Chapter 359: Penalty, Golden Ball!

When the game was back to normal, Baia passed the ball to Xavier, who sent a through ball to the touchline, which was very level, and Conceição used his speed to force Lizarazu and crossed from the wing, but Desailly returned to his defensive position in time to break the ball.

If the goal had been scored, Conceição's breakthrough would have been a classic, but now it will be submerged in history.

However, this time Conceição also did his best, after passing the ball, he fell to the ground, knowing that the Portuguese team doctor was treating him, Conceição stood up tremblingly, sat on the sidelines for a while before limping back to the field.

France then won three free-kicks and a corner in the five minutes of the game from 100-105, but neither posed much of a threat to the Portuguese goal.

After the corner kick, the first half of extra time was over, and the score between the two teams was still 1:1, and if there were no surprises in the second half of extra time, the two teams would have a penalty shootout.

As soon as the second half of extra time began, Vincent replaced Wiltord with Trezeguet, and Wiltord didn't run much.

Then, within seconds, Portugal striker Pinto received a yellow card for pedaling Thuram.

In the second half of extra time, the physical fitness of both teams was almost at the limit, so basically they were grabbed by the opponent without taking a few steps in the midfield, and the chance to enter the penalty area was almost gone.

In the 107th minute, Zidane dribbled the ball from the back to 15 meters in front of the Portuguese penalty area, but the last pass was not plugged out and was cut off by the Portuguese player. At this time, Zidane no longer had the physical strength to defend.

Costinha didn't run either, and after breaking the ball, he made a long pass to Fortresse, who squeezed out the last of his energy to complete an inward shot, but it was really the end of the crossbow, and the ball was held by Barthez without strength.

Barthez then threw the ball to Thuram, who passed straight into the front of the pitch and was picked up by Pire, who had switched sides, and then Pire slipped the ball through the slit to Trezeguet, who was inserted into the box, and Trezeguet's shot was saved by Baia.

But the second point was taken by Pire, although it was already a 0-degree angle, but Pire still reluctantly shot the ball towards the goal. The ball was blocked by Xavier halfway back and bounced off the line.

At this time, Pire and Trezeguet signaled to the referee Xavier to block the ball with his hand, the referee did not see it clearly, but the assistant referee waved his small flag at this time and signaled to the referee. After an exchange between the referee and the assistant referee, a penalty was awarded.

The ball was hit by Xavier's hand in slow motion, and the referee's decision was no problem.

But the Portuguese players didn't think so, with six or seven Portuguese players surrounding the assistant referee and the rest surrounding the referee. Especially for the main assistant referee, there is also a person who is pushing the assistant referee.

Because it was a sudden death, this penalty basically meant that Portugal would be eliminated, so even 11 players questioned, begged for mercy, and abused them, anyway, they were trying to find all kinds of ways to hope that the referee could change the penalty and not kill the game prematurely.

But the referee was unmoved, just a move to let the Portuguese players disperse and stop surrounding him and the assistant referee.

At this time, the most angry should be Figo, who took off his shirt himself before the referee showed him a red card. Then he walked out of the pitch with a big curse on the referee and assistant referee.

"It's a lot of personality," said Fan Shanghe and Santini next to him.

"Hehe" Santini also has nothing to say, but hehe.

The referee ignored Figo and firmly awarded France a penalty, and then asked France to hurry up. Zidane, of course, did not let him become the player of the penalty kick.

Zinedine Zidane, who took the penalty, had a serious expression, and Baia, who was in goal, had the same serious expression.

Zidane put the ball away, and then retreated to the top line of the arc, with the referee's whistle, Zidane strode to the ball, made a push to the lower right corner, and then spun his ankle at the moment of touching the ball, changed to a pump, and easily hit the ball into the upper left corner of the Portuguese gate. Baia completely ate Zidane's feints and threw himself to the right, already showing a frustrated expression in mid-air.

"Good!" Fan Shang and the coaching staff all jumped up, and finally advanced to the finals, can you not be excited!

France was celebrating here, while the Portuguese players surrounded the referee and assistant referees for an explanation.

Just now, the referee did not act too radically for the continuation of the game.

Now seeing that the Portuguese players are coming up again, he immediately took out a red card and gave the leading Nunno Gomes, who had the worst temper, a red card, and then escaped from the encirclement of the Portuguese players with the help of the security guards.

After the game, Portugal's coach Coelho was quite unhappy with the referee's decision at a press conference, believing that the referee killed the game.

When a reporter asked Fan Shang, Fan Shang spread his hands, "I respect the referee's decision, and I think UEFA will also deal with this matter fairly in the future." "People who get cheap can say no, you have to respect the referee and UEFA.

Soon, the punishment for this incident came out early the next morning, but Fan Shang saw that the punishment of UEFA was still a little light. Gomez's red card was inconvenient to maintain, and Xavier and Bento were suspended for additional matches.

What happened to Figo, who didn't leave early, shouldn't this kind of negative game teach some lessons? Then the next time when this kind of inevitable defeat comes, it is much more comfortable to remove all the players and give the opponent an embarrassment than to lose directly.

"Johansson is still merciful." Fan Shang sighed when he saw the punishment result.

The Portuguese Football Association is also a smart person, and as soon as the results came out, they jumped out and decided to respect UEFA's final decision, and gave three players who were not absolutely core suspended.

This time, the French players were very good, and none of them got involved in this matter, which made Fan Shang very pleased. But think about it, too, if you have to win the game, who will do more.

At the same time as UEFA issued this announcement, the French side also began to pack their things and prepare to think about the next destination, the location of the European Championship final, the Netherlands, Rotterdam.
