Late Dismissal of Francisco Conceição

The closing stages of the match brought disciplinary drama when Portugal was reduced to ten men in the 86th minute. Winger Франсишку Консейсау received two yellow cards within the span of four seconds, resulting in a red card and an immediate dismissal from the pitch, Спорт Mail reported.

The second booking came after protests directed at the officials following a denied penalty appeal for a perceived foul by Остигард inside the penalty area. Following the match, the Juventus and Portugal winger addressed his dismissal on social media.

Мне очень жаль, что я оставил команду вдесятером в ключевой момент матча, Консейсау stated. Но это был эпизод, который, на мой взгляд, не заслуживает удаления. Самое важное — победа Португалии и выход в четвертьфинал.
