Facing the Czech Republic, Portugal had to wait until the second minute of injury time to score their first goal. Francisco Conceicao's close-range shot brought a 2-1 victory for Portugal in the opening match of Euro 2024.

Portugal's strikers launched 19 shots (8 on target), completely surpassing the Czech Republic with only 5 (1 on target). Portugal had a ball possession time of up to 74%, much higher than the Czech Republic (26%).

Portugal also showed accuracy in their passes with a rate of 87%. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic only had 65%. Corner kick statistics also showed Portugal's dominance. Specifically, they had 13 times performing these situations, while the Czech Republic had none. The two teams showed balance in the foul, offside, and card indexes. The dramatic victory in the opening match helped Ronaldo and his teammates have a bright chance to advance to the next round. In the next match, Portugal will face Turkey at 11pm on June 22.
