By

With Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the match early due to injury, France not surprisingly had most of the chances throughout the Euro 2016 final against Portugal. In the second half of extra time, though, substitute Éder (full name Éderzito António Macedo Lopes) slotted the ball home from outside the penalty area to give Portugal a 1-0 victory and the Euro 2016 title. Ronaldo was pleased.
