Portugal equalized in the 69th minute when Czech goalkeeper Jendrij Stanek headed Nuno Mendes’s header and the ball collided with Czech player Ruben Haranach and went into the goal.
Substitute Diogo Jota should have scored the winner just before the end of normal time, but Cristiano Ronaldo’s header was ruled out by the referee after reviewing the video assistant referee due to Saudi Al. – Nasser star offside.
Concessão scored in the second minute of stoppage time to move Portugal into second place in Group F on goal difference after Turkey, who beat Georgia 3-1 earlier today.
Today’s match was expected to be an away game as the Portuguese national team scored 36 goals and conceded only 2 goals in the qualifiers.
As expected, Portugal controlled the ball early in the match to lay siege to the Czech team, but their attacks could not penetrate the tight Czech defence.
Despite dominating possession, Portugal’s chances were limited. Rafael Leo was the most dangerous running down the left but was booked for a tackle.
Ronaldo, as expected, was at the heart of most of Portugal’s attacks and had a few dangerous chances in the first half when a shot from Bruno Fernandes was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Portugal got their first goal shortly after the break when the goalkeeper made a header to prevent the goal from being scored.
Out of nowhere, the Czech team started a quick attack and Vladimir Koval played the ball to Provod and fired a powerful shot into the net.
But the Czech team’s lead was short-lived as Portugal were lucky to draw. Nuno Mendes’ header was blocked by the goalkeeper and the ball hit Hranac and went into the goal.
Portugal thought they had grabbed the win when Ronaldo headed it back to Jota to score, but the referee disallowed the goal after reviewing the video assistant referee due to Ronaldo’s offside.
Haranak made another mistake trying to get the ball out and Concecao used it to score the game-winning goal.

This was probably one of the best matches of the tournament so far and it had everything any football fan could ask for, from the spectacular goals to the attempts by both teams, some of which went over the line, to the cheers and enthusiasm at the back, the atmosphere created by the Turkish fans was deafening and shook the sides of the stadium.
Turkey controlled most of the match but were often exposed defensively and had to fight hard as the Turkish fans waited for the final whistle.
After Giorgi Koshurashvili hit the woodwork from close range, Georgia squandered a dangerous chance when Koshurashvili and team-mate Giorgi Mikoutaze attempted to fire in a cross from close range.
6 minutes after the start of the game, Zoriko Devitashvili, who came in as a substitute, headed the ball, Ayeden made a quiet save, and Bodo Zevzevaze recovered the ball.
The Turks had the upper hand in possession and Khan Ayhan’s long-range shot was used by Muldur in the 25th minute to score a wonderful free kick from the Georgian defenders to give Turkey the lead. To beat the goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili to pass the ball.
Kenan Yildiz scored Turkey’s second goal a minute later on a quick counterattack, but his goal was ruled offside by the video assistant referee.
Georgia turned the tide in their first appearance at a major international tournament and after several chances in the 32nd minute, Mikautze had to do better to cover teammate Kushurashvili’s cross past goalkeeper Mert Junuk.
Superior compression
In the second half, Turkey seemed to have more energy, but as in the beginning of the game, they controlled the flow of the game and constantly put pressure on Georgia, but continued to suffer from counter-attacks on both wings.
However, it was the 19-year-old Guler who entered the competition with a streak of goals against Real Madrid, who scored a goal in the 65th minute to turn Turkey’s dominance into a good one.
Real Madrid’s Guler fired a perfectly unstoppable left-footed shot into the net, and Guler, who won the man of the match award, showed why Real Madrid fans were so delighted with his performance.
“I am very happy and there are no words to describe my feelings,” Guler told Turkish television after the game. I have been constantly dreaming of this goal. I recently practiced this shot at the end of training sessions. I am very happy to get such a score.
Georgia scored a late goal when goalkeeper Mamardashvili converted a corner kick and Kerim Akturkoglu raced in to score in extra time to give Turkey a 3-1 win.
After Georgia play the Czech Republic, Turkey play Portugal next Saturday.
