Portugal and Belgium scored 7 goals each in the group stage against their opponents, but in their clash, only one of them "graced" the opponent's goal with a goal. A lot of emotions, dangerous opportunities created, and uncompromising battles on the field turned into 1 goal, piercing the Portuguese net. In the next stage, Belgium will face the threatening Italians, who passed the test posed by the Austrians in their own quarter-final. The only goal scorer in the match, forward T. Hazard, commented after the game: "In such tough matches, you have to grab the chance that comes your way with both hands and not let go. And there it is! The goalkeeper was expecting me to send the ball to the other corner of the goal, so my choice to strike caught him off guard and he couldn't resist the shot. I am happy to have been able to score a goal for my national team."
