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. We know it's a hassle to switch browsers but we want your experience with CNA to be fast, secure and the best it can possibly be.
