C.Ronaldo almost turned into a sinner, Portugal won a thrilling penalty shootout

C. Ronaldo almost became a sinner for Portugal in the match against Slovenia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024. However, the European Selecao won a thrilling victory after a penalty shootout. They will face France in the quarterfinals.

C. Ronaldo has yet to score a goal at Euro 2024. Therefore, this player’s desire to score in the match against Slovenia in the round of 16 of Euro 2024 is very great.

Once again, the entire Portuguese team “pumped the ball” for superstar number 7. However, this striker has not been able to escape bad luck at Euro 2024.

In the match against Slovenia, C. Ronaldo had 8 shots, including 4 free kicks, but could not beat goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

After 90 minutes of play ended 0-0, the two teams entered extra time. At this time, CR7 still had a very good chance to score when Portugal was awarded a penalty.

However, on the 11m mark, C. Ronaldo failed to execute. After this situation, the Portuguese superstar burst into tears. His teammates had to comfort the captain.

Also in extra time, Pepe made a fatal mistake when he lost the ball dangerously, allowing Sesko to run down and face the goalkeeper. Fortunately, goalkeeper Diogo Costa made an excellent save.

Perhaps, C. Ronaldo and Pepe must secretly thank Diogo Costa. In the penalty shootout, this goalkeeper saved 3 penalties for Slovenia, helping Portugal overcome their opponents with a score of 3-0 in the penalty shootout (C. Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva successfully executed).

After a thrilling victory over Slovenia, Portugal will face France in the quarter-finals.
