Portugal earned a hard-fought victory over Czechia at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig courtesy of a second half own goal and Chico's late winner.

On a wet pitch against a well-drilled, compact side, it was to be expected that many players struggled. And when Czechia struck with their very first shot on target in what seemed like their first attacking foray of the match, many supporters feared the absolute worst. 

As the dust settles on Portugal’s Euro 2024 opener against Czechia last night, PortuGOAL looks back in picture form on a somewhat surprising, somewhat stressful but ultimately happy night for Seleção fans in Leipzig.

It was a tense curtain-raiser for the Seleção in Leipzig, which briefly looked to be heading for disaster when Czechia seized a surprise lead after an hour. Roberto Martínez's side came through the test and left us with much to ponder ahead of Türkiye on Saturday.

Taking a look at the night’s action, we discuss the talking points as Portugal put their supporters through a rollercoaster which ended with a classic tournament moment provided by Francisco Conceição’s winner.

Portugal got their Euro 2024 campaign off to a winning start after coming from behind to beat Czechia in Leipzig tonight.

Coach Roberto Martínez was keen to emphasise the resilience and character the team showed, while Bernardo Silva stressed the importance of starting with a win.
