Lisbon (Portugal), Sep 20 (AP) The Portuguese league says 200 trees will be donated for planting for each goal scored in this weekend's rounds of games as part of the competition's response to wildfires that have devastated the country.

The league announced the initiative in a statement issued Friday, as Portuguese firefighters continue to battle a series of blazes that have burned in large parts of the country's north since last weekend.
