all tied. third youngest scorer at the euros sanches announcers praising it as a great shot, but the reality is that it was extraordinarily lucky took exactly the right deflection off the defender's knee to get past the keeper his shot was blocked, I'm sure he wasn't intending for it to be partially blocked and take an odd deflection
That was not luck at all. He created the space, struck it perfectly cleanly, and if it did deflect (I didn't even see if it touched a Poland player), it was very minor.
huh? it was a clear deflection changed the course and angle of the shot that's a textbook example of luck shot it off the defender's leg if a video is posted, I'll try and post it here. There's no question is was a deflection. Highly doubt he scores if it were not for the deflection.
Slipknottingham @jjc271080 11m11 minutes ago Not taking anything away from Sanchez but it wasn't a stunning strike, not a clean struck shot #deflection #Greatfuture #EURO2016 UEFA EURO 2016 Verified account @UEFAEURO 40m40 minutes ago Paris, France Renato Sanches takes a pass from Nani and pings the ball via a deflection into the corner from outside the area! #EURO2016 Ed Jackson Verified account @edjacko 13m13 minutes ago Andy Cole on Renato Sanches strike. "Slight deflection". Slight? It went from heading to far post to going in at the near. #EURO2016 IdntityUnknwn @Idntityunknwn 18m18 minutes ago The goal from Sanches is overhyped. It was a good goal. But not "golazo". The deflection helped. Zlatan'ised @Zach_13th 19m19 minutes ago @SonySIX a very generous deflection but Renato Sanches looks like the real deal. Pains me as @ManUtd fan #FootballExtraaa Nived @ChurchOfThibaut 20m20 minutes ago Really unfortunate deflection leading to that Sanches goal. Fabianski had it covered. Spencer FC Verified account @SpencerOwen 40m40 minutes ago Wow. Cheeky deflection but decent goal. What a way for Renato Sanches to announce himself on the scene! Could do bits for Bayern next year.
Portugal through to the semifinals, still without a regulation win. Penalty kicks, as the Polish keeper couldn't make a single save.
What a performance I swear by Wales. I love them. Really sucks that Aaron Ramsey will miss the semi with a stupid yellow card. They need to fix the rule on that considering they added the round of 16. It's lame...Either way this win is big because the other players stepped up around Bale. Bale is such a fantastic leader who leads by example. Love it. Portugal has been mediocre...Can't believe one of these two will be in the final
It would be painful to see Portugal make the final after their woeful performances. Wales is so much more deserving.
shame would've liked to see France out France vs. Germany should be the finals. Instead, due to the imbalance, it's the semis. Two best sides.
