In the second half of the game, Cancelo broke through the right side and crossed, and the B seat was unmarked to get a chance to shoot, and a shot was high. Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kick from the edge of the box goes straight to goal and is blocked by Oblak. Slovenia counter-attacked quickly, and Sheshko forced an overtake past Pepe, but unfortunately the one-on-one chance was pushed wide and missed a good chance to score. Slovenia defended well, lacking sharp players in the front line, which is the reason for three consecutive draws in the group stage.
