It’s quarter final stage at Euro 2012 and the first to face each other were the Czech Republic and Portugal. It was an exciting game with Portugal having the upper hand for most of it.

It was the only goal of the game and Portugal are the first country to progress to the semi finals.. [43 photos total]
