Diogo Costa's heroics propel Portugal to QFs in Euro 2024

Berlin, July 2 (UNI) Portugal's journey in Euro 2024 took a dramatic turn as goalkeeper Diogo Costa emerged as the unyielding hero in a tense encounter against Slovenia. In a match defined by resilience and high stakes, Costa's excepional performance in the penalty shootout secured Portugal's advancement to the quarterfinals.
From the outset at Frankfurt's Deutsche-Bank-Park, Portugal dominated possession and created numerous scoring opportunities, but the breakthrough remained elusive against Slovenia's steadfast defense. Despite the efforts of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes, who came close on multiple occasions, the match remained deadlocked after extra time.
