In the first semi-final match of Euro-2018 teams of Russia and Portugal met. Nominal owners from the first minutes of active pressure and quickly extracted from this dividend. Chishkala intercepted the ball in the center line, played on Robinho, and he rolled out on an empty net to Eder Lima, 1: 0. The team of Sergei Skorovich continued to meet his opponent highly, which caused Ricardinho and Co. certain difficulties.

Zamtaradze had to really join the game closer to the middle of the inning. It was during this period that Ricardinho began to take on the game more often. Especially memorable is the solo passage of the captain of the nominal guests on the flank with the subsequent lumbago, which was intercepted by Zamtaradze. In the final minutes, the Portuguese were extremely active, but turned the game advantage into goals failed.

The second half of the game was pleased with the abundance of moments and the heat of passion. Andre Coelho restored parity by a powerful blow after an unsuccessful interception of an opponent. And after five minutes, Portugal came forward. Andre Coelho was struck by a crazy blow to the far top corner of the goal - Zamtaradze did not have the opportunity to help out the team. Georges Braz's charges collected five fouls, which gave the game even more emotionality. The referee had reasons to fix the sixth violation of the rules, but he did not dare.

The Russians released the fifth field, so Bruno Coelho struck from his half of the field already an empty gate.

Note that just before this there was a controversial point, which the arbitrator interpreted in favor of the Portuguese. It seemed that Souza played with his hands outside the permissible zone. Eder Lima, four seconds after the goal of the Portuguese reduced the gap, but this did not save the Russians from defeat. As a result, the team of Georges Braz achieved the final of the tournament, where he will meet the winner of the pair Kazakhstan - Spain.

Russia - Portugal 2: 3 Goals: Eder Lima, 3'12 '', 39'11 '' - Andre Coelho, 30'03 '', 35'34 '', Bruno Coelho, 39'04 ''.
