The Real Madrid forward had been forced out of the game with a knee injury in the first half, but Portugal regrouped and, thanks to some heroic goalkeeping from Rui Patricio, took the game into extra timebefore forward Eder struck with 11 minutes to go.
Portugal’s win was all the more remarkable given in their previous 10 meetings, France had won all of them.
It would be recalled that the Portuguese qualified from the group stage as one of the best loosers after drawing all their three group matches.
Congratulations to Portugal!
