Portugal Vs. Spain, Euro 2012 Semifinals: Extra Time Ahoy!

Update: Final score Portugal 0-0 Spain, La Roja win on penalties

We've had ninety minutes of scoreless football, so now it's extra time in the Euro 2012 semifinal between Spain and Portugal. I'd like to say this is a surprise, but it's not - most of the life has been choked out of the match by two good midfields and there simply haven't been many chances for either side to score. Spain have been the better team, but you'd have to expect that Portugal are pretty happy with going to extra time, because they're on two extra days' rest.

They will, however, not be happy about this:

That was their big chance; that was Cristiano Ronaldo's big chance. The stage was set perfectly for him to be a hero, the man who beat the unbeatable. And he completely fluffed his lines. Whoopsie. Miguel Veloso takes out his anger by wiping out Jordi Alba on the right. That's five bookings for Portugal now. Tetchy!
