Both sides failed to find the back of the net in regulation time. In extra time, the Portuguese men's football team originally got a godsend, Diogo Jota burst into the penalty area and was brought down, and the Portuguese men's football team won a valuable penalty, but Cristiano Ronaldo faced such a godsend, and shot at goal, but was saved by his old rival Jan Oblak! The 39-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo cried directly on the field because he missed this penalty, and his teammates stepped forward to comfort him, and the game will continue!
In extra time, the two sides could no longer find the back of the net, and the game went to a penalty shootout.
In the penalty shootout, Josip Ilicic of the Slovenian men's football team missed the penalty as soon as he came up; Cristiano Ronaldo came out again to take a penalty, and this time, he redeemed himself by scoring the ball to stabilize the Portuguese men's team. For this, Cristiano Ronaldo also apologized. Portugal men's goalkeeper Diogo Costa then came to his senses and made successive saves. In the end, the Portuguese men's football team defeated the Slovenian men's football team 3-0 in the penalty shootout and advanced to the quarterfinals of this European Cup.
