In their Nations League A-Group 2 match on Saturday, Portugal easily defeated the Czech Republic 4-0 with goals from Bruno Fernandes (2), Diego Dalot (2), and Diogo Jota.
With Switzerland losing 2-1 to visitors, the result sets up a crucial match for the Portuguese against Spain at home on Tuesday. Spain knows a draw will be enough to get to the semifinals.
With one game remaining, Portugal has a 10-point advantage over Spain in the group after five matches.
“It’s a unique feeling to be able to help my country,” said Dalot. “We knew it could be a difficult game if we hadn’t started with the right attitude.
“We started the game very well, controlling the ball, and after the goals the spaces started to open up a little… Congratulations to everyone, we really deserved this victory and now it’s time to recharge our batteries.”
