Nani hails Portugal's "fantastic" performance as they book their place in the semi-finals of Euro 2012 with a 1-0 win over the Czech Republic.

Portugal winger Nani has described his side's performance in Thursday's Euro 2012 quarter-final win over the Czech Republic as "fantastic".

Paulo Bento's men booked their place in the semi-finals thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's header with just 11 minutes to play in Warsaw as they sealed a 1-0 victory.

"It was a very difficult game but we did very well," Nani told BBC Sport.

"I think everyone was fantastic on the pitch. It's a great performance by all the players and I'm satisfied with the result.

"Now it's going to be more difficult every game but the whole team is confident, I'm very confident for the next game. Now we have to rest and prepare for the big match."

The 2004 runners-up will now face either Spain or France for a place in the final.
