On June 19th, Portugal defeated the Czech Republic 2-1 in their first match of the European Championship Group F. After the game, Vítinha was named the Man of the Match for Portugal.
Vítinha started the match and was replaced by Neto in the 90th minute. He showed great energy on both ends of the pitch, managing 3 shots, 2 on target, 91 passes with 86 successful passes for a 94.5% success rate, 2 key passes, 6 successful duels and 2 successful tackles.
In the 69th minute, Vítinha’s diagonal pass found Mendes, who headed towards goal but was saved by the goalkeeper. However, the save created confusion in the Czech penalty area and ultimately led to a mistake by Hrána, who inadvertently sent the ball into his own net. This quickly levelled the score at 1-1.
The 24-year-old Vítinha has now spent two seasons with Paris Saint-Germain, becoming a key part of the midfield. He continues to perform at a high level on the European stage.
