Cristiano Ronaldo was
the hero as his late header gave Portugal a deserved 1-0 win over the
Czech Republic and sent his side into the semi-finals of Euro 2012.
Portugal were the better side throughout but were made to work for
the win by a stubborn Czech side content to play on the counter-attack.
After countless squandered opportunities, good work from Joao Moutinho eventually led to the breakthrough.
His
curling cross in the 79th minute found the head of Ronaldo, whose run
had eluded Theodor Gebre Selassie in the box, and the ball flew past
Petr Cech.
