Similar Stories to Ronaldo, Portugal Into Euro 2016 Quarterfinals on Bing News

Ronaldo’s only shot created a rare scoring opportunity and substitute Ricardo Quaresma finished it off, helping Portugal to beat Croatia 1-0 in Lens, France, to advance to the European Championship quarterfinals. Portugal settled a poor game in the 117th minute with its only serious attack, when Ronaldo’s one shot all match was parried by goalkeeper Danijel Subasic across the goalmouth in the second half of extra time. “Croatia is the team that played the best football in the group stages,” Portugal coach Fernando Santos said through a translator. In Paris, Gareth Bale’s dangerous cross in the 75th minute that was aimed at teammate Hal Robson-Kanu was inadvertently turned into the net by Northern Ireland defender Gareth McAuley, sending the Welsh into the quarterfinals. [...] the team as a whole worked incredibly well, and we spoke before the game about moving the ball, making them tired and ultimately they would make mistakes. At Saint-Etienne, France, Poland reached the quarterfinals of a Euro for the first time after it converted all its kicks from the penalty spot to beat Switzerland 5-4 in a shootout following a 1-1 draw. Grzegorz Krychowiak stepped up to slot home the winning penalty into the top left corner of the Swiss net. The only player to miss was Switzerland midfielder Granit Xhaka — Arsenal’s new signee — who misfired his shot past the left post.
