Diogo Costa 6/10
PORTUGAL RATINGS: A spectator in the first half as the Czechs left him entirely untroubled. No chance for Provod’s goal - their only shot on target in the whole match.

Diogo Dalot 5/10
A very quiet first half. Needed to show more intent going forward and responded with a positive start to the second period, getting forward more and hitting a curling shot. Was substituted just after the hour for his troubles. APA very quiet first half.

Pepe 4/10
A fair few sloppy passes from the 41-year-old - one almost letting Provod in on goal. Below-par performance from the veteran. APA fair few sloppy passes from the 41-year-old - one almost letting Provod in on goal. Below-par performance from the veteran. AP -

Ruben Dias 6/10
Quietly efficient as always. Produced a brilliant defensive header to snuff out danger from a superb Coufal cross. Good cross for a Ronaldo header. Vital last-ditch block in the box late in the game.

Joao Cancelo 6/10

Bernardo Silva 8/10
Given a roaming brief to pop up all over the pitch. Great ball to free Fernandes, who put in a centre that Leao was inches from converting. His threat level stepped up markedly in the second half. Lovely ball into the danger zone that led to the own goal that drew Portugal level. AFPGiven a roaming brief to pop up all over the pitch.

Bruno Fernandes 7/10
His usual intelligent use of the ball, playing clever passes and seeing things others don't. Dipping shot just over the bar on 23 minutes. Beautiful threaded pass to set up a good chance for Ronaldo. Always probing for ways to hurt the opposition. AFPHis usual intelligent use of the ball, playing clever passes and seeing things others don't. Dipping shot just over the bar on 23 minutes.

Vitinha 7/10
Another who was given free rein to wander within a very fluid set-up. Must have covered every blade of grass. A very lively contribution: playing sharp passes, showing good movement and tackling back when required. Lovely square ball to tee up a Cancelo shot.

Nuno Mendes 6/10
Hit a speculative long-range shot when he'd have been better passing the ball. Leapt well to win the header that led to the equaliser. AFPHit a speculative long-range shot when he'd have been better passing the ball. Leapt well to win the header that led to the equaliser. AFP -

Cristiano Ronaldo 6/10
A nearly night for the great man. Had plenty of chances but lacked his usual lethal touch - although bad luck played its part. Was marginally offside when he rose brilliantly at the back post to hit the upright with a driving header that Jota nodded home before it was chalked off. It summed up his night. He was not quite on his A game but he didn't get the breaks either. AFPA nearly night for the great man. Had plenty of chances but lacked his usual lethal touch - although bad luck played its part.

Rafael Leao 6/10
Great pressing to win the ball and create an early chance for Ronaldo. He will loom large in Coufal's nightmares. He beat the right-back almost at will but didn’t quite deliver enough end product.

Jindrich Stanek 5/10
Came out smartly to make a fantastic one-handed save to deny Ronaldo. Another good save from Ronaldo just before half time. Equal to everything until his terrible blunder to palm the ball against Hranac to cause the own goal for Portugal's equaliser. Should have caught the ball, despite the wet conditions.

Tomas Holes 6/10

Robin Hranac 6/10
An excellent performance marred by some late misfortune. Inexperienced but he showed plenty of savvy and composure. Stole the ball from Vitinha as he burst into the box.

A mixed bag to say the least. Given the cold sweats by the raw pace of Leao, who provoked a severe case of the jitters in the West Ham man. He gave ball away frequently in defence but produced some excellent crosses going forward. A night he will want to forget overall, though. ReutersA mixed bag to say the least.
