Match Summary - Portugal
Francisco Costinha headed Portugal into the quarter-finals of Euro 2000 with only seconds remaining against Romania.
Costinha rose dramatically in the penalty area to grab the only goal of the game and leave Romania heartbroken.
He leapt inside a crowded penalty area to nod Luis Figo's left-wing free-kick past Bogdan Stelea just as both teams looked to have settled for a point each.

Match Summary - Germany
With the 39-year-old Lothar Matthaus forming part of a three-man defensive unit that played like strangers, Romania took a fifth minute lead.
The Germans then suffered a torrid 20 minutes as a series of through balls left keeper Oliver Kahn totally exposed.
But on 29 minutes, Germany grabbed an equaliser from out of nowhere. Markus Babbel and Thomas Linke worked their way down the right and when Paulo Rink passed square to Mehmet Scholl, there seemed to be little on. But the Bayern Munich playmaker rifed a left-foot shot into the top corner with keeper Bogdan Stelea rooted to the spot apparently unsighted.
