In the first period of extra time, there was a penalty in favour of Portugal. Ronaldo took the ball to do what he has done so many times, score from the penalty spot.
However, the star was unable to do so. His shot hit the goalkeeper’s left post and was saved by Oblak, who flew in and prevented the goal.
Ronaldo was totally devastated. He couldn’t believe it, and his only relief was to start crying while his teammates tried to cheer him up.
