We reached the EURO 2020 knockout phase and there were some vintage matches in the round of 16. Four of eight matches were decided after regular time with one going all the way to the penalties. Who would have thought that all three teams from Group of Death will be eliminated in their first knockout matches? Monday brought us two thrilling matches which both ended 3-3 after regular time and probably the biggest surprise from the round of 16 was that Switzerland got the edge over the world champions France after Yann Sommer saved the penalty from PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe. The most convincing victory was Denmark over Wales with a 4-0 win. There was a lot of quality performers and it was once again hard to decide who to put, so we had to cheat a little by putting Luke Shaw as the left centre-back to find a place for another left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko who had a massive match for his country in the extra-time win over Sweden.
GK Thibaut Courtois
Belgium no.1 made some crucial saves in the match against Portugal and kept a clean sheet which was enough for them to win by 1-0. Portugal had 23 attempts, but only four of them were on target and Courtois saved all four of them. Three shots were from inside the penalty area which adds additional value to his performance. In matches like these top-quality goalkeepers are vital to make routine saves and keep concentration through the whole match.
