In the last minute of the first extra time, Diogo Jota won a penalty for Portugal. Ronaldo has a great opportunity to help his home team win a ticket to the quarterfinals.
However, CR7’s kιck could not beаt goalkeeper Jan Oblak’s precise dive.
Unable to hide his disappointment, Ronaldo burst into tears immediately afterwards.
During the 90 minutes of official play, the star player of Al Nassr Club also showed his powerlessness against the excellent performance of the Slovenian goalkeeper.
Therefore, even more pressure was placed on Ronaldo’s shoulders when he took on the responsibility of taking the first penalty kιck for Portugal in the nerve-wracking penalty shootout.
If he continues to fail, it will certainly become one of the “black spots” in CR7’s international career. But he still bravely accepts it.
This time, the former MU striker’s kιck was also guessed correctly by goalkeeper Oblak, but because it went too dangerously, close to the inside of the post, the penalty score was still open for Portugal.
The moment Ronaldo celebrated his victory after both Bruno Fernandes and Bernardo Silva successfully converted their kιcks, while all three of Slovenia’s shots were missed. Thanks to CR7’s bravery with the first successful penalty kιck, it helped his teammates gain more confidence.
Ronaldo finally got to smile in victory. In the quarter-finals, Portugal’s opponent will be Kylian Mbappe’s France team.
