Cristiano Ronaldo spared frustration after late winner saves Portugal in 2-1 victory over Czechia.
Cristiano Ronaldo was spared a frustrating start to Euro 2024 when Francisco Conceicao struck home an injury-winner to beat Czechia 2-1 in Leipzig. The 39-year-old superstar was left infuriated minutes before the end when he headed the ball against the post, Diogo Jota fired in the rebound, but automated review found that Ronaldo had been in an offside position. However, there was still time for the decisive goal to come.
Provod, who plays his club soccer for Slavia Prague in his home country, backpedaled to receive a short pass, then curved a sweet effort past Diogo Costa from outside the area. However, just seven minutes later, Portugal was level. Nuno Mendes climbed to send a dangerous header goalwards, keeper Jindrich Stanek pushed it away, but the ball connected with the knee of defender Hranac and rebounded into the net.
