Record-breaking Costa sends Portugal to last eight

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY - JULY 01: Bernardo Silva of Portugal celebrates Diogo Costa after the penalty 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.

Both teams struggled to get going just past the opening exchanges, but a smart way through for a certain Bernardo Silva cropped up in the box only to see him go wide. After a slow first stanza, no substitutions were put out at the resumption by either side with the A Selecao keen to prolong their bit of momentum.Portugal were close to getting the breakthrough ten minutes after halftime after Joao Cancelo stormed clear to play in Bruno Fernandes, but the Manchester United man was thwarted.

Early drama followed in the additional period when the A Selecao were awarded a penalty when substitute Jota succumbed to a challenge, but Jan Oblak denied Ronaldo and kept the score level.
