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. 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 soccer tournament for the first time since the 1998 World Cup.
“We really haven’t seen a goal like that from the middle of the field in a long time.” “The second goal was something out of this world,” Šilhavý said.
Instead of assigning blame, sometimes you have to credit the goalscorer," Clarke said.Ĭzech Republic coach Jaroslav Šilhavý said Schick has been practicing long shots in training, and has tried to score from long range before. Scotland coach Steve Clarke didn't blame his goalkeeper for his positioning on Schick's second goal. Schick has now scored 13 goals from 27 appearances for Czech Republic, a rate of about a goal every other game. It was an excellent finish that came from an equally outstanding cross from right back Vladimír Coufal. Schick had earlier given the Czechs the lead in the 42nd minute with a powerful header after muscling himself between two Scotland defenders.
Souček later added on Twitter: “It’s clear we already have the goal of the tournament. “It’s a fairy tale to score such a goal," Czech Republic midfielder Tomáš Souček said. The previous record of 38.6 meters came from Germany midfielder Torsten Frings at Euro 2004. UEFA said it was the longest distance for a goal in the tournament at 49.7 meters.
