Nếu Hiệp 1 diễn ra trong thế trận khó đoán với sự chắc chắn của cả 2 đội thì Bồ Đào Nha đã giải quyết trận đấu chỉ trong 3 phút ở Hiệp 2 bằng 2 bàn thắng của Ronaldo (phút 50) và Nani (phút 53). Những nỗ lực đơn độc của Gareth Bale đã không thể xoay chuyển được tình thế của xứ Wales.

ReplyDeletePORTUGAL
Rui Patrício 6
Saved comfortably from Bale midway through the first half and had very little to do throughout. Made a couple of solid, but straightforward saves from long range late on.
Cédric Soares 6
Pushed on quite a bit, sending in numerous good cross from the right. Took a pointless shot from 35 yards over after half an hour but he solid without possession.
Bruno Alves 5
An obvious downgrade on Pepe, his lack of speed was exemplified by Robson-Kanu speeding past him so easily after 25 minutes. Yellow carded in the second half.
José Fonte 7
Did well to intercept a Robson-Kanu cross from the right with King lurking menacingly behind. Had a good attempt entering the final 20 minutes, heading a corner just wide.
Raphael Guerreiro 6
Provided the delivery for the opening goal and pinned back Chris Gunter sufficiently, which was tactically at least quite important. Had a simple evening in terms of defending
Danilo 6
Coming in for William Carvalho, he took a while to get going. Made a naive sliding challenge to allow Bale speed past in the first half but also went close to scoring a third.
João Mário 6
Had a low shot from just inside box dragged wide after 16 minutes and fluttered about midfield with plenty of intent – though the end product was often lacking.

Renato Sanches 6
Appeared quite unhappy to be taken off 17 minutes from the end but that was more down to his performance than the manager’s decision. Bright start but faded rapidly.
Adrien Silva 6
Provided a teasing cross for Ronaldo from the left wing late in first half and was comfortable in possession without any truly blistering moments.
Nani 7
Not especially prominent in the opening half but he got a stretched leg to Ronaldo’s scuffed shot after getting a yard in front of Collins to score the second – his third of the tournament.
Cristiano Ronaldo 8
Early claim for a penalty waved away but made his impact count eventually with that typically brilliant header. Also had an assist – from a scuffed shot. Set a leaders’ example.

Wayne Hennessey 5
Not much he could have done for either goal, particularly the second which was from such close range his time to react was minimal, but parried a couple of later shots nervously.
Chris Gunter 5
The wing back could not get forward as often as in other games, giving perhaps his least impressive performance of the tournament. Did OK defensively but ultimately muted.
James Chester 5
Comfortable first half but it went wrong after the interval when losing Ronaldo from the corner for the opening goal. He was booked just after the hour for a foul on the same player.
Ashley Williams 6
Made a delicious tackle on Ronaldo inside three minutes, sliding in and winning the ball with his right boot, that looked to set the tone early on. Caught out of position for second goal.
James Collins 6
Lucky not to concede a penalty when heading away Cédric Soares’ cross with Ronaldo about to leap, putting a hand around his neck, but was aerially dominant before being taken off.
Neil Taylor 6
Handled Sanches well but, much like Gunter, his attacking opportunities were limited. Perhaps it was caginess but Wales suffered by him being penned back.
Joe Ledley 6
Clever corner to Bale early on, which the Real Madrid striker drove over. Worked tirelessly in midfield but was sacrificed less than an hour in for the more attack-minded Sam Vokes.
Joe Allen 5
Conceded two early fouls, the second leading to a booking seven minutes in and never really took control. After a fine tournament, it was a disappointing note to end on.
Andy King 6
He was never going to be a direct replacement for Ramsey because they are such different players but worked hard and got forward. Almost got on to a low cross from Bale early on.
Hal Robson-Kanu 6
Carried through plenty of confidence from that performance against Belgium and gave Bruno Alves a tough time at the start but was spent by the hour and swapped with Simon Church.
Gareth Bale 7
Lively from the off, making a darting run past Danilo. He threatened from range on numerous occasions but was never allowed close enough to do real damage. Still Wales’ best player.
Eurosport: MAN OF THE MATCH
ReplyDeleteCristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) – Cometh the hour, cometh Cristiano. Portugal’s main man delivered on the big stage, rising high to tower in a terrific opener before setting up the second with a sliced shot. There wasn’t much to separate the two teams, but Ronaldo’s world-class quality proved the difference in the end.
Chris Coleman says:
ReplyDeleteI think we didn't want to lose so we're absolutely devastated. They should be very proud.
Getting to a semi-final is one thing but it's the way they've conducted themselves, I think we've added to the tournament. It's a tough one but I'm proud.
Rambo's a miss for any team but you've got to pay credit to Portugal. They sat deep and sat off us, it's a huge compliment to us. It was whoever got the first goal tonight and they got it.
He's incredible. We knew where the danger was going to be, we had a man with him but he just jumped higher!

Bale says:
ReplyDeleteWe're obviously massively disappointed. We've tried to enjoy the experience and we want to thank the fans who have been incredible.
They were a bit lucky on the second, we fought until the last second and we're sorry but we gave everything.
We have no regrets, we're a proud nation and we wanted to challenge for the trophy but it wasn't meant to be.
He's a natural goalscorer. It's not about them, it's about us. We'll pick ourselves up, we'll stick together and go again.
We have to be proud of what we've achieved.
