Portugal reach quarter finals
Portugal became the first team to reach the quarter-finals stage at the Euro 2008 tournament when they beat the Czech Republic 3-1 in their second match in Group A.
Portugal is also the first team to win a group because no other team in that group can now overtake them.
But there have been a few other firsts already so far. Russia was the first losing team to score a goal. Before that all losing teams had failed to score a goal.
In beating the co-hosts Switzerland 2-1, Turkey became the first team to come from behind and win a match. Sad for the co-hosts they became the first side to exit the tournament.
Spain's David Villa was the first player to get a hat-trick but it wont be surprising if he is the last as well.
To beat Austria, Croatia got the first penalty of the tournament.
There must be a few other firsts like yellow cards and so on but these are just a few of them.
