Roy Keane believes that Jude Bellingham should start for England in their upcoming Euro 2024 matches...
Read morePortugal secured a dramatic 1-0 victory over Czech Republic in their final Euro 2024 Group D clash, with a bizarre goal being the difference. The game was locked at 0-0 as the clock ticked past the 82nd minute when Bruno Fernandes launched a long throw into the Czech penalty area. A mix-up in the Czech defense then saw Diogo Dalot challenge the goalkeeper, who was attempting to punch clear the throw, and the ball ricocheted off the post. The ball was deflected back towards the goal and Diogo Jota was able to slam home a volley from close range to seal a stunning win for Portugal. Despite the victory, Portugal's progress through to the Round of 16 was left in doubt as Ukraine defeated the Netherlands in the other Group D fixture. Portugal only progressed due to their superior head-to-head record with Ukraine. Portugal's improbable win is likely to be one of the most talked about moments of the tournament so far, with the goal being a bizarre and somewhat fortunate moment for the Portuguese.
