Robert Lewandowski failed to score in his first four appearances at Euro 2016 but it took him less than two minutes of tonight’s quarter-final clash with Portugal to find the net.

It came from a mistake by Cedric Soares before Kamil Grosicki sent in a low cross that the Bayern Munich man expertly rifled home.

But Portugal did find a way back in to the game and it came from a player who officially becomes Lewandowski’s team-mate from midnight.
Renato Sanches has been handed his first start of the tournament (and first senior start ever) after impressing as a substitute against Croatia and he conjured an equaliser after 33 minutes.
The 18-year-old got more than a decent slice of good luck though as his left-foot strike from the edge of the area took a big deflection before nestling in the corner.
