Diogo Costa became the hero of the night, saving three penalties and securing Portugal’s victory. Cristiano, on the other hand, had a performance full of contrasts: eight shots, gestures of frustration and hunger for goal that collided with a giant Jan Oblak under the Slovenian posts.

Redemption came in the penalty shootout. Roberto Martinez, Portugal’s coach, did not hesitate to let Cristiano be the first taker, showing total confidence in his captain.

Roberto Martínez Defends Cristiano Ronaldo

“I have seen it with responsibility,” Martínez said. “I did not doubt that I had to be the first pitcher. Sometimes that happens, Oblak made a very good save. Cristiano is our captain and I was 1,000% confident he could show us the way. Today he has shown his human and emotional side; He never sank and marked the way to go through,” defended the Spanish coach.

Portugal is already in the quarterfinals, thanks to an excellent Diogo Costa and a Cristiano Ronaldo who fought until the end. Eight shots, 11.85 kilometres travelled, a top speed of almost 30 km/h and 20 shots in total at the European Championship show that the Portuguese icon is still alive.

The next challenge: France and Kylian Mbappé, whom Cristiano considers an idol. A new step in the search for the third continental title with the Seleção. Will Cristiano Ronaldo be able to win Euro 2024?

The Porto star came up clutch in the penalty shootout, saving all three penalties Slovenia took to help Portugal seal a place in this year’s European Championship quarterfinals.

The 24-year-old saved the first shot of the series by guessing Josip Ilicic’s intention, but he had more in store. Far from slowing down, Costa proved unbeatable for Slovenia as he also stopped Jure Balkovec and Benjamin Verbic’s efforts.

Costa had already come up with a big moment late in extra time, making a crucial save on a dangerous one-on-one situation against Benjamin Sesko. In the end, he took home the UEFA Player of the Match award as he proved the difference in a hard-fought clash between Portugal and Slovenia.

With an impressive three saves, Diogo Costa set a record in the UEFA Euro history: he became the first goalkeeper to deny so many shots in a European Championship penalty shootout.

Up next: Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal vs Kylian Mbappe’s France

Diogo Costa heroic performance in the round of 16 allowed Portugal to set up a mouth-watering clash against France in the UEFA Euro 2024 quarterfinals. That means we’ll get to see Cristiano Ronaldo against Kylian Mbappe.

The match will take place on Friday, July 5, at 3:00 PM (ET) in Hamburg. These teams find themselves in the toughest side of the bracket, as the winner will take on Spain or Germany in the semifinals.

Under the guidance of coach Roberto Martinez, Portugal kicked off their European Championship campaign in stellar fashion, securing early wins against the Czech Republic and Turkey to swiftly clinch their place in the knockout stages.

However, the team experienced a surprising setback in their final group match, falling 2-0 to tournament newcomers Georgia. As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates will need to stay vigilant and avoid underestimating Slovenia in their upcoming clash.

What happens if Portugal beat Slovenia?

If Portugal overcome Slovenia, they will qualify directly to the quarter-finals, where they will play the winner of the match between France and Belgium on Friday, July 5th at the Volksparkstadion.

What happens if Portugal and Slovenia draw?

If the match between Portugal and Slovenia ends in a draw at regulation time, they must play an extra time of 30 minutes (15 minutes each half). In case that the tie persists in this extra time, they will decide who qualifies for the quarter-finals from penalty shootout.

What happens if Portugal lose to Slovenia?

If Slovenia can pull off the big shock and beat CR7’s Portugal, Roberto Martinez’s team will be automatically eliminated from UEFA Euro 2024 and Slovenia will advance to the quarter-finals to play either France or Belgium.

Portugal had no major problems qualifying for the Round of 16 in Euro 2026. Cristiano Ronaldo‘s side dominated the group stage by securing victories in their first two games, amassing 6 points to top their group. However, a surprising defeat to Georgia on Matchday 3 has raised some concerns among fans and analysts alike.

Despite this stumble, Portugal remain the favorite in their upcoming clash against Slovenia, a team yet to taste victory in this tournament. Slovenia have managed three draws, enough to advance as one of the best third-placed teams. With Jan Oblak as their star player, Slovenia know they are the underdogs but are also aware of Portugal‘s vulnerabilities. They will be looking to capitalize on any opportunities to cause an upset.

Portugal come into this match as the clear favorite, having sealed qualification for the round of 16 in the first two matches.

On the other hand, Slovenia are participating in a UEFA Euro for the second time in their history, having previously participated in 2002 and failed to advance beyond the group stage. This year they managed to qualify as one of the third best placed teams and will seek to continue making history.

Roberto Martinez will use his best players to try to advance to the quarterfinals. This will be Portugal’s team:

Diogo Costa; João Cancelo, Ruben Dias, Pepe, Nuno Mendes; Vitor Ferreira, Palhinha, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, Rafael Leao; Cristiano Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, Denmark and Slovenia both drew all three of their matches, finishing level on goals scored and conceded. This left the decision for second place to be decided by fourth and fifth tiebreakers.

On Wednesday, UEFA announced the teams that have advanced and those still in contention as one of the best third-place teams, including Denmark and Slovenia.

Denmark Advances to Round of 16

UEFA declared Denmark the second-place finisher in Group C, with the decision hinging on a yellow card shown to Slovenia’s assistant coach, Milivoje Novaković.
