Portugal goalkeeper saves all three penalties to break Slovenian hearts
Diogo Jota runs into the box, collides with Vanja Drkušić, and falls over. Penalty to Portugal. At last. This is what we came for.is about to shoot at goal for the seventh time in the match.

The whole football world is watching this moment.
