The Portugal qualified for the European Championship from 1984 a tough group that included Poland and the Soviet Union, so hopes were high for a good performance at the tournament proper in France. The first group stage was a tight affair with some hard-fought games, but a late goal from Nené was enough to give Portugal a vital victory over Romania and a place in the semi-finals. An exciting match against hosts France followed, with Fernando Chalana brilliant on the wing and Rui Jordão ruthless in front of goal. The match went into extra time and Portugal 's hopes were cruelly dashed by Michel Platini's 119th-minute goal.
