Thank you
Match ended
The Belgian team eliminated the reigning champion, eliminated Cristiano Ronaldo's team and will face Italy this Friday at 2 pm.
Great game from both teams, who gave their all and at no time denied a single drop of sweat to their team.
Perhaps Portugal deserved a little more, but that's soccer, it's not about deserving, it's about scoring goals and the one who did it was Belgium, who reached the quarterfinals of a major tournament for the fourth time in a row.

First half ended
A first half that both teams shared to "dominate", but in reality Portugal had more initiative.
The goal came at the best moment of the Portuguese team and when they were about to go up on the scoreboard.
Portugal will have to row upstream and with a Belgium that will be closed in and will try to come out against.
On the other hand, if Belgium wants to keep winning, they will have to take possession of the ball and use their midfielders, who know how to play with the ball on the ground, to their advantage.

⏱ Min 40
⏱ Min 38
The first half is coming to an end and the teams are unable to open the scoreboard, there have only been approaches, but no play of potential or real danger.
They play well until the last quarter, where they always fall into delivery errors.
⏱ Min 36
Meunier broke diagonally inwards, shot with three fingers and the ball went very close to goalkeeper Patrício's goal.
⏱ Min 34
⏱ Min 32
Belgium has good creative midfielders, but in this game they do not appear and that is why it is so difficult for them to advance in the last quarter of the field, they start to see a lot of rose in the game and the game is cut very often, so perhaps, the game does not keep an intensity of play and at times it is slow and boring.

But Portugal has a very limited game, because its players do not generate mobility and the passes are very predictable and horizontal, without verticality and surprise.

Match that complicates the forecast
So bets are open and everything is ready for the curtain to open and the match to start.
All set
We also tell you that the top Belgian scorer in this Euro 2020, is Lukako, with 3 goals scored so: 2 before Russia and one against Finland on the last date of the group stage.
This will be a great match, in which we expect many goals and a good war for the ball in the middle of the field.
Warm-up and tactical analysis
As an additional fact, the teams will have two different tactics, while Belgium will go for 3 at the back, 4 midfielders and 3 in the offensive zone, Portugal has a more conservative and classic formation, in which the line of 4 defenders and 5 midfielders predominate, with only one striker.
It will be a match with many men in the midfield and that can be defined with overflows on the wings, to avoid the traffic that will be generated in the middle.
