Diogo Dalot was given his first start by coach Fernando Santos and showed the Portugal coach why he should be considered for the rest of the games going forward.
Portugal, unfortunately, lost 2-1 to South Korea who progressed to the next round ahead of Uruguay and Ghana. Chief among the issues was Cristiano Ronaldo's incredibly bad shift in front of goal punctuated with a diving header that completely missed the target despite the forward being given time and space to work his shot out.
But despite the scoreline, Dalot received plenty of plaudits. Throughout the tournament so far, Manchester United fans and Portugal fans alike have asked why the right-back has not started more games.
