3-0！ Portugal defeated Slovenia on penalties to advance to the last eight. In fact, the Slovenian team definitely had a chance to upset in this game, but it was a pity that they wasted their own opportunities, of which Sesko failed to score twice and was definitely the sinner of the team.
In this game, although Portugal clearly took the initiative, the Slovenian team was a huge threat on the counter-attack, and they created enough chances to eliminate Portugal. Unexpectedly, the 21-year-old talented center Sesco missed 2 single knives.
In the 61st minute of the second half, Sesko's first one-on-one chance appeared, he got rid of Pepe in front, and then faced Portugal goalkeeper Costa, but what he didn't expect was a sweeping shot, but it was outrageously wide.
In the 115th minute of extra time, Pepe made a mistake at the back, he stopped the ball to Sesco, and then he dribbled the ball into the Portuguese penalty area. In the face of the attacking Costa, Sesko was very confident and pushed it directly, but was blocked by Costa with his foot.
It was precisely because of these two single shots that the Slovenian team could only stage a penalty shootout with the Portuguese team, and finally Costa was a god, he saved 3 penalties from the Slovenian team alone, and the Portuguese team made all 3 free throws, and finally the Slovenian team could only regret being eliminated 0-3 and finally missing the quarterfinals.
After 3-0, Slovenia became the 14th team to be eliminated from this European Championship. In fact, in this big game against Portugal, the Slovenian team, ranked 57th in the world, performed very well, and they forced the invincible Portuguese team into a desperate situation. In 120 minutes of this game, they are only one goal away from eliminating Portugal to advance to the quarterfinals, and if Sesco hadn't missed two solo chances, it would probably be Slovenia who had the last laugh in this game. Especially in the single knife in overtime, Sesko did not score, which is really too undeserved.
Last season, Sesko was impressive at Leipzig (14 goals in 31 league games in his first season in the Bundesliga), and he also attracted the attention of many of Europe's biggest clubs. This summer's European Championships is a great stage for him to show his worth. Unexpectedly, Sesko scored 0 goals in 4 European Championship games, and missed 2 single knives in this knockout game, and he messed up the excellent performance opportunity. Seeing Sesko's performance, the giants who were ready to move him before may not be interested. Fortunately, Sesco is still young, and he still has a chance to prove himself in the future, provided that he really has the ability!
