The Czech Republic lived up to their billing by beating Ukraine 2-1 with captain Borek Dockal sparkling with a brace. Dockal's double was also good news for the anti-smoking brigade as his Dad promised to quit if his son scored during the tournament!
Beating the Ukraine extended the Czech Republic's unbeaten run at this level after they qualified with a W10 D1 L0 record. Taking on the tournament favourites Spain will be a real test with the bookies pricing anoth! er Czech win @ 4.60.
Spain were vastly superior against England in their opener but were hit with a late goal. Now Luis Milla's team must win if they are to live up their hype as the nation most likely to leave Denmark with the Euro Under 21 crown.
Following their weekend draw the Spanish team relaxed at a spa in Herning. Rather like their senior side it was no surprise that Spain dominated possession against England but unlike the World Cup winners lacked the crucial instinct to wrap up the points.
They will need to do rather better against a Czech team who leaked only five goals in ten qualifying games.
