Portugal was dominant over the course of the game, despite Slovenia’s dogged display – which brought the game to extra-time and eventually a penalty shootout. Cristiano Ronaldo was everywhere for Portugal – however, it wouldn’t be his night in Frankfurt as his penalty in extra-time was saved by Jan Oblak.

Slovenia's courageous performance would end in an upset as Diogo Costa saved three penalties from Josip Ilicic, Jure Balkovec, and Benjamin Verbic.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Bernardo Silva converted from the spot for Roberto Martinez’s side to confirm their quarter-final clash with France on Friday.
