01/07/24 – 23:51 – Portugal miraculously beat Slovenia (0-0, tab: 3-0)
Favorites in this round of 16, Ronaldo’s gang miraculously avoided the trap set by Slovenia. Well organized defensively and thanks to an inspired Oblak in his goal, the underdog caused problems for Martinez’s players, who were unable to finish the actions. Clumsy in front of goal, the Portuguese were also unfortunate, as illustrated by the post hit by Palhinha, just before the break. In extra time, thanks to a solitary raid by Diogo Jota, Ronaldo had the penalty to send his team to paradise. The Atlético de Madrid goalkeeper did not hear it that way by pushing back the attempt. Close to the precipice after this incident, Portugal were able to count on Diogo Costa: the goalkeeper won his duel against Sesko at the end of extra time, and finished in apotheosis by pushing back the three opposing penalty shots. Ronaldo, Fernandes and Silva, for their part, succeeded in their try. All’s well that ends well for the winner of Euro 2016, who will meet France again, eight years later, in a remake of the final at the Stade de France.
3 – Portuguese Diogo Costa is the first goalkeeper to stop 3 shots on goal in a single session at the Euro and the first to not concede a single goal in a session in the competition. Savior. #EURO2024 pic.twitter.com/7lLjhnlP7w
