2012 Euro Cup Quarterfinal: Portugal 1-0 Czech Republic
Friday, June 22, 2012 Report by Rajarshi Ghosh
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal saw Portugal defeat the Czech Republic 1-0 on Thursday and book their place in the semi-finals of Euro 2012.
A cagey contest at the National Stadium, Warsaw, produced few real chances, with Portugal dominating possession but struggling to break down a stubborn Czech side.
Ronaldo was the chief threat throughout, sending an early bicycle kick wide of goal, before striking the post in each half.
It was the Real Madrid star who eventually broke the deadlock, stooping to meet Joao Moutinho's cross and heading beyond PetrCech to register the winning goal with 11 minutes remaining.
Portugal will face either France or arch-rivals Spain in the semi-finals.
