Portugal are through to the semi-finals of Euro
2016 despite failing to win a game in normal time in the tournament so far.
Portugal defeated Poland 5-3 on penalties to make their way to the semi finals where they will face anyone who wins between Belgium and Wales.

The night started badly for Portugal as Robert Lewandowski found the net for Poland in only the second minute
of the game.
Thereafter, Renato Sanches equalized on his first international start after half
an hour and after that the game fell in to a drab and predictable pattern.
Ronaldo could have won
it three times for his country only to swing at fresh air when presented with
chances, twice in the second half and once in the second minute of extra time.
But he stepped up to convert his team's first penalty and Portugal eventually triumphed when Jakub Blaszcykowksi saw Poland's fourth penalty saved and Ricardo Quaresma stepped up to seal his country's progress.
