THE BALL – Portugal falls on penalties and is out of the European Championship (U-17)
Preliminary point: great first half between France and Portugal, two teams with a lot of talent and quality. Started with his 4x2x3x1 with his best problems from the first few minutes. Portugal, in turn, in a system that unfolded from a 4x3x3 in maneuvers to 4 maneuvers, had Ivan Lima and Afonso Moreira in their wings as the main arrows on target.
In this vest, France started better, with Emery’s goal, a shot from the area, low and well placed, a surprising Diogo Fernandes. Ivan Lima is linked to the bid after losing the ball in a prohibited place. Portugal reacted immediately. with mastery. Afonso excellent later, four minutes later, More or goal of the tie high recovery of Djaló. The Sporting winger, in a shot placed in the right aisle, ends up being happy and evens the score.
There followed minutes of enormous pressure for Portugal. Your strongest period. With dissemination, criteria in the possibilities of innovation and inspiration from… Essugo. The midfielder starred in one of the moments not only of the game but also of the tournament. A goal a good 30 meters. A right-foot shot with a ball enters the top right corner of Olmeta’s goal! Moment of inspiration that ended up surprising everyone and everything.
Portugal felt comfortable with the advantage and a recovery in a few minutes. The Gaulish team closed the gaps, which felt enormous difficulties. And it seemed that when the interval between the Portuguese team rested and the ideas in advantage is that a spear of unhappiness by João Muniz, by putting a ball in his own goal after a cross by Atangana, left everything the same. the second second for the break.
The second part brought new moments of good football. Who not even the annoyance of Afonso Moreira’s injury (for the entry of Vivaldo Semedo) managed to avoid. A lot of balance, shots in which Diogo Fernandes’ keeper was in the spotlight, but many problems for coach José Lima who also saw Ivan Lima injured after a spectacular header.
Even so, despite the French territorial dominance, it was Vivaldo Semedo, with a header, after a corner on the left, able to sentence or result just over ten minutes from the 90′. France risked it all, knowing a draw would be ready for penalties, and a continual threat. But without success. The game would eventually be played on penalties.
And here was the most competent France. The teams didn’t miss the first five, but Manuel Mendonça didn’t miss the sixth and Bitshiabu didn’t miss it. Portugal landed on its feet after a match filled with strong emotions.
