Portugal’s blushes were spared as they came from behind to earn victory over the Czech Republic in their opening match at Euro 2024. AdvertisementInstead, it was the Czech Republic who took the lead — with yet another strike from outside the box. They dominated the ball and Czech Republic were happy enough with that, but Portugal never really clicked, despite deploying an admirable fluid system. Martinez’s side also had eight corners in the first half but the steely Czech Republic held firm, frustrating their opponents. Saturday, June 22: Turkey (Dortmund), 5pm BST, noon ETWhat next for Czech Republic?

Finishing bottom of the group at Russia 2018, a tournament Germany went into as defending champion, was a historic low for the four-time World Cup winner. But after that shock 2-1 defeat to Japan in its opening match, it is once again a distinct possibility. That result means the match against Spain is do or die for Germany, as a defeat would confirm an early flight home from Qatar. World Cup team camps have traditionally been somewhat strict, private affairs, but Spain head coach Luis Enrique has been taking an unconventional approach to passing the time behind closed doors. In Group E’s other match, Japan knows victory over Costa Rica will guarantee its place in the knockout stages.
