Defeating France, Portugal won Euro 2016

(Baonghean.vn)- The Euro 2016 final between France and Portugal took place in an unexpected scenario, the weaker team decided in the 110th minute.

At that moment, receiving the ball from Moutinho in a position slightly to the left, Eder made a few more steps into the center and suddenly fired a long shot from about 25 meters away. The ball went deep and stuck into the bottom right corner, making Lloris unable to reach it even though he dove and stretched as far as he could.

Lloris dove as far as he could but still couldn't reach the ball, helplessly watching Eder's shot score for Portugal.
