Portugal vs Czechia LIVE: Euro 2024 result and final score as Francisco Conceicao goal wins it for Ronaldo
Portugal 2-1 Czech Republic: Conceicao scored the winner just moments after coming off the bench after Lukas Provod had given the Czechs the lead
A late goal by Portugal substitute Francisco Conceicao secured a 2-1 victory over the Czech Republic in their opening Group F game at Euro 2024, where they also needed an own goal as they came from behind to snatch victory.
As Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to feature at a sixth European Championship, Portugal dominated possession and had the lion’s share of the chances but it was the Czech’s who took the lead in the 62nd minute when Lukas Provod whipped a stunning strike into the far corner.
Seven minutes later Portugal were level when Czech goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek pushed away a header from Nuno Mendes but only as far as the leg of Robin Hranac and the ball ricocheted into the defender’s own net. The game was in added time when Conceicao tapped in from close range after a defensive mistake from Hranac to give Portugal the win

Kochorashvili collects on the edge of the box, stands up Yildiz, fools him with a stepover and beats him down the right. He cuts back an inviting cross to Mikautadze, who hits it low first time towards the near post, and it creeps past Gunok!

Turkey think they have a second but it’s ruled out for offside!
Turkey work it down the right this time and the ball is cut across to Yildiz, who is there with the tap-in into an open goal and he converts it, but he’d drifted offside!

GOAL! What a hit!
Goal of the tournament contender for Turkey!
Turkey attack down the left and Kadıoğlu is found on the overlap. He clips a ball across and it’s headed away but only as far as Muldur, who’s arriving on the edge of the box.
He hits a volley with brilliant technique, slicing across it, and it’s rifled into the top corner!
Turkish delight in Dortmund.
