Portugal won the match 3-1, with a good performance from Deco to pull them through. Deco started the scoring with a simple tap in after a fumble by Czech. Ronaldo had driven himself into the box and started rounding the keeper but Czech stopped him, and fumbled into the path of Deco, wh slotted in the early goal.
Minutes later, the Czech republic tied thegame from a set piece, and the game stayed at 1-1 into the half.
In the second half, Ronaldo found some of his skills and was able to smack in a goal from just outside the box, with a stellar finish.
This was a much better performance from both sides, compared to their first games. The Czech Republic did look a lot better with Milan Baros on the field, rather than the aging Koller.
