of the pack. Withdrawn at half-time having failed to provide a creative injection.

  Miguel Veloso

  Played the deepest out of the midfield trio and kept it simple during his stint. Kept the ball moving across the pitch to maintain possession but offered little more than just the basics.

  Quaresma

  Was kept quiet by Urdinov in the first period but upped his game in the second. However, he still failed to produce anything of note in a lacklsutre display.

  Rubén Micael

  Tracked the ball in the centre of the park well and picked apart the odd counterattack. Replaced by Nani just after the hour mark to add some creativity and pace.

  Cristiano Ronaldo

  Did not get a lot of joy on the left and so drifted inside for much of the game. Provided the greatest threat for his side but was limited to efforts from distance that missed the target more often than not.

  Hélder Postiga

  The central striker role continues to be an issue for Portugal with an ineffectual performance from Postiga. His movement was poor but was up against a five-man defence where space was always going to be limited.

  Silvestre Varela

  Provided the hosts with some much needed width late in the second half but perhaps tried to do too much with the ball.

  Added a greater physical threat than Postiga but his involvement was minimal.

  Martin Bogatinov

  Dealt with what he was faced with comfortably and will have been pleased to have earned a clean sheet. Showed strong hands to hold on to the majority of shots on his goal.

  Nikolce Noveski

  Commanded the defence and ensured that his team stayed watertight in the centre of the pitch. He limited the space available and was key to ending the afternoon without conceding.

  Stefan Ristovski

  Had a relatively quiet game despite both Coentrao and Ronaldo beginning down his side. He also attempted to get forward as much as possible without neglecting his defensive duties.

  Vance Sikov

  Read the play competently and provided a strong physical presence in the heart of the defence. Kept Postiga quiet and should have scored with a free header early in the second half.

  Yani Urdinov

  Coped with Quaresma but struggled when Pereira doubled up and became clumsy under pressure. The Besiktas winger had a better second half but the left-back will be pleased with his display.

  Boban Grncarov

  At times his positioning let him down when the ball was delivered from wide areas. On the deck, though, he remained stout and helped his side keep the threat on Bogatinov's goal to a minimum.

  Nikola Gligorov

  Effectively became part of the back line as Portugal heaped on large amounts of pressure. Helped his side ride out the worst of it but did not venture forward.

  Stefan Spirovski

  Had his team's best chance of the first half but he dragged his effort wide of the far post. He put in a combative midfield performance and defended well.

  Goran Pandev

  The focal point of Macedonia's attack but he struggled to make the most of the ball. His touch was off when he needed to be clinical and failed to test Beto.

  Ivan Trickovski

  Samir Fazli

  A hugely ineffectual display in attack alongside Pandev. Rarely saw the ball and ultimately contributed very little to his team's display.
