Goalkeeper Saves Ronaldo As Portugal Advance

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY - JULY 01: Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal celebrates scoring the teams first penalty in the penalty shoot out during the UEFA EURO 2024 round of 16 match between Portugal and Slovenia at Frankfurt Arena on July 01, 2024 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

The Selecao attacked with intensity in the early exchanges as after 14 minutes, Fernandes had a chance to touch in a cross at the back post but arrived just a second late. Slovakia absorbed the pressure all the way to halftime but they nearly went to the break a goal behind after Joao Palhinha fired a dangerous shot that missed the post agonizingly wide.

As the Selecao struggled to create chances, Roberto Martinez made an attacking change with 25 minutes to go, as he brought on Diogo Jota in place of Vitinha looking for more bite upfront.
