Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo opened the scoring with a powerful dry shot (1-0, 33') before Valencia winger Gonçalo Guedes made the break shortly after by crossing his shot (2- 0.38e).
The Portuguese initially experienced difficulties in finding the solution and concretizing their domination against a Czech block well grouped in defense.
Only Cristiano Ronaldo framed a strike from the Lusitanian side in the first half hour, but his attempt was too crushed (10th).
Then the 2016 European champions moved up a gear.
Cancelo asked Bernardo Silva on the right side who gave him the ball in the race in full surface: the side then fired a powerful shot to score the first goal, 100% made in Manchester City (1-0, 33rd).
Five minutes later, Bernardo Silva, again him, launched Gonçalo Guedes in depth, the former Paris Saint-Germain player subtly crossing his shot from the right to give air to his team (2-0, 38th) .
Cristiano Ronaldo could have scored just before the break, the ball stung by the five-time Ballon d'Or ending just above (45th + 1).
Back from the locker room, the Portuguese managed their advantage by setting a low pace to the game.
Diogo Jota tried to add a third goal but the heavy strike from the Liverpool striker was released by the Czech goalkeeper, Jindrich Stanek, author of a fine save (61st).
