Portugal's poor performance was very noticeable in the first half, where they couldn't take advantage against a Czech team that only showed glimpses of brilliance. However, everything changed in the second half when, in the 62nd minute, Lukáš Provod scored a stunning goal that gave the visitors a temporary lead.

After the surprising goal, Portugal pushed forward and sought desperately to equalize, and it wasn't until the 69th minute, after an own goal by Robin Hranác, that the score was leveled. But the hosts kept pressing, and thanks to a great play by Francisco Conceição in the 92nd minute, they scored the goal that gave Portugal a dramatic victory.
