Portugal recorded their second straight UEFA Nations League victory as the Cristiano Ronaldo-led side eased to a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic on Thursday to continue their promising preparations for the Qatar World Cup 2022.
Two goals in five first-half minutes in Lisbon did the trick for the Portuguese team as Manchester City star Joao Cancelo and Goncalo Guedes steered them to all three points in Group A2. The result came after Fernando Santos' side registered an emphatic 4-0 win over Switzerland on Sunday.
