Portugal has confirmed its position as a candidate for the Euro 2024 championship. They suffocated the Czech Republic. Statistics show that in the first half, the European Selecao controlled the ball for 73% of the time. C. Ronaldo had certain opportunities to score. For example, Bruno Fernandes passed the ball to CR7 to face the goalkeeper in the 31st minute. However, the Al Nassr striker could not defeat the opponent's goalkeeper. In the second half, Portugal increased the pressure on the Czech Republic's goal. In the 54th minute, CR7 had a brave header but the ball went up in the air. Attacking many times but not scoring a goal, Portugal had to pay the price. In the 62nd minute, Lukas Provod made a technical shot from outside the penalty area, defeating goalkeeper Diogo Costa, opening the score for the Czech Republic. At this point, Portugal pushed the whole squad forward with nothing to lose. In the 69th minute, Roberto Martinez's team had a lucky equalizer. After Nuno Mendes' header, goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek pushed the ball but it accidentally hit Robin Hranac's leg and went into his own net.

In the final minutes, the match was extremely dramatic. In the 86th minute, C. Ronaldo's header hit the Czech Republic's goal post. Then, Diogo Jota rushed in to score the rebound. However, after consulting VAR, the referee denied this goal because CR7 was in an offside position. In the context of C. Ronaldo's bad luck, Portugal still had "young players". Just a few minutes after being on the field, Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceicao shone. Pedro Neto made a cross, the Czech player made a mistake in receiving the ball. Francisco Conceicao rushed in to finish very quickly, raising the score to 2-1 for Portugal. This was also the final score of the match.
