MARSEILLE, France -- Ricardo Quaresma scored the winning penalty as Portugal beat Poland 5-3 in a shootout to reach the semifinals of the European Championship on Thursday.With the quarterfinal level at 1-1 after extra time, Quaresma fired his spot-kick past Lukasz Fabianski to line up a match against either Wales or Belgium in Lyon on Wednesday.Having previously scored an extra-time winner in the round of 16 against Croatia, Quaresmas penalty sent Portugal into the semifinals for the fourth time in the last five European Championships.Poland winger Jakub Blaszczykowski came into the match at the Stade Velodrome as his teams top scorer. But he had a poor game and saw his penalty saved one-handed by Rui Patricio, allowing Quaresma to finish the job with the very next kick in front of a stand packed with Polish fans.On a night when captain Cristiano Ronaldo turned in another disappointing performance, 18-year-old midfielder Renato Sanches stepped up to score Portugals equalizer in the first half. The teenager was his teams main attacking threat for much of the game with his smart movement and passing, and took man-of-the-match honors in his first international start.Its wonderful for the team, for me as well for scoring the goal, he said. People criticize us, but we dont care because in the end were in the semis.Portugals last six games at European Championships have been drawn after 90 minutes in a run dating back to its loss to Spain on penalties in the 2012 semifinals.Earlier, Poland striker Robert Lewandowski had put his team in front with the quickest goal of the tournament, scoring inside two minutes.Portugal right-back Cedric Soares misjudged a cross-field ball, allowing Kamil Grosicki to break into space on the left flank and send in a low cross for Lewandowski to convert with a first-time shot.Polands lead lasted until the 33rd minute, when Sanches lit up the game with an equalizer.The youngster, who has just been signed by Bayern Munich, cut in from the right and passed to Nani, who sent it back immediately with a neat backheel. Sanches then unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the area that took a deflection off Grzegorz Krychowiak on its way past the outstretched Fabianski.Despite becoming the third-youngest scorer in European Championship history, Sanches played down his goal, calling it simply a move that just turned out that way and I scored. He also volunteered to take a penalty in the shootout and scored with a confident strike into the top-left corner.The match might have been settled in regulation time if Ronaldo hadnt missed a golden opportunity in the 85th minute. He beat the Polish offside trap with a perfectly timed run, but completely missed the ball as he tried to convert a bouncing pass from Joao Moutinho.The Real Madrid star missed another good chance early in extra time when he failed to control the ball in front of goal. The errors meant he has yet to match Michel Platinis all-time record at European Championships of nine goals. However, Ronaldo did score with Portugals opening penalty of the shootout.After the game, Ronaldo threw away his captains armband in frustration.Defeat ends Polands best run at a European Championship.It was a great disappointment for us, coach Adam Nawalka said. The players put a lot of heart into this match. They were fighting as hard as they could.Poland had never won a game in its two previous appearances at European Championships and finished last in its group as a co-host of Euro 2012.Nawalka said we should be happy with what weve achieved in France.Poland had chances to win the game in the second half, notably when Patricio stopped a diving header from Lewandowski.However, the Poles also came within centimeters of scoring an own-goal in the 81st when Pepes pass for Ronaldo was cut out by left-back Artur Jedrzejczyk, whose sliding challenge sent the ball narrowly wide of his own post.Midfielder William Carvalho has started the last three games for Portugal but will miss the semifinal thanks to a second booking of the tournament.Both teams face sanctions from UEFA for pyrotechnic use by their fans, while play was briefly stopped in extra time by a fan who ran onto the pitch before being overcome by police. He wore a green shirt and it was not immediately clear whether he was a fan of either team.---Mike Corder contributed to this report.

AHMEDABAD, India -- He goes by the Twitter handle Browndogg-30x and hes a seasoned ex-pro in Australias homegrown brand of football, the son of one of the more infamous players from that game.Campbell Brown is making a mark on the Kabaddi World Cup in India, leading the Australian team despite his very recent recruitment to the traditional south Asian game.Its very unique, isnt it, the 33-year-old Brown said in an interview at the World Cup. I just think its such an exciting sport, from the playing perspective and from viewers as well.Its such a new sport to us. You see theres a few players in our team that have a professional football background, so we picked up the skill component of it pretty easily, but its just the rules and the things like (that) which are the hard part. It has been a steep learning curve for the team in the first two games, but I think we are getting better and better with each minute we spend on the court. Kabbadi is a contact sport that mixes tag and wrestling and developed over centuries on dusty courts in northern India. Its widely popular in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and usually played abroad by expats from those countries.Organizers are trying to increase the sports global appeal and have 12 national teams competing in the World Cup, including the United States, South Korea, Argentina, Poland, Kenya, Japan and Thailand. Pakistans team was a late withdrawal from the tournament.After three games, hot-favorite India was leading Group A from South Korea and England, having recovered from a shocking opening loss to the Koreans. Iran was in control of Group B with an unbeaten run. The top two teams in each group advance to the semifinals.The basic rules of kabaddi are simple, but the finer arts of the game have evolved over a long time. It is a game between two teams of seven players. The teams take turns to send a raider, or attacker, into the rival half of the field to gain points by trying to touch opponents, who then go out of the game. All the while, the raider chants the word `kabaddi until running out of breath.ddddddddddddPlayers from the defending team try either to evade the touch or get into a grapple to stop the raider returning to his or her half.Brown, who followed in the footsteps of his rugged and controversial father, Mal Brown, and played in the top-flight competition in Australian Rules football, knows how tricky learning the rules of a unique, regional game can be.But hes still struggling to come to terms with the intricacies of Kabaddi.The saying `kabbadi the whole the time you raid, its quite funny, he said, admitting he forgot to do a few times in Australias opening loss to England. The referees were a bit kind on the Australian team and didnt penalize us for it but, when youve got seven players coming at you, raiding and you try to touch them sometimes you just forget to say `kabbadi -- thats probably the funny part of it.England captain Someshwar Kalia also has players whore learning on the go, and having to remember one of the keys is the yoga-like chanting.This is actually a very unique aspect of the sport, he said, adding that it can be difficult combing the physical nature of the game with the finer points. Thats the thing that threw a lot people off.For the South Koreans, its the close connection of the defending team -- a chain-like formation -- that seemed to be most unique part of the game.The most unusual thing for me was that we have to hold our hands while defending, South Korea captain Dong Ju Hong said during a recent training session. Two males holding hands was a little odd for me.After cricket, its one of the most popular sports in India, and the pressure is firmly on the home team at the sixth World Cup.It is very important to win this World Cup as its taking place in our country, and so far we have never lost, India player Deepak Hudda said. We wont settle it without the Cup. Its very important us to win for the prestige of the country. ' ' '
