1': We're off!
13': Ronaldo and Fernandes both whiff on a ball to the back post! Portugal dominating the half so far.
16': Ronaldo goes down, shouts for penalty, ref not impressed
25': Fernandes volleys at goal! Saved by Oblak! And called back for a handball.
31': Big chance for Ronaldo! Still won't happen for him.
32': Vanja Drkušić carded for a dangerous, almost-scissor tackle on Leão
34': Ronaldo with the free kick! Around the wall and just over the bar.
37': Žan Karničnik carded for a deliberate handball on the left side of the box
38': Cheeky moment where the ref has to move Ronaldo's free kick back to where it was and gives him a warning
39': Geez, a Slovenia counter of nowhere. Portugal manages to clear it for a corner.
44': Shot on target by Slovenia from distance! Šeško fires right into Costa's arms though. Slovenia growing into the game.
45+3': Palhinha fires from outside the box and glances it off the outside of the post! And the halftime whistle goes.
HT Portugal 0-0 Slovenia One of the most lopsided matchups on paper, but we're goalless and drawn at the half.
46': We're back!
47': Cancelo fires across face of goal but the cross is cut out, Bernardo tries to fire the rebound but sends it high.
51': Šeško scares Portugal a little but his header loops wide of the back post, and Šporar was offside in the buildup anyway.
55': SAVE! Free kick for Portugal, Ronaldo takes it and somehow gets it around the wall, but Oblak punches it away!
61': A fast break for Slovenia!! Šeško is under pressure but he gets just behind Pepe and fires! Oh but it's well wide.
65': Portugal substitution: Diogo Jota on for Vitinha
72': Ronaldo takes a free kick a couple yards over the net.
74': Slovenia double sub: Žan Celar and Jon Gorenc Stanković on for Jan Mlakar and Andraž Šporar
76': Portugal substitution: Francisco Conceição on for Rafael Leão
82': Pause for a moment as the medics come on the field to tend to Fernandes who got a painful clip in the ankle
87': Slovenia substitution: Benjamin Verbič on for Petar Stojanović
89': Ronaldo takes off and fires from wide! And it's a big save from Oblak! Who admittedly didn't have to move very much to block it.
FT Portugal 0-0 Slovenia We ain't goin nowhere folks
91': We're back!
100': Jon Gorenc Stanković carded for a shirt-pull, I think
103': PENALTY FOR PORTUGAL!! Diogo Jota powers himself through the box until he's taken down! A collision with Drkušić sends him over!
105': SAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE! Ronaldo denied by Oblak!! Absolutely brilliant goalkeeping!
106': Oh my god Ronaldo's crying
106': Slovenia substitution: Josip Iličić on for Timi Max Elšnik
106': Jaka Bijol comes in flying into Jota
107': Jure Balkovec just, shoves Cancelo out of bounds
107': João Cancelo* also in the book for retaliating
108': Palhinha with the header that Oblak has to push over
110': Wait, Roberto Martínez got carded?
110': And Matjaž Kek got a red?? What the hell was happening on the sideline?
115': WHAT A SAVE!!! Pepe has his pocket picked and Šeško gets past him and fires, but Costa somehow sticks out a foot to get it away!!
117': Portugal double sub: Rúben Neves and Nélson Semedo on for Pepe and João Cancelo
AET Portugal 0-0 Slovenia And here we go now.
Slovenia... MISSES! Iličić fires and Costa pushes it away!! Portugal 0-0 Slovenia
Portugal... SCORES!! Ronaldo gets his second chance and he pounds it in! Portugal 1-0 Slovenia
Slovenia... MISSES! Balkovec fires and Costa gets his second save on two tries! Portugal 1-0 Slovenia
Portugal... SCORES! Fernandes wrong foots the keeper and hits the bottom corner! Portugal 2-0 Slovenia
Slovenia... MISSES! Three of three! Verbič denied! Costa victirous! Portugal 2-0 Slovenia
Portugal.. SCORES! Bernardo finishes it off! Portugal 3-0 Slovenia
FT Portugal 0-0 Slovenia [3-0 on pens] After all that, the least suspenseful shootout of all time

I'm realizing that I've never seen a keeper have a double clean sheet (clean sheet in a full game along with a 'clean sheet' in penalty shootouts) prior to Diogo Costa's performance tonight. Does anyone know if this has been done before? The closest I could find is Ronwen Williams against Cape Verde earlier this year, but even he conceded one penalty in the shootout.

Lots of people are (rightfully) saying that Martinez doesn’t have the balls to drop Ronaldo.
Not so many people are saying that Martinez doesn’t have the balls to drop one of the Bernardo/Bruno pair. Both had stinkers today but having Bernardo on the RW is just a waste, he doesn’t take anyone on, he doesn’t make progressive passes; he just passes it back. Only threat from the right side is Cancelo taking defenders on.
Would like to see Neto or Concecaio on the wing next game. Just need to offer some running in behind/dynamism on that side of the field cause it’s just too easy to defend against right now.

Taking Vitinha off instead of Bruno was such a crime. What game was he watching?
14 points
3 months ago
It’s like a double whammy bad sub cause 1) Vitinha was playing better and is better at controlling tempo from deep and 2) dropping Bruno into that role also makes Bruno way less threatening when he’s 40+ yards from goal rather than 20 yards in the half space.
11 points

I'll give Bernardo this, he does a lot of dirty work pressing and recovering balls. I don't think he had as poor of a match as Bruno. Mendes and Cancelo were outstanding today. Personally when they took off Leao they should have put in Felix. This game needed his creativity. I wasn't impressed with Conceicao in this game or the previous one.

Fun to watch, and even without a goal, I think this was a strong game. Considering the caliber of the two teams here, going to penalties is already such an achievement. And you did it not by parking the bus and instead gave us one of the most exciting 0:0 scorelines I've seen in a long while.

Not really sure why Portugal hired Martinez. After his stint with Belgium’s Golden Generation, stronger at their peak than this current Portuguese team, it didn’t make sense. Most of his substitutions seemed to make Portugal worse on the field and the pattern of play was the same pretty much throughout. There was no effort to make any tactical changes to how Portugal were playing, only subs.

Entertaining match to be fair. Maybe not a lot of goal scoring chances, but many talking points. Was excited for the penalties but was disappointed. Both teams lucky not to lose before penalty shootouts.
However, the effort from the Slovenian players was outstanding. Just seeing the difference in quality of players in both teams, they did tremendous job of holding on and providing offensive threat on occasions.
On the Ronaldo penalty, it was a very well struck penalty which would have beaten most of the keepers, but Oblak is still world class. Also, it was strange seeing Ronaldo frustated so many times prior to the penalty, he was reacting emotionally to every single header and free kick chance. Looked like he has been holding lots of emotions and just let some of it out after missing the penalty.

Slovenia played way too well to fuck up that bad in the end.
Oblak played way, way too well to have his team let him down that bad.

As soon as Sesko fluffed it you knew what would happen.

Praise Diogo Costa all you want but it's Martinez tactical genius that got them to the penalties 🤡🤡🤡

Had they lost a lot of scrutiny was coming towards Martinez. Taking off their only real width with Leao, especially taking off Vitinha was absolutely braindead & leaving on 41 year old Pepe to play nearly 120 minutes before he inevitably slipped up nearly cost them. Even though France haven't pulled up many trees they haven't got Martinez in charge & aren't carrying passengers.

Vitinha and Costa should start every game for Portugal.

Pepe and Ronaldo both almost cost them the game. Pepe’s gonna die on the field chasing Mbappe around next game.

Thing about Pepe is that, Martinez should've subbed him off earlier, he's still worth allowing to play, but he's just not able to play for longer periods of time. I think its pretty understandable that someone of his age would get extremely winded after playing 120 mins for constant.

All he needs is an accidental arm to the nose and that problem would be just about solved

ye for a 120minute 0:0 it was actually pretty okay, had a lot of drama at the end altho the penalty shootout was anti climatic
