One Goal to The Title

That’s it. The Cristiano Ronaldo-less Portugal manage to beat hosts France by one loan goal to be crowned the 2016 European Champions.

It was Eder’s long-range shot that beat the dive of France captain Hugo Lloris and bagged Portugal’s first-ever major tournament.

Eder shook off Laurent Koscielny and fired a low, right-foot shot to break French hearts in the 109th minute after the match at the Stade de France had ended level at 0-0 after 90 minutes.

15 Mins Up Of Extra Time

The first period of extra time has seen no celebrations. William Carvalho snuffed out a promising French attack in the 97th minute by bringing down Kingsley Coman, earning a yellow card from referee Mark Clattenburg.

The best chance of the half though fell to Portugal’s Eder, with his close-range effort being saved by Hugo Lloris following a corner.

90-Plus Action!

France and Portugal will play extra time after their European Championship final ended 0-0 after 90 minutes.

While Griezmann has missed a handful, Portugal rarely threatened. The home keeper Hugo Lloris was brought into play only as late as the 80th minute when he had to block a Nani cross. Soon after though the skipper’s class was on show - a spectacular effort on the rebound by Ronaldo’s replacement, Ricardo Quaresma was also denied.

France’s best player, Moussa Sissoko unleashed a powerful long-range drive in the 84th minute, but Rui Patricio again got down well to block the shot. Their best chance came in stoppage time when substitute Andre-Pierre Gignac hit the post.
