Cristiano Rolando hammered after tearful Euro 2024 breakdown
Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa saved three penalties in the shootout against Slovenia, after Ronaldo had missed his spot kick in extra-time to send his side into the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 after a night of high drama in Frankfurt.
Slovenia, the lowest ranked side left in the competition, had battled their way through a goalless 90 minutes, and went close themselves through Benjamin Sesko.
Ronaldo – who had seen several free-kicks fly off target – then stepped up with a penalty in the first period of extra-time, but goalkeeper Jan Oblak made a brilliant save at full stretch.
Sesko then spurned a chance to win it for Slovenia when a slip from veteran defender Pepe saw him race clear, only for Costa to pull off a superb block.
