Portugal's Bernardo Silva celebrates with Diogo Costa after scoring the winning penalty during the penalty shootout.FRANKFURT, Germany - Goalkeeper Diogo Costa saved all three penalties as Portugal won 3-0 in a shootout against a brave Slovenia side who had held them to a 0-0 draw after Cristiano Ronaldo’s extra-time miss from the spot in a dramatic Euro 2024 last 16 clash on Monday.
Costa saved from Josip Ilicic, Jure Balkovec and Benjamin Verbic in the shootout to send his side into the next round with a performance that lacked spark for the most part. Portugal were awarded the spot-kick late in the first half of the added period when Diogo Jota's storming run into the box was illegally stopped by defender Vanja Drkusic, who had already been booked and was lucky not to receive a second yellow card.
Slovenia’s tactics were limited and every time they had a scrap of possession they sent the ball long to forwards Andraz Sporar and Sesko to try and make something of it.
