Portugal vs Czechia LIVE: Euro 2024 result and final score as Francisco Conceicao goal wins it for Ronaldo

You’d be forgiven for having earmarked Turkey vs Georgia as the most low-key fixture of the Euro 2024 group stage. After all, the combined ranking of the teams was the most modest at the tournament so far, and Georgia entered Group F with no European Championship experience to their name. This game, though? It turned into something far beyond a football match.

Perhaps that should have been evident in the hours before kick-off. Biblical rain and severe weather warnings led German authorities to encourage fans without tickets to stay inside, and to watch the match at home if possible. The elements were deemed a threat to the safety of supporters, before their safety was even threatened by fan violence inside the BVB Stadion in Dortmund.

But when that violence began, as water spilt through the roof of the arena and fans spilt from their seats to attack one another, questions arose. Would the game go ahead, and if it were to, would it even resemble a football match?

To say the tension could be cut with a knife would be to give unnecessary credit to knives. You could have lacerated the tension with a balloon.

It felt as though everything could come crashing down at any moment, courtesy of the slightest move or even thought. It felt as if a foul on the pitch could incite a riot off it, such was the air of hostility, yet thankfully the violence in the stands did seem to have subsided by kick-off.

So after an enthralling opening match of Group F in Dortmund, here’s an updated list of the results so far at Euro 2024.

GOAL! And Turkey seal it!

Georgia have two consecutive corners and Mamardashvili has stayed up. The second ball in is punched away by Gunok, and Aktürkoğlu collects it with the Georgia ‘keeper still in the opposition box. He’s in acres of space and he races towards Georgia’s unguarded goal, before coolly passing it into an open net to spark bedlam at the BVB Stadion.

Portugal have named their team and Cristiano Ronaldo will be leading the line in their first Euro 2024 match against Czechia.

There is a strong Premier League contingent, including Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and Dalot to make up the side.

SO CLOSE!

Kvaratskhelia swings the ball in and it beats every man in the box before crashing against the post! The rebound bounces to Zivzivadze, who practically has the open goal to aim at, but Akaydin dives in to block it and it goes out for a corner!

Georgia aren’t giving up but they’re running out of time. They win a free-kick midway through the Turkey half, on the left wing. Mamardashvili is coming up...

CLOSE! So nearly an equaliser for Georgia!

Brilliant work from Kvaratskhelia down the left to beat his man and cut it back into the box. The ball deflects up into the path of Mikautadze, but there’s confusion between him and Kochorashvili and they both go to hit it, with the ball bouncing off both before it rolls agonisingly wide.
