#2 Eder scores the Euro winning goal
Trending
No one quite knew what to expect when Portugal faced hosts France in the finals of the Euro 2016 competition on the 28th of July. France were the clear favourites, but Portugal had had a good run of form to reach a place where no one expected them to and their captain Ronaldo had just found his form.
In what was one of the most emotional moments of the year, Ronaldo got injured from a Dmitri Payet tackle and despite his best attempts to play, had to be subbed off in the 25th minute. He exited the pitch crying, as his best chance to win something with his country was now not in his own hands.
France were slightly more dominant in possession but none of their players really threatened to score despite the team taking 18 shots in 120 minutes.
As the 2nd half of extra time started, substitute Eder took a shot from 25 yards out and beat France captain Hugo Lloris as the stadium went into shock. Portuguese coach Fernando Santos could barely control himself and Ronaldo could be seen jumping up and down the touchline in delight.
The game ended 0-1 and the hosts were left broken and shocked as the biggest international upset since 2004 when Greece won the Euros had taken place. Truly a moment for the ages to come.
