SPAIN is through to its fourth European Championship final after beating Portugal on penalties in a thriller.
After 120 minutes of scoreless football that produced numerous chances but no luck, Spain slotted four of their penalty shots while Portugal missed two to hand the pre-match favourites the result.
Cesc Fabregas took the final penalty shot for Spain but endured a heart-stopping moment when his low shot hit the left post and ricocheted at right angles, just sneaking inside the right post.
Portugal inexplicably chose not to use star striker Cristiano Ronaldo in their first four penalty shootout shots, with the result decided before they had the chance to take their fifth.
