Posted July 2, 20242 yr The second quarter-final sees a repeat of the Euro 2016 final between Portugal and France at the Volksparkstadion, Hamburg. For Portugal they needed a penalty shootout to beat Slovenia which was notable for a Ronaldo penalty miss and some tears from him, in the end it was their goalkeeper Diogo Costa who become the first goalie to make three saves in a penalty shootout at the Euros. For France they got through thanks to a Jan Vertonghen own goal in their match against Belgium which wasn't the most exciting game of the Euros. How do we see this one going?
