Portugal faced Slovenia, who were playing their first knockout match in a major tournament. In this round of 16, the men of Robert Martinez were the clear favourites and had to make up for their defeat once morest Georgia in their last group match (2-0).
After 90 minutes neither side has been able to separate themselves and the players go into extra time. In the 105th minute, Diogo Jota infiltrates the Slovenian rectangle. The Liverpool player is stopped foully by Vanja Drkusic and the referee awards a penalty to Portugal. Cristiano Ronaldo takes charge of shooting him but he is magnificently stopped by Jan Oblak.
A few seconds following his miss, the number seven cracks and bursts into tears, comforted by his teammates.
