Attention now turns to Portugal's opener against Czech Republic, where Pepe will set a new record as the oldest player to ever play at a European Championship after the 41-year-old was selected to start tonight's game.
The Porto centre-back will pass the mark set by Hungary goalkeeper Gabor Kiraly, who was 40 years and 86 days when he played against Belgium in the round of 16 at Euro 2016.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 39, will also beat the previous record of an outfield player that had been held by Lothar Matthaeus after his 150th and final appearance for Germany at Euro 2000.
Ronaldo already holds the record for most goals (14) and appearances (25) in European Championship history.
