France with advantage of being the hosts conducted attacks from the beginning of the match. Portugal overcame the early loss of captain Cristiano Ronaldo thanks to substitute Eder's superb extra-time strike. On the 109 minutes, Eder fired a far drive past keeper Hugo Lloris. France, the firm favourites, were unable to capitalise on Ronaldo's absence.
