From hell to heaven
Portugal went from hell to heaven throughout Monday’s game against Slovenia.
The lowest point was (who would have thought!) marked by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The striker missed a penalty in extra time that would have given the Portuguese team the advantage on the scoreboard.
He became emotional on the field, cried, and needed to be comforted by his teammates.
In the penalties, it was time for the hero to appear.
Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa saved ALL of Slovenia’s shots and qualified Portugal for the quarter-finals.
He became the first goalkeeper in Euro history to save three shots in a penalty shootout.

It’s not news for Portugal
In 2016, when Portugal won the Euro, the team had to face three extra times on the way to the title.
In the round of 16, the Portuguese beat Croatia.
In the quarterfinals, they needed penalties to beat Poland.
Finally, the decision against France was also decided in extra time, with Éder’s historic goal.

We will have an extension!
Let’s go to extra time in Frankfurt!

It’s not for lack of trying
Considering Euro and World Cup games, Cristiano Ronaldo has already attempted 60 shots from direct free kicks.
He has one goal from those attempts.
It was in the 2018 World Cup, against Spain.
On that occasion, the goal gave Portugal a draw in the group stage duel that ended 3 x 3.
In this game against Slovenia, CR7 has already taken four free kicks straight at goal.
He’s scored one. 😶

Ronaldo stealing the show
Cristiano Ronaldo’s first goal in this Euro has not yet been scored.
But he has been stealing the show in this first half between Portugal and Slovenia.
With every ball he fails to finish or every shot that doesn’t go towards the goal, he makes his dissatisfaction clear.
He even had a free kick close to the area at his disposal.
Before the shot, Ronaldo started shouting at himself. Afterwards, he waved his arms, regretting the shot going wide.
In the first half of this round of 16 game, CR7 had a total of three shots.

What a recovery!
If attacks are rare, it is time to highlight defenses.
Theo Hernandez made an incredible recovery at speed to stop a shot from Carrasco.
The Frenchman, at the last moment, made a sliding tackle to block the shot, which could have been very dangerous.

But the mask he has been wearing in this Euro still draws attention.
Mbappé himself has already shown himself to be uncomfortable with the fact that he needs the accessory.
