In the biggest shock (by the FIFA world rankings) of Euro 2024 so far, Georgia defeated Portugal 2-0 to secure a place in the knockout stages in what is their major tournament debut. Georgia reached Euro 2024 — their first-ever appearance at a major tournament — after beating Greece in a playoff penalty shootout at the end of March. They had actually finished fourth in their Euro qualifying group, ahead of only Cyprus, but reached the playoffs via the Nations League route topping Group C4. Frustration was understandable, but it consumed him for the rest of the game — right until he was substituted midway through the second half, still without a goal in three appearances at Euro 2024. Going into tonight’s game, he had conceded four goals at Euro 2024 — but that was from 20 shots on target.

Both lay entangled in the Turkish net, sandwiched between a view of reality in front of them and the sound of insanity from Portugal’s fans behind them. So keen must Ronaldo have been to actually watch a Portugal goal being scored, he squared to Fernandes when in on goal for the third. Another, a fully-grown man, almost grappled the Portugal striker with his arm tightly around his neck, which Ronaldo then removed. Tim SpiersTurkey bring the noise, Ronaldo feels its forceWith 25,000 Turkey fans in Signal Iduna Park’s south stand — usually Borussia Dortmund’s Yellow Wall, today deep red — decibels became a construct. But here, in the shape of Portugal’s Ronaldo, there was a focal point to their anger, as well as their support.

LONDON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Arsenal were held to a 2-2 home draw by 10-man Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday, denying Mikel Arteta's side provisional top spot in the table. But Arsenal won a penalty for a foul on Fabio Vieira after the hour-mark and Saka redeemed himself with a confident spot kick in the pouring rain. Arsenal made it 2-1 two minutes later when Vieira whipped in a cross for Eddie Nketiah to score. Fulham were reduced to 10 men when Calvin Bassey received a second booking for a cynical foul on Nketiah to prevent a counter-attack, but they equalised in the 87th minute when Joao Palhinha swept home from a corner to rescue a point.

Partida dintre Belgia și Italia, din sferturile de finală de la EURO 2020, va avea loc la Munchen, vineri, de la 22:00. Eden Hazard a suferit o accidentare la coapsă, iar selecționerul Roberto Martinez l-a înlocuit în minutul 87 cu Yannick Carrasco. Hazard a simțit dureri la bicepsul femural, după un impact dur, dar nu este nimic serios. I-am bătut pe campionii en-titre în Portugalia, așa că suntem gata să învingem și Italia”, a mai spus Roberto Martinez.

A fost al 107-lea său gol la naţională, al 12-lea la EURO şi al treilea la EURO 2020. Jucătorul echipei Atalanta Bergamo a centrat perfect în faţa porţii (51), iar Havertz a reluat simplu din 3 metri. Cristiano Ronaldo a şutat violent din lovitură liberă (54), de la 25 de metri, dar mingea a trecut peste poartă. A fost pentru prima oară când Portugalia a încasat patru goluri într-un meci, de la eşecul suferit în 2014, la Cupa Mondială, 0-4 cu Germania. Ronaldo a marcat în premieră împotriva Germaniei, deşi are nouă goluri înscrise lui Neuer în opt partide la nivel de club.
