Goalkeeper Jan Oblak made an excellent save from Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty kιck in the last minute of the first extra time.
Diogo Jota was the one who won the penalty when he tried to dribble through a dense circle of Slovenian players, forcing centre-back Vanja Drkusic to make an illegаl impact in the penalty area.
Oblak blocked Ronaldo’s penalty.
Unfortunately, at the penalty spot, Ronaldo could not beаt goalkeeper Jan Oblak’s excellent diving shot, even though CR7’s shot was quite dangerous.
After missing the shot, the television camera captured Ronaldo tearfully crying from the field until he entered the tactical meeting with the whole team in the Portugal cabin.
Ronaldo was in tears from the field.
Carrying on his shoulders the responsibility of leading the team and possibly the last major tournament CR7 will participate in, it can be understood how heavy the pressure is on him.
And burst into tears during a technical meeting with the whole team.
Teammates including Jota continuously comforted Ronaldo and encouraged him to ignore the situation but tears continued to fall until the second extra time started.
“It was an unbelievable scene. Ronaldo was in tears. Can he pull himself together for the final 15 minutes – and a potential penalty shootout?,” said Sky Sports journalist Nick Wright.
