Portugal suffered a 2-0 defeat against North Korea in their opening match at the under-20 championship, held in the city of Lodz. The Portuguese national team failed to convert the opportunities created throughout the match.
The main problem for the Portuguese team was not the lack of ball possession, but rather the inability to finish dangerous plays. Despite controlling the game for long periods, the Portuguese players failed to convert their opportunities into goals.
The Portuguese side now faces two important challenges ahead in the group. The next opponents will be Colombia and Costa Rica, games that will be fundamental for the Portuguese team's ambitions in this under-20 competition.
