What a game it was. Portugal had everything in their hands but failed to stop Sweden or even snatch a draw. It was a close contest until the 40th minute of the match when Sweden made a six-goal lead, a hard challenge for the Portuguese side, even though they came close five minutes before the final whistle. Co-host claimed their sixth win in a row and pushed Hungary into the quarter-final with them.
