France Send Ronaldo's Portugal Crashing Out
HAMBURG, GERMANY - JULY 05: Theo Hernandez of France celebrates with the team mates after scoring the winning penalty during the UEFA EURO 2024 quarter-final match between Portugal and France at Volksparkstadion on July 05, 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. Portugal kept the same side that could not score in 120 minutes but eventually defeated Slovakia on penalties, as captain Cristiano Ronaldo was accompanied by Rafael Leao, Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.
Les Bleus got into the game after the first quarter of an hour but they were also not allowed enough room in the last third, as the speedy Mbappe broke away only once on the flank before he was crowded. The game suddenly opened up and ten minutes later Camavinga had unbelievable opportunity for Didier Deschamps' charges, with only shot-stopper Diogo Costa to beat but he curled his shot just wide of the far post.
Ronaldo had the first big chance for the Selecao early in extra-time after a cut-back found him unmarked in the box but he fired his shot wide.
