Czech Republic came from behind to beat Scotland
Czech Republic beat Scotland (3-2) after a spectacular game in the group C at Stade d'Honneur of Salon-de-Provence. Czech Republic dominated the first half with a higher ball possession but the opening goal was scored by Scotland thanks to Oliver Burke, who won his face-to-face against Ruddy after a solo run (2'). Czech Republic levelled the scores at end of the first half by Chevja (35') and saw his domination rewarded.
The second half was rich in opportunites for both sides. Czech Republic took the advantage with Sasinka after a cross from Graiciar. With almost no opportunity, Scotland finally came back thanks to Burke who scored on a penalty. However, Graiciar put Czech Republic ahead again as he netted the third goal of his team on the hour mark (60').
