Thrust on penalties by Portugal, Spain finally qualified for the final of Euro (0-0, 4-2). She will defend his title against Germany or Italy.
Cristiano Ronaldo has not even been able to take his shot on goal. Before seeing the Portuguese star to appear, Cesc Fabregas has sent Spain in the final of the Euro by scoring a pole on his way home. La Roja was well rid of Portugal in the semifinals after penalty shoot on goal (0-0, 4-2 on pens). The Spanish team has yet to concede a goal in a match knockout European Championship or World Cup since the 2006 World Cup. She became the first team especially since the FRG in 1976 to play three grand finals in four years. And it offers the opportunity to achieve a triple-World-Euro Euro. But this will require overcoming Germany or Italy who compete Thursday.
The Portuguese will not be ashamed of the Euro and their exit road against the world champions and European champions. Before seeing the kicks of Moutinho and Bruno Alves being stopped by Iker Casillas and repelled by the bar, the Lusitano has not creditable performance against their neighbors. Far from it! With a high dry at all times, they have annoyed teammates Xabi Alonso. While the Spaniards had possession of the ball. But for nearly 90 minutes, they struggled to develop their game, prove really dangerous and undermine the power of Portugal, perfectly in place and secured. It has not until the 67th minute Xavi place to see a shot on target, which was captured without concern by Rui Patricio.
This time Ronaldo has failed to be decisive
The porter Lusitanian was a bit more work in overtime. For entries with Pedro Navas and also more axial repositioning of Iniesta, Spain has regained speed in its transmissions and has finally approached the Lusitanian aim to show dangerous. But Rui Patricio made sure the grain and has rejected attempts to Iniesta (104th) and Navas (111th).
In place, Portugal has also had his chance. With the speed and talent of Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani - who is off but as the minutes - the Portuguese had shaken the Spanish fans. But Ronaldo, who had been decisive in the last two matches, failed to make the decision, especially on free kicks (71e, 83e) and a failed attack against-the 90th. Finally, CR7, who dreamed of completing the work as the fifth shooter Portuguese, has not managed to pass a course in Portugal, which fails for the third time in the semifinals of Euro 1984 after its defeats and in 2000. Without being brilliant and despite the failure inaugural Xabi Alonso in the penalty shoot-aim, Spain continues, she, her beautiful epic. La Roja can write a new golden page in its history.
