Portugal win Euro 2016 football championship; beat France 1-0

Portugal lifted the Euro 2016 football championship at Saint-Denis in Paris beating France 1-0.

Substitute Eder scored in extra-time to give Portugal a win at their first major international title despite losing captain and talisman Cristiano Ronaldo to injury.

Eder scored the goal with 11 minutes of extra time left to stun France after the host team had dominated the match.

Ronaldo, Portugal's all-time leading scorer, went down after a heavy tackle from Dimitri Payet in the eighth minute but played on before being replaced in the 25th minute.
