With everything against from the first chamber of hour after the injury of Cristiano, Portugal achieved to do with the first Eurocopa of his history having won only a party of the seven that contested in the tournament. And they did it in front of the big favourite, a France that went infinitely upper to his rival but that failed a lot of occasions.
The first time (and almost all the party) remained marked by the action that took place in the minute nine. The star of Portugal Cristiano Ronaldo suffered a haphazard hit with Payet in the centre of the fieldthat, after two attempts and to test , finish leaving to the madridista with tears in the eyes and abandoning the terrain of game in stretcher. Before the incident France had imposed a very high rhythm, to the equal that in front of Germany.
All this first time the party was of the Frenchmen, that had in the boots of Antoine Griezmann and of Paul Pogba the goal that did not arrive. In the second time the venues followed the same, marking the guideline and especially showing a physical power in the half of the field in front of which at all could do the uses. Therefore Saint gave gone in to Joao Moutinho to bet for playing to football, something that had not done in the six previous meetings.
Something to appreciate as thanks to this saw the best occasions by both edicts, although Portugal did not finish to put in aprietos to Hugo Lloris. Paul Pogba undid with two quiebros of his pair and put a precise centre for the head of Griezmann that finished only but the spherical went brushing the square. In the 79 appeared in the another area Nani for with a centre-kick put in difficulties to the guardameta Frenchman and have the best occasion of all the meeting for his team.
In the extention Portugal grew and France desinfló
The central of the FC Barcelona Samuel Umtiti, that there was cuajado a partidazo until the moment, colaba in attack. Without that anybody went out him to his step, the defender arrived until the medullary of the rival area controlling the spherical to finish yielding it to his mate Sissoko whose powerful kick went back to save a spectacular Rui Patricio. With already the monopoly of the balloon for France, the last ten minutes were a siege that ready was to achieve his fruits after a played magic of Oliver Gignac, that did him a suit to Pepe and his shot went to the stick to fault of a minute.
The first time of the extention was almost an armistice between both teams that happened the first ten minutes without wanting to hurt. And the second, except a remate to the crossbar of Guerreiro that almost breaks the heart of the fans "blues", did not offer at all new until Éder broke the tables with a soberbio goal from out of the area. Incredible golazo of the forward luso that exemplified better that anybody the epic of his.
The God of the fortune this time did not throw the dice of a France that although it won his last Eurocopa in the year 2000 with a goal of gold, in this occasion the things were totally different.
