Czech Republic 0-1 Portugal, Ronaldo again

As we expected, a resolute Czech Republic defended stubbornly and almost pushed the game into extra-time. With zero attempts on target, they couldn’t pretend more. Portugal, although dominant throughout the game, especially the second half, waited patiently and eventually broke the deadlock, close to the end of the game. And, again, it had to be Ronaldo.

They need to win two more games to become champions.

One worrying sign remains: Portugal is wasting way too many opportunities. That could prove very costly in a game against Spain or Germany.
