Goal 1-0
The goal emerged from a typical Éder´s move – a good
combination with the midfielders, receiving the ball with
the center back on his back.
With Koscielny on Éder’s back, Umtiti shouldn’t be side-
by-side with his teammate.
When Éder gained the position to Koscielny, Umtiti was
too far away from the ball, and starts to get back to
shorten the space.
This gave enough space for Éder to shoot, and score the
goal that gave Portugal the first European Championship
title.
