Thrilling finale: the 3️⃣ key players in the Italy v Portugal draw | OneFootball

Italy defeated Portugal and advanced to the quarterfinals of EURO 2025 and we bring you the three protagonists of the match.

Cristiana Girelli and a historic goal

Without a doubt, the soul of the Italian team depends on what Cristiana Girelli does and that decision today proved them right.

The forward received it at the edge of the box, scored, possibly, the goal of the tournament and celebrated it with tears in her eyes.

Patricia Morais gave life to Portugal

The Italians were superior in the balance of the development of the match, but they encountered a real wall under the posts.

Patricia Morais was key for the Portuguese, even when they were already at a disadvantage and, although the expected result was not achieved, the reality is that they dreamed today thanks to her.

Diana Gomes says everything is decided on the last day

As La Azzurra could not finish the match, Portugal grew bigger and bigger until they found equality.

It was Diana Gomes, who surprisingly appeared as a forward, and signed the equality that causes everything to be decided on the last date of the group. Portugal will have to play against Belgium, already eliminated, and Italy will have to do the same against Spain, already qualified.
