Portugal goes into the semi final of the Euro 2016 tournament after defeating Poland.

Well, i wouldn't say i supported poland but definitely didn't support Portugal but I wanted Portugal to lose. It was an amazing match by the way, with Poland  oming through with an early goal from Robert Lewandowski in the 2nd minute of the first half, a goal known to be the second fastest goal of the tournament if I'm correct.

  The game continued with a lot of pressure from the poland team in charge of possession until the 33rd minute when "THE YOUNGEST PLAYER EVER TO SCORE IN  EURO KNOCKOUT GAME" Renato Sanches 18 years, 317 days lightened up the game for portugal with a marvelous strike from the edge of the 18. The game ended with  a 1-1 scoreline at 90 mins and extra time which led the game into a penalty shootout which ended in 5-3 after a fine save by the Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patricio from Jakub Blaszczykowski's Penalty which gave Ricardo Quaresma the decisive strike.


 Cristiano Ronaldo of course, had his chances and missed all of it, except for the penalty shootout. Ah! Less I forget, Pepe was also wonderful during the match.
