Portugal advanced thrillingly, and Ronaldo made a terrible speech after the redemption game! Full of desire to win.
From the early morning of July 2nd, the 1/8 finals of the European Cup will continue to play 2 games, and they are all focus battles! The most exciting is the second game, the match between Portugal and Slovenia, it is said that this is a game where the suspense of victory and defeat will not be too big, because Slovenia is average, and the group stage is 3 consecutive draws without a win, and it will be promoted as the third in the group. Portugal was the first to qualify, winning two consecutive games in the group stage and qualifying one round ahead of schedule.
But this is the case in this European Cup, the strong team is not strong, the weak team is not weak, and the more such a seemingly large gap on paper, the more impossible it is to distinguish the winner within 90 minutes. Sure enough, the game was 0-0 in the 90th minute, and Ronaldo missed the killer goal at the last moment, and there were several high-quality free kicks in regular time, but they did not go into the net. There were a lot of extra-time scenes, Jota made a point, and Ronaldo's penalty was saved! Then, Slovenia almost had an upset, Pepe slipped under his feet, and Sesko got a super big one-on-one knife, but Costa actually saved!
In the penalty shootout, Costa bravely saved 3 penalties in a row! Ronaldo was the first to take a penalty kick, scored steadily, and completed the redemption! 3-0！ Portugal will meet France in the quarter-finals!
Because in the previous game, the French team eliminated Belgium 1-0 with the opponent's own goal and eliminated the European Red Devils.
In addition, the top 8 of the European Championship have been decided, and the remaining 2 groups will face Switzerland vs England and Germany vs Spain.
In an interview after the game, Ronaldo was full of winning spirit and said frankly: sad at the beginning, happy at the end, this is football! They were defending all the time and my penalty was saved by Oblak.
I haven't conceded a penalty this year, but when I needed a penalty at a critical moment, I missed it! The strongest people also have such moments, I was disappointed and sad, but fortunately I won in the end. Thanks Costa! The opposing goalkeeper is also eye-catching.
