In a rematch of a thrilling 2016 UEFA European Championship quarterfinal, Portugal travels to Poland to face their rivals on Matchday Two of the newly inaugurated UEFA Nations League competition — a complex tournament designed to replace the often lackluster parade of international friendly matches between major European competitions, according to an ESPN explanation. The Poland-Portugal match highlights the first day of the second round of Nations League matches and will live stream from Poland on Thursday.

Two years ago, Portugal needed penalty kicks to send Poland packing from the Euros, as UEFA.com records, after Robert Lewandowski got Poland off to a fast start with a goal in the second minute — only to see the lead canceled by Portugal’s then-teenage sensation Renato Sanches just 31 minutes later. But the Portuguese prevailed 5-3 in a shootout and went on to win the European title, which they currently hold.
But Portugal will have to get past Poland this time without superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who has been held out of the match as well as a friendly this weekend against Scotland as he contends with rape allegations in the United States, according to Time Magazine .
