<p style="text-align: justify"><strong><em>Liverpool FC defender Tiago Ilori suffered the heartbreak of losing the final as Goalkeeper Patrik Carlgren saved two penalties in a shoot-out to lead Sweden to victory over Portugal and their first European Under-21 title in Prague on Tuesday.</em></strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify">Tiago Illori had missed the 5-0 semi final win over German with a thigh problem. But, the Liverpool FC man, who has been very impressive in the tournament so far helping Portugal concede just one goal in 5 games, could not prevent a loss for Portugal despite keeping another clean sheet as the game ended 0-0.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">In the ensuing penalty shoot out, the Swedish goalkeeper, playing for club side AIK Stockholm, sent a vociferous yellow-clad crowd at Prague's Eden stadium into raptures when he saved attempts by Ricardo Esgaio and William Carvalho for a 4-3 win in the shoot-out.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">His Portuguese counterpart Jose Sa, only managed one save in the shoot-out.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Carlgren was elated at his side's success. "It's insane, completely insane to win a Euro championship. We're writing Swedish history," he told uefa.com.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">"It was a fantastic match from beginning to end. We knew they'd have a lot of the ball, but we played one hell of a match."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Of William Carvalho's decisive spot kick, he added: "I had a feeling he'd go for that side, I went the right way and saved the penalty."</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Portugal had swept past Germany 5-0 in the semi-final, but Sweden's defence proved a harder nut to crack.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Playing their first under-21 final since 1994, Portugal created more scoring chances and went on an attacking spree early in the game but Pereira Ricardo missed Carlgren's right post narrowly with a low left-foot shot after two minutes.</p> . <p style="text-align: justify">Five minutes later, Sergio Oliveira hit the Swedish crossbar from a free kick.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Sweden, who last played an under-21 final in 1992, ventured forward on 12 minutes when Isaac Kiese Thelin headed into Sa's hands.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Sweden striker John Guidetti, who spent last season at Celtic, half-volleyed just over the bar on 52 minutes in the best scoring chance of the game.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Oliveira's low shot missed narrowly seconds later, while Carlgren stopped substitute Toze's low shot from 25 metres and another substitute, Iuri Medeiros, missed the target.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Joao Mario sent his shot over the bar five minutes from time and Guidetti's close-range shot was denied by Sa, who also intercepted a pass aimed by Guidetti at Kiese Thelin in front of goal.</p> <p style="text-align: justify">Sweden put Portugal under pressure in extra time -- Abdul Rahman Khalili's shot missed the target narrowly with Sa beaten and his next attempt went far wide.</p> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GfDsCm3VLQ
