Portugal defeated Slovenia 3-0 on penalties in the early hours of July 2nd to secure a place in the European Championship quarter-finals. After the game, Bruno Fernandes said in an interview, “Slovenia played very organized, but their lack of goals made it harder for us to get space. However, the most important thing is that we have progressed.”
Speaking about Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty miss in extra time and his successful spot-kick in the shootout, Fernandes said, “It’s all part of football, sometimes bad things happen in a game, but we have to stay calm.”
Talking about Costa, the goalkeeper who saved three consecutive penalties in the shootout, Fernandes said, “Costa was outstanding. He made a fantastic save before the end of the game. In yesterday’s training, we struggled to score past him.”
