토토사이트 – Portugal dramatically beats Czech Republic with Concei Prize theatrical goal
the reversal drama of Portugal
In the first Group F match of Euro 2024 held at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany on the 19th (Korea time), Portugal came from behind to win 2-1 with Francisco Concei’s theatrical goal during extra time in the second half. With this victory, Portugal ranked second in the group after Turkiye, which beat Georgia 3-1.
Portugal was considered a favorite to win the title at this year’s championship, and showed off its overwhelming attack strength with 36 goals by passing the preliminary round with all 10 wins. Strikers including Bruno Fernandes, Bernardu Silva, Rafael Leão, and Joao Felix received positive reviews, with Cristiano Ronaldo at the center. Ronaldo has continued to display scoring skills even after moving to Saudi Arabia, and is currently playing for the national team. Notably, he scored his 130th goal in a friendly match against Ireland. Ronaldo is playing in his sixth Euro tournament since 2004, and is seeking his second win since winning the title in 2016.
Czech Republic’s opening goal and Portugal’s counterattack
Portugal came into the game with a 3-4-3 tactic. With Ronaldo at the front line, Leão and Bernardu Silva were placed on the left and right sides, while Fernandez and Vitinha were placed in the midfield. João Cancelo and Diogo Dalot were placed as left and right wing-backs, while Nunu Mendes, Pepe, and Juvenile Díaz were in charge of defense. Diogo Costa kept the goal. On the other hand, the Czech Republic countered with a 3-5-2 tactic. Patric Shik and Jan Kucha formed two-top shots, while David Dudera, Pavel Shilk, Luca Broboard, and Vladimir Chowfal were placed in the second line. Toma Soucek played as a defensive midfielder, while Radislav Krejci, Robin Hurnach, and Toma Holes played as three-backs. The goal was kept by Idihi Stanek.
Portugal put a strong pressure on the Czech Republic from the beginning of the game. Starting with Ronaldo’s header in the seventh minute, the team continued to attack, but was blocked by the Czech Republic’s solid defense. In the 31st minute, after receiving a lobbed pass from Fernandez, Ronaldo got a critical chance but was saved by the goalkeeper. In the end, the first half ended 0-0.
In the 17th minute of the second half, Czech Proboard scored the first goal as it shook Portugal’s net with a right footed shot. Portugal were embarrassed, but Diogo Jota stepped up their attack. In the 24th minute of the second half, Mendes connected Vitinha’s cross with a header and it was an own goal after being hit by Czech defender Hollnacci’s foot. Portugal continued to attack. In the 41st minute of the second half, Ronaldo’s header came off the post, and Jota again connected with the header, but VAR review showed that the score was cancelled due to offside.
the decisive goal of the Concei Prize
As 토토사이트 expected, Francisco Conceição, who was substituted at the end of the second half, scored a decisive come-from-behind goal. When the Czech defense failed to properly clear the ball that Pedro Netu handed to the door, Conceição did not miss it and scored. Conceição is the son of Sergio Conceição, who played as Portugal’s key striker in Euro 2000 and the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, and has inherited his father’s reputation in this match.
Portugal’s captain Ronaldo and central defender Pepe each set a new milestone. At 39 years and 134 days, Ronaldo became the oldest captain and the most capped player (six times) in the history of the Euro tournament, while Pepe at 41 years and 113 days broke the record for the oldest ever in the history of the Euro tournament.
Vitinha’s performance and the director’s evaluation
Portugal’s Vitinha was named Player of the Match after the match by the UEFA Technical Committee. “There is no easy match for the Euros. We controlled the game well, we got more opportunities,” Vitinha said with satisfaction. Portugal coach Roberto Martinez praised the players for their effort and performance, saying, “The Czech Republic scored on just one shot on target. We tried more attacks, and we ended up winning.”
The win will give Portugal a positive start to their journey at Euro 2024.
