Theo Hernandez scores winning penalty for France against Portugal

Theo Hernandez scored the winning spot kick as France beat Portugal 5-3 on penalties in the quarter final of Euro 2024.

In a tight game there was nothing to separate both teams, with the quarter final being decided by a penalty shoot-out.

Portugal required penalties to get through in the previous round against Slovenia with Diogo Costa the hero, but this time the goalkeeper was unable to keep a single penalty out.

There were some brilliant penalties, but Joao Felix ended up costing Portugal as his effort struck the post with Hernandez tasked with taking the winning penalty.
