Cristiano Ronaldo and company two steps away from winning a championship.
Poland, like in the match with Switzerland in the 1/8 finals, bet on an early goal. Surely the team exceeded the expectations of Adam Nawalka, because the scoring was opened already on the second minute – Grosicki in the centre of the box found Lewandowski, but the captain of the “Footage” shot in the near corner of the printed patrício.
Poland several times he escaped in a promising counterattack, but was unable to completely kill the opponent. The Portuguese acted without much ingenuity, hinged gear trying to find the head of Ronaldo. Cristiano was again under double custody, that did not stop Portugal equalize. In the 33rd minute beginner Bayern Sanchez blow of metres with 20-ti, not without the aid of a deflection, forced Fabian to take the ball from
the mesh of the gate.
After that, the game calmed down. Last chance to avoid overtime in the 85th minute was Ronaldo, but the scorer of Portugal after a perfect transfer, Moutinho managed not to hit the ball.
In overtime, all were limited to half chances – the team have firmly set their sights on a penalty shoot-out and achieved that goal. In a series of 11-meter shots, the key was the misfire Cuba blaszczykowski – patrício caught the ball right corner, then Quaresma was sent to Portugal in the semi-finals of the European championship.
Surprisingly, the Portuguese for Euro 2016 have not won a single match. This does not prevent the team to claim the title and in the semifinals Ronaldo and his entourage will play the winner of the Wales – Belgium.
