Euro 2016: Croatia 0-1 Portugal

The third knockout game of Euro 2016 saw Croatia taking on Portugal. While the Croatians had pulled off a surprise result by beating Spain and topping their group in the last match,

Portugal needed heroics from Cristiano Ronaldo to draw 3-3 with Hungary and finished third in their group.Both sides knew that they would face Poland in the quarter-final stage should they have progressed but neither side had any real attacking quality in the game with the match ending 0-0 after full-time

The game only came alive late in the second half of extra-time as Portugal hit Croatia on a counter and Ricardo Quaresma scored off a saved shot from Croatian goalkeeper Danijel Subasic.

Portugal might not have played great football but they had that one moment of quality that counted.
