Yep, penalties. The Portuguese team is to be applauded for managing to keep the French at bay after Rinaldo was taken off. LL

From the UEFA online match info:

All the signs pointed to a France win in normal time. Ronaldo went off injured, Griezmann had a free header in the second half, and Gignac struck the post after a chance he fashioned for himself. Portugal were obdurate but limited. France couldn’t break them down in the regulation 90 minutes and now their stamina will be tested just four days on from beating Germany.

Into extra time. If no-one scores during this period then it's the dreaded penalties! LL
