Portugal’s goalkeeper Diogo Costa emerged as the hero after their Euro 2024 win over Slovenia, earning high praise from manager Roberto Martinez.
Costa’s heroics came during the penalty shootout following a scoreless 120 minutes. He made a string of three crucial saves to secure Portugal’s victory.
Martinez couldn’t hide his admiration for Costa at the post-match interview. He remarked that Costa “reached a completely different level” and hailed his focus in making those consecutive saves. “We have to be very proud of him,” declared Martinez.
