I was fortunate to score again — the only goal of the match. I remember celebrating by kissing the badge in front of our fans. It was a hard-fought victory and that's why it felt so special. It's a match that will stay in my memory for the rest of my life.

Portugal advanced to the semi-finals, where they would ultimately finish third in the tournament. But for Maniche, the battle of Nuremberg remains a defining memory — ugly, fierce, and utterly unforgettable.
