NewsEuro 2024: Jota and Portugal progress on penalties to meet Konate's France
Jota was a 65th-minute substitute for his nation in Frankfurt as the last-16 clash ended goalless after 90 minutes.
In the extra-time that followed, Liverpool’s No.20 played a crucial role in earning his side a penalty, producing a driving run into the area before being brought down.
Cristiano Ronaldo, however, saw his spot-kick saved by goalkeeper Jan Oblak, which meant the tie required a penalty shootout after finishing 0-0.
Portugal went on to secure a 3-0 win on penalties, with Diogo Costa saving all three of Slovenia’s efforts to earn his country progression.
Earlier in the day, Konate was an unused substitute for France as they booked their spot in the last eight with a 1-0 victory over Belgium.
A Jan Vertonghen own goal five minutes from time settled the tie in Dusseldorf.
Portugal and France are now set to meet on Friday evening (8pm BST kick-off) for a place in the semi-finals.
