Eder Eurocopa 2016 winning goal story

Eder's story from that night is pure football magic. Before his shot, he said almost nobody knew who he was,just his family, teammates, and people at Lille. He never imagined playing a Euro with Portugal. Watching Cristiano Ronaldo leave injured and crying was devastating, he said. Then the coach told him to shoot at goal because Hugo Lloris usually ends up badly positioned. He did, and it became one of the most unforgettable pages in Portuguese football. He wanted to run and hug Cristiano, but teammates surrounded him first. That goal gave him recognition, pride, and changed his life forever. An unexpected hero appeared to give Portugal their first major trophy, right in France.
