Belgium Nocks Portugal Out Of Euro 2020
Belgium have knocked the defending champions Portugal out of Euro 2020, with the Red Devils earning a 1-0 victory in Seville.
Thorgan Hazard produced a memorable shot from distance that flew past Rui Patricio into the corner of the net in the 42nd minute.
Despite having several chances in the second half, including a point-blank header from Rúben Dias saved by Thibaut Courtois, Portugal could not get the equaliser.
Cristiano Ronaldo cast a forlorn figure as he struggles to make an impact, and wasted a couple of free kick opportunities. He does leave the tournament as the current top scorer, though, with five goals.
A major dampener on a famous victory for Belgium was an ankle injury to key playmaker Kevin De Bruyne after a rough Joao Palhinha challenge, and a similar injury to Eden Hazard, who was also replaced.
Belgium will now face Italy in the quarter-finals on Saturday.
