Match 4

Belgium vs Portugal 

Seville

Final score 

1-0

T Hazard 42'

Defending Champions Portugal, who failed to score even with 23 shots crashed out of Euro 2020. Belgium will meet Italy on 3 July, Saturday at Munich in their quarter final match. This could be the last time we see 36 years old super star Christiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest of all time. Currently, he is the top scorer in the tournament with 5 goals. 

Earlier, Belgium, who are world number 1 team at the moment, started in. 3-4-2-1 formation, with Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne and Lukaku in attacking positions. They were playing 59th match, in which they managed to find the net 56 times under their spanish coach Roberto Martinez. They have won all three of their group matches and scored 7 times in the process. 

But, Portugal dominated the match with possession, attack and defence. They didnt even conceded single corner in the match. 6 shots came from Belgians and just one on target, came from Thorgan Hazard, from left inside of the pitch, just outside the box, which turned away from stretching Rui Patricio. 

In the second half, Diogo Jota got the best chance of the match for Portugal, but Liverpool man's shot went agonizingly high above the bar. His another shot hit left upright. 

Portugal left with just 1 win in 4 games, fewest from them after their first appearance in 1984.
