The press and the fans are far from being flattering towards the performance of Portuguese team and players. However, there is one person whose efforts had been valued.
It's Eduardo.
PortuGoal named Eduardo a man of the match.
"There can be no doubts as to the PortuGOAL man of the match – Eduardo – who kept the Spaniards at bay for over an hour with a series of breathtaking saves."
Eduardo: 9.5/10 PortuGOAL man of the match
"A cat-like leap to turn a Fernando Torres shot round the post in the first minute set the tone as Eduardo proved an almost impregnable shield against the incessant Spanish attack. Further superb saves in the 3rd, 6th, 60th, 69th, and 76th minutes kept Portugal in the game, and as a disconsolate Eduardo left the pitch bathed in tears one could not help feeling the Braga man deserved a better supporting cast."
More quotes:
"I think Eduardo was the man of the match. He was very good. He provide the team with a feeling of security and gave them hope. He made a great show, but everyone played well."
- Ricardo, the former goalkeeper of Selecção, a commentator at Maisfutebol
"Eduardo kept the team in the fight for most of the time; he was just unfortunately that the rebound from him fell to a Spanish player"
Eduardo gave us a brilliant performance
– Carlos Queiroz, the coach
Eduardo, was very assured, and did not deserve this defeat.
