Portugal had to sweat to take down the Czech Republic in their UEFA Euro 2024 debut. Cristiano Ronaldo and company were shockingly trailing as Provod opened the scoring with a fantastic goal, but an own goal by Hranac and a late winner by Conceicao let Roberto Martinez’s side turn things around.
With this result, Portugal are second in Group F behind Turkey, who beat Georgia 3-1 earlier today. On Bolavip we brought you every single moment of the game, so you can watch the highlights and goals here!
