Euro 2016: Real Madrid star scores from the spot, Portugal through to the semifinals

Portugal have not a won a single game in 90 minutes so far and yet they are in the semifinals of Euro 2016. Ricardo Quaresma is the hero again as he keeps his cool from the spot to send Portugal through to the last four against Poland on Thursday night in Marseille.

On performance alone, Poland and not Portugal should have been in the last four. They have created better chances and more clear cut goal scoring opportunities. It has been an end to end an open game and it’s shocking to believe the game went to penalties after ending 1-1 after 120 minutes.
