The team of Fernando Santos for the second time in history reached the final of the European championship.
The first time was very fresh – the team preferred not to risk, and the only shot on target after a solo passage struck Gareth bale – Rui patrício test care didn’t.
The key to the match was a three-minute span in the second half. On 50 minutes, Ronaldo cross after the filing Guerreiro chic dive that hammered the ball under the crossbar. After three minutes, the captain of the Portuguese acted as an assistant – shot/cross from Cristiano leg corrected Nani.
Wales rushed forward, but Portugal, despite the absence of key defender Pepe, no problems handled all of the attacks of the Welsh. On the counterattack, the Portuguese repeatedly could finish off the Bale and company. Ronaldo, Pereira and mário are unable to put a fat point in the semifinals.
After 12 years, Portugal will once again play in the final of the European championship. Germany or France? Find out in 24 hours.
