He’s been an integral part of how we’ve played recently. I wouldn’t be getting overexcited about it. Scotland coach Steve Clarke said he was hopeful that Tierney would be ready for the team’s next Group D match against England on Friday in London. Scotland defender Kieran Tierney was sidelined for the match after picking up a minor injury in training this week. The home team was fired up by the 12,000 fans at Hampden Park, but it wasn’t enough. The Czechs started gaining a foothold as the first half wore on, with Schick forcing a save in the 16th with a near-post effort that was palmed away by Marshall. Midfielder John McGinn had a good chance to score in the sixth minute, but his effort was deflected out for a corner. Scotland started well, getting the ball up the field into crossing positions. We didn’t work enough to get behind them in the first half. Just the way the game panned out, both teams nullified each other for the first 45 minutes. It was quite a tense first half, not a lot of space. “We played some good stuff, could have been a little braver on the ball first-half. We didn’t come here to learn but you still have to lean your lessons and take your chances when they present themselves, make sure you stay in the game and get something from it. When we had our chances, we didn’t quite take them. Losing a goal off a second-phase set-play was disappointing and the boy’s had a wonderful strike from a shot from Jack Hendry that fell perfectly for him. “It was quite an even game, not much in it,” said Clarke. Scotland head coach Steve Clarke called the game a “good learning experience,” but was annoyed at the way in which Schick scored from a Scotland chance. The Czech Republic took the lead in Group D with three points and spoiled the party for Scotland, which was returning to a major men’s football tournament for the first time since the 1998 World Cup. It was an excellent finish that came from an equally outstanding cross from right back Vladimir Coufal. Schick had earlier given the Czechs the lead in the 42nd minute with a powerful header after muscling himself between two Scotland defenders. Schick and the other Czech players ran toward the corner of Hampden Park where a few dozen Czech fans erupted in celebration. “I took a look to see where he was standing and he was pretty high. “There was a deflected ball,” Schick said. Marshall gave chase, but he could only watch the ball sail into the goal before he ended up tangled in the net. The Bayern Leverkusen forward looked up and spotted opposing goalkeeper David Marshall way off his line before hitting a long, curling shot that didn’t touch the floor before ending up in the goal. Scotland lost possession when a shot was blocked and the ball fell to Schick. But it was his second goal that will be talked about for years to come. Schick scored both goals for the Czech Republic today in a 2-0 victory over Scotland. THE CHESS MASTER CALLED GAME ♟️ SCHICK spotted the goalkeeper off his line, launched a looping shot from just inside the halfway line and gave his team a two-goal lead it wouldn’t relinquish. □ /StZ5SptX5pĪlbert Rusnák makes it 1-0! □ #SEAvMIN /flGfaB2k4S □ /3J0AZq80SrĪ gift for all of us on birthday.
