The Santander striker went so close in the 81st minute when, using a neat little drag back, he skipped away from two challenges and unleashed a left-footed effort, which curled inches wide.
In another match in Vienna, Michael Ballack's free-kick lifted Germany to a 1-0 victory over co-hosts Austria.
Germany's Michael Ballack (L) vies with Austria's Juergen Saeumel during a Euro 2008 Group B football match in Vienna June 16, 2008. Germany won the match 1-0.
Ballack scored by a powerful 28-yard free kick in the 49th minute, the first goal on a direct free kick in Euro 2008. The shot was so speedy that Austria goalkeeper Jurgen Macho got caught slightly off his line. In a sold-out Ernst-Happel Stadium, Germany staged attack waves one after another during the first ten minutes as they were striving to booking a seat for the last eight.
However, ambitious Germany encountered fierce countattacks from co-hosts Austria.
