Portugal gatecrashed France's Euro 2016 party to win the European Championship for the first time in its history[1] -- and all this without their leading star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Real Madrid forward had been forced out of the game with a knee injury[2] in the first half, but Portugal regrouped and, thanks to some heroic goalkeeping from Rui Patricio, took the game into extra time[3] before forward Eder struck with 11 minutes to go.
Portugal's win was all the more remarkable given in their previous 10 meetings, France had won all of them.
