  HOW HAS BENJAMIN SESKO MISSED?!

  HE'S CLEAN THROUGH ON GOAL AND DIOGO COSTA SAVES!

  What an error from Pepe as he allows Sesko to drive through on his own, one-on-one with Costa...

  But the striker can't beat the goalkeeper and will be seeing that chance in his sleep tonight!

  Slovenia should have just won the game right there!

  In tears

  Cristiano Ronaldo has been pictured crying after missing the penalty...

  He's a total mess and his teammates are having to lift him.

  Wow, the emotion is pouring out and he's still got to play another 15 minutes!

  He knows how important that penalty miss could be in what is likely to be his last European Championships for his country.

  As he wandered over to restart the second half of extra time, Joao Cancelo had some harsh words to try and pick him up.

  He's totally devastated!

  The Slovenian fans believe!

  The smoke is just clearing in the stadium after they set off some flares a few minutes ago.

  They will be very proud of their side for the way they have defended against some of the best attackers in the world.

  It's been a similar story at the start of the second half.

  Portugal had a great chance to score through Bernado Silva after a superb run to the byline from Joao Cancelo...

  But Silva blasted over with a wild left-footed strike inside the box.

  Then after a fast counter, Slovenia broke away and won a corner which fell to Timi Maxi Elsnik who scuffed his effort wide.

  Nerves will be rising in the Portugal camp...
