Czech Republic 1-3 Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo scored one goal and set up another as Portugal won their second successive match.Portugal went ahead on eight minutes when Deco scrambled the ball past keeper Petr Cech at the second attempt. The impressive Libor Sionko headed in from a corner to equalise but Ronaldo restored the lead with a low drive and then set up Ricardo Quaresma to tap in. The Czechs started well, looking far more purposeful than they had on Saturday, with winger Sionko giving an early warning of his pace and trickery. However, the story was kind of different in the second half, with Portugal making most of their chances and Czechs wasting most of their chances. And soon Portugal regained the lead when Ronaldo clipped in a low shot from just inside the box. For the Czechs, Milan Baros threatened briefly to revive his excellent form of four years ago but generally he looked as potent as the sluggish Jan Koller, the man he had replaced in the starting line-up. However, it was Portugal who had the final say when Ronaldo broke quickly and squared the ball for Quaresma to slide it into an empty net. With Turkey winning their match Portugal are assured of a berth in the 2nd round.
