Portugal – Slovenia (end of extra time 2) 0-0: Both teams take penalties

Ronaldo’s penalty kick was saved by goalkeeper Jan Oblak. After missing the chance, the Portuguese striker could not hold back his tears.

At Euro 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo set many records such as: the first player to play in 6 Euro tournaments, the player with the most assists in Euro tournaments. However, he has not yet conquered the record of being the oldest player to score in Euro.

At the end of the match, Portugal defeated Slovenia 3-0 on penalties to win a ticket to the quarter-finals of Euro 2024.
