In pain, Portugal qualified for the quarter-finals of the European Nations Championship 2024, on Monday evening, on penalties (0-0, 3-0 tab).
How difficult it was! Portugal snatched qualification on Monday evening, after a penalty shootout (0-0, 3-0) thanks to Diogo Costa who saved all three Slovenian attempts.
The Portuguese dominated the game, never finding a single chance against a well-organised Slovenian defence and Jan Oblak in a state of grace. When the Atletico Madrid goalkeeper was not there, the post came to his rescue with a shot from Palhinha (45).H+2). Both teams went to extra time.
Ronaldo catches up with the amazing Diogo Costa!
Emotional extra time for Cristiano Ronaldo who had the match ball at his feet from a penalty kick (105H). After facing Jan Oblak for more than 90 minutes, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner once again saw the Slovenian goalkeeper win a duel against him. A stoppage that will go down in Euro history. Just like CR7's screams.
After a terrible mistake by Pepe at the end of extra time, Cescu also had the chance to bid his team through, but Diogo Costa won the head-to-head. Before disgusting the Slovenians during the penalty shootout. The Porto goalkeeper simply saved three of his three attempts, while Ronaldo unleashed the Seleção perfectly by converting his effort this time. The Portuguese will meet the Blues in the quarter-finals on Friday (9pm).
