Portugal’s night against Czechia in their opening match of the 2024 European Championship looked rough when it conceded an early goal off Lukáš Provod in the second half.
However, an own goal by Robin Hranac restored parity, with thousands of Portuguese fans singing and chanting for their country at the Leipzig Stadium on Tuesday.
