QF 1 Poland Vs Portugal Thursday June 30,2016


Two of Europe's most prolific marksmen go head-to-head as Robert Lewandowski aims to end Cristiano Ronaldo's dreams of landing an international trophy when Poland meet Portugal in a Euro 2016 quarter-final clash on Thursday June 30,2016

Cristiano Ronaldo is just one goal away from even more European championship history by matching French legend Michel Platini's record mark of nine goals in the finals.

The Real Madrid star has already become the first player to score in four Euros and broken the competition record for appearances.

Despite a double against Hungary to save Portugal's blushes to sneak through the group stage in third place, Cristiano Ronaldo has yet to catch fire in France

Robert Lewandowski is yet to find the net in four games in France, but kept his cool to convert from the spot as Poland progressed to their first major QF for 34 years with a 5-4 penalty shootout win over Switzerland in the Round of 16

QF 1 Poland Vs Portugal - Match Facts 

Head-to-head

  • This will be Poland and Portugal's third encounter at a major tournament. Poland won 1-0 at the 1986 World Cup and then Portugal enjoyed a 4-0 victory at the 2002 World Cup.
  • Poland are unbeaten in their past three matches with Portugal (W1, D2).
  • Their last meeting was a 0-0 draw in Warsaw in February 2012.

Poland

  • The only previous time they reached the semi-finals of a major tournament was at the 1982 World Cup.
  • Poland's last win in the knockout stages of a major tournament (excluding the penalty shoot-out victory against Switzerland) was in 1982 against France (a 3-2 win in the third-place play-off).

  • Jakub Blaszczykowski has been directly involved in all five of Poland's goals in the past two Euro tournaments (three goals, two assists).

Portugal Beat Poland 5-3 on Penalties to Enter SF's


Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal battled their way to a place in the European Championship last four on Thursday winning a penalty shootout 5-3 against Poland in a tense QF

Robert Lewandowski scored his first goal of Euro 2016 inside two minutes in the Marseille clash before his new Bayern Munich teammate, teenager Renato Sanches, equalised with a powerfully driven shotin the 33rd minute.



The game then went through extra-time deadlocked at 1-1.

Goalkeeper Rui Patricio and Ricardo Quaresma were Portugal's heroes in the shootout.

Ronaldo was among the players fist-pumping when Patricio dived to his left to save Jakub Blaszczykowski's tame fourth shot for the Poles, who had reached the quarter-finals for the first time.

Quaresma was next up for Portugal and made no mistake firing high into the net to beat Poland goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.

"It hurts and it will hurt for a long time," Lewandowski said as Ronaldo celebrated his new step toward winning a first major international trophy with Portugal.

Poland made a blistering start to the game. After barely 100 seconds, Kamil Grosicki hurried past Southampton right back Cedric Soares to deliver a great cross that Lewandowski drove past a flailing Rui Patricio at his near post.

The Polish striker's first goal of the competition, after hitting a record 13 in qualifying, stunned Portugal.

The early goal gave Poland momentum, and a defiant but borderline interception by Grzegorz Krychowiak on Sanches set Arkadiusz Milik up for a 25-yard drive that sailed wide on the quarter hour.

Extra time was notable more for the pitch invader who tried to reach Ronaldo than for real scoring chances. Fourteen security personnel carried the Ronaldo fans off after he was caught.

  • This is the fifth time Portugal have reached a Euro semi-final (1984, 2000, 2004, 2012, 2016).
  • Portugal have won three of their four shootouts at major tournaments.
  • Renato Sanches became the youngest player to score in a knockout game at the Euros ever (18y 316d), and the third youngest overall to score in Euros history (behind Volanthen and Rooney).
  • Only Luis Figo (5) has more assists at the Euros for Portugal than Nani (4).
  • Nani has been involved in 50% of Portugal's goals at this tournament (3/6, two goals and one assist).
  • Poland and Portugal entered extra time for the second time at Euro 2016 - the last teams to do be in extra time twice at same Euros were France and Italy in 2000.
  • Only the Netherlands (7) have played more extra time game at the Euros than Portugal (6).
