In the first half, Ronaldo had a chance to score, but Stanek's block prevented Portugal from taking the lead. Although the Portuguese star did not score, he was a constant threat in the box and performed well, achieving 100 percent pass accuracy.

The Al-Nassr player nearly assisted another goal when his header deflected to Diogo Jota, but Ronaldo was just offside.

This match against the Czech Republic marked a significant milestone for Ronaldo, as he became the first player in history to participate in six different editions of the Euros. Ronaldo first appeared in the Euros in 2004, where Portugal finished as runners-up.

Since then, he has been Portugal's key player in the competition, holding the records for the most appearances and goals in the tournament's history. Portugal's next match is against Turkey on June 22, who also started with a 2-1 win against Georgia.
