Bernardo Silva 2024 UEFA European Championships Group Stage Match Worn Shirt

This home Portugal National Team shirt was worn by Bernardo Silva on June 18, 2024, when Portugal played Czechia in the first group-stage match of the UEFA Euro 2024. Portugal secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Czechia.

The match began with Portugal dominating possession but struggling to break down Czechia’s well-organized defense. Despite creating several chances, including a close-range shot from Cristiano Ronaldo that was saved by Czech goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek, Portugal couldn’t find the breakthrough in the first half. 

The game took a surprising turn in the 62nd minute when Czechia took the lead. Lukas Provod unleashed a stunning first-time strike from outside the box, curling the ball into the top corner to give the Czechs a 1-0 advantage. However, Portugal responded swiftly, equalizing in the 69th minute thanks to an own goal.

With both teams pushing for a winner, the drama peaked in the 92nd minute. Substitute Francisco Conceição, just two minutes after coming on, scored the decisive goal. He latched onto a deflected cross from Pedro Neto and tapped it in from close range, securing a dramatic 2-1 win for Portugal.
