Portugal were strong in possession but lacked punch in attack; unable to convert 57% possession into goals. پائولتا had two clear chances from 15 metres, but both times hit tame shots that did not trouble keeper اولیور کان, who was playing in his last match for the German national team. Portugal got a consolation goal with the help of substitute Luís Figo (also playing the final international game of his career), who almost immediately provided the precise distribution needed to unlock the German defence. A cross from the right wing on 88 minutes found fellow substitute Nuno Gomes at the far post, who dived in for the goal. The game ended 3–1, a result which gave the tournament hosts the bronze medals and left Portugal in fourth place.
