Goodbye for now
That’s it for our live coverage of Portugal vs Slovenia at Euro 2024.
Roberto Martinez’s men made hard work of booking a spot in the last Eight, but they join France, Germany, Spain, England and Switzerland in the quarters.
Just two spots remain and we’ll find out who fills them tomorrow, as Romania take on the Netherlands and Austria face Turkey.
For now, from me Adam Hancock, it’s goodbye.

A return to the quarterfinals
Friday’s last Eight match will be Portugal’s first appearance in the quarterfinals of the Euros since 2016.
They beat France in the final that year and will now be looking to inflict more misery on Les Bleus.

France next up for Portugal
After a dramatic evening in Frankfurt, Portugal will need to gather their thoughts and refocus on a huge quarterfinal tie in Hamburg.
World Cup runners-up France await them in the last Eight, after they secured a 1-0 win over Belgium earlier today.
The pair last met in Euro 2020 drawing 2-2 in a group game in Hungary.
The quarterfinal will kick off at 9pm local time on Friday – that’s 19:00 GMT.

Redemption for Ronaldo
It’s hard to look past the story of Cristiano Ronaldo this evening.
His search for a goal continues but he was the centre of attention for most of the night.
The Portugal captain attempted numerous free kicks throughout the game, but the big talking point came late on.
Firstly, he stepped up to take a penalty in extra time. It seemed that the fairytale was written but Jan Oblak had other ideas, with the Slovenia captain saving the spot kick.
It left Ronaldo in tears at the change of ends. But he composed himself and returned in the shootout, stepping up to take the first penalty.
This time he made no mistake. What a night!

Slovenia bow out
Plenty of focus will be on Ronaldo and Diego Costa after this match but there needs to be a lot of credit for Slovenia.
This was unchartered territory for them and they more than held their own.
They didn’t just sit back and frustrate Portugal, they created a number of opportunities, including that huge chance for Sesko towards the end of extra time.
Their performance in the shootout perhaps points to a lack of knockout stage experience, but it shouldn’t deflect from a terrific tournament for them.

Penalty perfection for Portugal
Three successful spot kicks for Ronaldo, Fernandes and Bernardo Silva.
But more incredibly, a hat-trick of saves from Diego Costa.
Slovenia fluffed their lines with some terrible penalties but full credit to the Portugal keeper.
There’s plenty of emotion from the Portugal players including Pepe and Ronaldo. What a dramatic evening in Frankfurt.

Huge chance for Slovenia
That was the moment for Slovenia!
Pepe makes a howler, losing the ball in his own half.
It leaves Sesko in, one-on-one with the keeper. He tries to curl the ball into the bottom left corner but Diego Costa pulls off a superb save to keep his country in the game.

Just over five minutes to go
Slovenia look increasingly dangerous as this game goes deeper into extra time.
They just can’t quite find the killer final ball.
In the last few minutes, they have seen a lot more of the ball than Portugal.
