What to say?
It was nothing like the game from World Cup 2010 when Spain beat Portugal 1-0.
This time Portugal was the stronger team, they were controlling the game and did everything to stop Spain from approaching to their goal.
They should win. They were close. But when it came to the penalties it was Spain who won.
Rui Patricio did everything what he could. An amazing save of Iniesta's shot helped to keep up Portugal's dream of the final. He saved also the first spot-kick of Alonso in the penalty shoot-out.
If only things were little different he would become hero just like Ricardo in his time... Today his performance was solid, he commited no mistake. But after the lost game, who will remember about this?
