5 talking points from Portugal's win

Our very own Mark Jones was in Leipzig tonight watching Portugal edge past the Czech Republic.

Here are his five talking points.

FULL-TIME: Portugal 2-1 Czech Republic

And breathe for Portugal!

Roberto Martinez's side have got the three points but it should've been so much more comfortable.

Cristiano Ronaldo and co missed a hoard of chances, but it's the result that matters.

Francisco Conceicao is the hero.

GOAL: Portugal 2-1 Czech Republic (Conceicao)

He's been on the pitch for two minutes but Francisco Conceicao has surely won it for Portugal!

Fellow substitute Pedro Neto created the goal as his low delivery wasn't dealt with by Robin Hranac.

A nightmare evening Hranac, who scored the own goal to make it 1-1 after the Czechs took the lead.

Two minutes remaining...

Portugal score - but it's ruled out

Diogo Jota thought he'd been the super sub but it's offside!

Cristinao Ronaldo rattled the post with a header and Jota was there to head in the rebound.

But VAR quicky ruled that Ronaldo was inches offside.

GOAL: Portugal 1-1 Czech Republic (own goal)

Their lead didn't last long!

Bernardo Silva's cross found Nuno Mendes and his header was saved but cannoned in off of the unlucky Robin Hranac.

GOAL: Portugal 0-1 Czech Republic (Provod)

WOW.

It's 1-0 to the Czechs!

Totally against the run of play, a cross is swung in but only half cleared and eventually falls to Lukas Provod, who fires past Diogo Costa in style.

Second half begins

The Czech Republic get us back underway in their clash with Portugal.

No goals in the first half - are we on for our first 0-0 of the tournament?

Portugal dominating

But the Czech Republic are getting a sniff...

Tonight's underdogs have had a few sights at goal on the counter, although nothing to trouble Portugal goalkeeper Diogo Costa.

Cristiano Ronaldo flashed a header wide with his first touch and Ruben Dias had a thunderous effort blocked.

Oh, and it's pouring down.

KICK-OFF: Portugal 0-0 Czech Republic

And we're off!

Today's second and final Euro 2024 fixture is underway in Leipzig.

Guler's rocket breaks Euro record

Arda Guler has become the youngest player to score on his European Championship debut at 19 years and 114 days old.

That beats Cristiano Ronaldo's previous record of 19 years and 128 days which he set in 2004.

But Ronaldo is about to become a record-breaker once again when he steps foot on the turf in Leipzig and plays at his SIXTH Euro.

Experience in abundance for Portugal

At 39 and 41 respectively, Cristiano Ronaldo are both in Portugal's starting line-up.

The pair were part of their famous Euro 2016-winning team and are aiming to lift the trophy again under Roberto Martinez after winning all 10 of their qualifiying matches.

Ronaldo starts in Portugal opener

Cristiano Ronaldo fever has descened on Leipzig, with the megastar taking part in his SIXTH European Championship.

Kick-off is at 8pm.

CONFIRMED: Portugal vs Czech Republic team news

Portugal XI: Costa; Cancelo, Pepe, Dias, Dalot, Mendes; Vitinha, Fernandes; Bernardo, Ronaldo, Leao

Czech Republic XI: Stanek; Coufal, Hranac, Krejci, Holes; Soucek, Provod, Sulc; Doudera, Schick, Kuchta

FULL-TIME: Turkey 3-1 Georgia

What an effort from Georgia - Turkey will be so relieved to get the win.

Two cracking strikes from Mert Muldur and Arda Guler either side of an equaliser from Georges Mikautadze made the difference before Kerem Akturkoglu clinched it deep into added time.

Next up: Portugal against the Czech Republic.

GOAL: Turkey 3-1 Georgia (Akturkoglu)

And that's it!

Georgia hit the post, missed a sitter and had a goal-bound shot brilliantly blocked but it's Turkey who grab the late goal.

Kerem Akturkoglu slotted into an empty net after Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili went up for a corner.

GOAL: Turkey 2-1 Georgia (Guler)

Turkey only score bangers!

Arda Guler of Real Madrid has just put them back ahead with a sumptuous strike from 25 yards.

The 19-year-old is some talent.

Second half underway

Here we go for another 45 minutes in Dortmund.

It's still 1-1 after Georgia's Georges Mikautadze cancelled out a cracking volley from Turkey right-back Mert Moldur.

GOAL: Turkey 1-1 Georgia (Mikautadze)

Georgia are level!

A lovely patient attacking move finished off by striker Georges Mikautadze.

That's Georgia's first ever goal in an international tournament!

Goal ruled out by VAR

Turkey thought they'd immediately made it 2-0 but no!

Kenan Yildiz taped home but the Juventus prospect was offside when he received a flick-on from his team-mate.

VAR quickly intervened.

GOAL: Turkey 1-0 Georgia (Muldur)

What a strike!

Right-back Mert Muldur rockets in a volley from the edge of the box to give Turkey the lead.

Their fans are going wild - and so they should.

Lively start in Dortmund

End-to-end stuff so far - Georgia don't look afraid.

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is causing Turkey problems with his smooth dribbling but Georgia goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili has been kept busy at the other end.

Turkey's Kaan Ayhan rattled the post with a shot in the 10th minute but it remains 0-0.

KICK-OFF: Turkey 0-0 Georgia

After a stirring pair of national anthems, we're underway.

Will there be another upset as favourites Turkey take on the tournament's lowest-ranked team in Georgia?

Giroud to miss France training

Olivier Giroud is expected to sit out training after suffering a minor abductor injury during France's 1-0 win against Austria last night.

RMC Sport add that the 37-year-old striker, who only came on for nine minutes, should be back in training tomorrow.

France face the Netherlands on Friday in Leipzig but are set to be without captain Kylian Mbappe due to his broken nose.

All aboard the Beeb

The BBC will broadcast both of tonight's matches, starting with Turkey against Georgia at 5pm before Portugal's clash with the Czech Republic in the 8pm kick-off.

Rain easing in Dortmund

It's getting dier in Dortmund with 45 minutes until kick-off.

The game between Turkey and Georgia is set to go ahead.

BREAKING: Turkey vs Georgia at risk of postponement

Turkey's match against Georgia could be postponed following violent clashes between the two sets of supporters at Westfalenstadion and torrential rain.

The match is scheduled to take place at 5pm on Tuesday at Borussia Dortmund's stadium, but the build-up has turned chaotic. Water is pouring from the roof following heavy rain, while the fans have clashes inside the stadium, meaning a decision needs to be taken by UEFA.
