Portugal won 2-1 against the Czech Republic in the first match at Euro 2024, namely in Group F.
The Portuguese dominated from the start, but in the first 45 minutes the Czech defense was impenetrable.
Cristiano Ronaldo had a golden opportunity to score in the 33rd minute, but Jindrich Stanek was on the spot.
In the second 45 minutes it was a different scenario, with the Czech Republic taking the lead first.
It was Vladimir Coufal who assisted Lukas Provod to make it 1-0 in the 62nd minute.
