Barcelona loanees João Cancelo and João Félix will play for Portugal in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals thanks to a dramatic 3-0 win on penalties following a 0-0 draw after extra time on Monday’s Round of 16 tie in Frankfurt. Portugal struggled all night against Slovenia’s well-organized defense, and after a dramatic extra period and a heroic turn by goalkeeper Diogo Costa in the shootout, the Seleção Portuguesa found a way to win and will face France in the Last Eight.
