da winzada777： GOAL rates all of the Portugal players on show as Roberto Martinez's substitutes combined to secure a dramatic late win in Leipzig

da 888casino： For a long, long time, this didn't look like it was going to be Portugal's night – or Cristiano Ronaldo's for that matter. The Selecao skipper had squandered two gilt-edged first-half opportunities before Czech Republic took the lead completely against the run of play courtesy of Lukas Provod's sweet shot from outside the area.

Then, after Portugal had been gifted an equaliser by a farcical and wholly avoidable own goal from Robin Hrnac (his goalkeeper Jindrich Stanek had inexplicably pushed a weak downward header into a crowded six-yard box), Ronaldo then had the misfortune to stray every so slightly offside before hitting the post with a header that Diogo Jota nodded home.

However, as the game entered injury time, two subs combined to score the winner, with Francisco Conceicao slotting home Pedro Neto's deflected cross to give an unimpressive Portugal and a misfiring Ronaldo a 2-1 victory they did not deserve.

Below, GOAL rates all of the Selecao players on show in Leipzig…

Getty Goalkeeper & Defence

Diogo Costa (6/10):

Given absolutely nothing to do before having to pick the ball out of the net after being beaten by Provod's fine strike.

Ruben Dias (6/10):

So untroubled by the Czech attack that he just focused on attacking. He even put over a great cross at one point.

Pepe (6/10):

Age not really an issue for the 41-year-old as he was given an armchair ride by Dias and Mendes but he did win plenty of possession for Portugal.

Nuno Mendes (7/10):

One of Portugal's few impressive performers. The versatile Paris Saint-Germain defender was heavily involved even before he forced the equaliser with his back-post header.

Diogo Dalot (4/10):

Finished the season strongly for Manchester United but just didn't offer enough penetration down the right flank. Unsurprisingly hauled off just after the hour mark.

Bruno Fernandes (7/10):

Not at his very best but still displayed far more vision and creativity than many of his team-mates. The pass he played through to Ronaldo during the first half demanded a successful finish.

Vitinha (7/10):

Provided the platform that allowed Portugal to dominate possession, while also creating a couple of good chances and testing Stanek with a decent long-range effort.

Joao Cancelo (5/10):

The wing-back role in such an offensive team enjoying so much possession should have suited his attributes down to the ground, but he contributed little from the left-hand side.

Getty Attack

Bernardo Silva (5/10):

Buzzed about the box in typically menacing fashion but his final ball wasn't great for once. Portugal needed more from such a gifted player.

Cristiano Ronaldo (5/10):

He might not do much work but his job is to be the focal point of the attack and the 39-year-old was unquestionably his side's biggest threat throughout. However, he made a mess of one early header you would have expected him to bury before wasting Bruno's glorious through-ball.

Rafael Leao (4/10):

A real livewire during the first quarter of the game, causing all sorts of problems with his pace and dribbling skills, but he did little thereafter – other than getting booked before being hooked in the 63rd minute.

Getty Subs & Goalkeeper

Diogo Jota (5/10):

Came on for Leao as soon as the Czechs scored and thought he'd scored the winner only to see his header chalked off because Ronaldo was offside.

Goncalo Inacio (5/10):

Replaced Dalot in the 63rd minute but failed to impact the game.

Nelson Semedo (N/A):

Introduced late on.

Pedro Neto (7/10):

Only came on in the final minute of normal time but made an immediate impact, with his break down the left wing leading to the winner.

Francisco Conceicao (6/10):

Won the game for Portugal with his injury-time tap-in.

Roberto Martinez (6/10):

The Spaniard deserves great credit for reacting to the concession of a goal by making a series of positive substitutions – one of which decided the game in his side's favour. But the late drama will not disguise the fact that Portugal performed poorly for an hour. Nor will it put an end to people wondering if the former Belgium boss is really the right manager to get the best out of this great group of players.
