Portugal vs Czechia UEFA Euro 2024 Highlights | Francisco Conceição scores late winner to hand Portugal full points

Portugal defeated the Czech Republic by 2-1 in the Group F fixture of the UEFA Euro 2024. Despite a few chances for Cristiano Ronaldo in the first half, it was Czechia's Provod who scored the first goal of the match in the 62nd minute of the match to stun the whole football world. 

But, their joy could not last long since Robin Hranac scored an unlucky own goal to hand Portugal the equaliser. Though the Czechia team had done a great job in resisting the Portuguese team till regulation time, it was a late winner from Francisco Conceição that broke their heart. A 92nd-minute goal from the 21-year-old would mean Portugal would leave the field with full points. 

In this game, Pepe became the oldest outfield player to play in the European Championship while Cristiano Ronaldo became the only player to play in six Euro Cups.

Full time | Portugal 2-1 Czechia
A heartfelt defeat for Czechia. They were so good yet so far from winning a point against the mighty Portugal. Ronaldo and company earn important full points with a winner from Conceição.
A lucky and important escape for Portugal 😰
