Jose Mourinho's Prediction Comes True As Portugal Win Opening Euro 2024 Tie
Jose Mourinho had claimed even Portugal's reserves would be contenders for Euro 2024 and they relied on that strength in depth to beat a stubborn Czech Republic 2-1 for a winning start. Two substitutes combined for a 92nd-minute winner as Francisco Conceicao struck his first international goal with his first touch of the ball from Pedro Neto's cross. Another of those sent on by coach Roberto Martinez on Tuesday in Leipzig had also found the net, but Diogo Jota's header was ruled out for offside against Cristiano Ronaldo.
