In Portugal's quiet and unspoilt Costa Verde you won't be competing with the tourist hordes, Mary Ann Haslam discovers on a tranquil bike tour.

There is a supplement for e-bike hire of £80pp. Travel to Portugal not included,inntravel.co.uk. More information visitportugal.com Happily, the scenery was so absorbing that the distance flew by. On check-out days, luggage was transported ahead so that we could concentrate on the journey. I was eager to set off and explore on a self-guided hotel-to-hotel cycling trip. I counted myself among them – but having been impressed successively further north by Lisbon, Sintra and Porto, I looked to the far north for a recent cycling trip.

A last-minute defeat to Serbia in their final qualifier has left Fernando Santos’ side facing Turkey in a semi-final play-off.

Portugal face Turkey in the Estadio do Dragao in Porto in a semi-final play off match that they should win.

Bernardo Silva was at his effervescent best as Portugal moved into a play-off final with North Macedonia.

There was one nervous moment when he went up for a header and as he landed, a Turkish player fell directly on his back at full force before he got a passing boot in the head. He helped out his defence, doubling up on wingers and he was the first to press from the front, often sprinting 30 metres to chase the ball and put pressure on the Turkey back-line. But Yilmaz blazed his spot-kick over and the chance to force extra time was gone, with the hosts grabbing a decisive third from Matheus Nunes in added time.
