Portugal beat Slovenia live updates

Today’s events will have the name of Diogo Costa written through them for a long time to come — and maybe into legend if Portugal go on to win the tournament in a fortnight’s time.

Here is UEFA’s official player of the match, reacting to that shootout win:

💬 “This is probably the best game of my life. I focused on doing what I had to do. I went with my gut feeling. Of course we had analysed the penalty takers, but players change and they change how they shoot.

“When I made the save from Sesko in extra-time, I felt I had to do it. I read his body language, and was able to help the team.

“We all felt we needed to keep believing (after Ronaldo’s first penalty was saved). We believed until the very end.

“I am very happy and very excited to have helped the team.”
