　　World-Scorer Pauleta admits Portugal must do better

　　By Alastair Himmer

　　COLOGNE, June 11 (Reuters) - Scorer Pauleta said Portugal would have to improve after struggling to kill off Angola's challenge before winning their Group D opener 1-0 on Sunday.

　　Pauleta netted after Luis Figo cut through the Africans' defence in the fourth minute but the expected avalanche of goals for the 2004 European Championship finalists never materialised.

　　"It was the first match of the tournament (for us), which is always difficult. The important thing is that we got the three points against an Angola team that really played well," Pauleta told German TV.

　　"We have to improve, that's clear."

　　Man of the Match Figo agreed, saying: "We could have played a little better but we're satisfied with the result.

　　"Our plan was to get three points so 1-0 was as good as 5-0. If we win the next match against the team that lost in our group (Iran), they're out and we're through."

　　He added: "Angola came at us with more spirit in the second half and put us under pressure with their speed.

　　"But we could have scored more too. It was a real battle right to the end."
