After 120′ of play and a Rooney red card, England walks off the pitch disheartened. Portugal took away their ticket to the semis, where they would’ve faced Brazil again like the last time. That is, if Brazil wins in the game to follow.
- Simao Sabrosa [POR] takes the first penalty.
- Frank Lampard [ENG] shot was saved by Ricardo [POR].
- Hugo Vianna [POR] missed, the ball hit the outside of the post.
- Owen Hargreaves [ENG] scores for the Brits.
- Petit [POR] shoots a wide, misses.
- Steven Gerrard [ENG] shot was saved.
- Helder Postiga [POR] scores.
- Jamie Carragher [ENG] scores but the referees order a re-take, second try was diverted to the bar.
- Cristiano Ronaldo [POR] scores, decides the game.
Final score after PSO, 1:3, in favour of Portugal.
It’s a bloody shame but England’s been known to bow out of major competitions through penalties. This is Portugal’s first draw in the 15 games they’ve played in the FIFA World Cup and their 2nd time to qualify for the semi-final since 1966 where England beat them at Wembley.
