Czech Republic resist to Brazil and reach the semi-finals

img

Czech Republic and Brazil shared the spoils after their last group game of the Tournament (0-0). Thanks to this result, Czech Republic qualify for the semi-finals. Brazil are out of the competition.

During the first half, none of both teams got any real occasion. Despite that, the game was very intense. Both team were certainly attentive to each other, because of the importance of the game. Czech players had the ball possession during that Group C final, but didn’t succeed to be very dangerous. South American side had the same difficulties, but they finally had some chances during the second half. The were dangerous twice before the 60th minute : Fabricio Oya (BRA/10) on a first longshot, and then Juninho (BRA/9) hit the post, also with a longshot. At the end of the game Brazil still didn’t come close to their opponent’s goal, so did Czech players.

With this draw, Brazilians are eliminated, and Czech Republic goes to semi-finals, on which they will face Ivory Coast. Scotland is also qualified as "best second" of the group phase and will play a promising and exciting game against England.
