Yesterday was the finale of the European Championships of 2016. Hosts France took on underdogs Portugal, who had lost in this final 12 years ago when they were hosts against Greece.
Many people labeled France as the favorites to win; with their strong squad and the home advantage, it seemed really possible that France would lift the trophy once again. Like many of Portugal's games after the group stage, the final went to extra time after no one had scoed. Portugal was put into a difficult situation when their best player, Cristiano Ronaldo, came off after 25 minutes with a knee injury. Despite Ronaldo's injury, Eder scored the game winning goal in the 109th minute. Hosts France were left shocked as Eder lead Portugal to their first major trophy.
Congrats to Portugal!
