Czech Republic and Croatia tie 2-2 in Euro 2016

Xinhua, June 18, 2016 Adjust font size:

Goals from Milan Skoda and Tomas Necid saved Czech Republic to draw 2-2 with Croatia in Euro 2016 Group D here on Friday.

Croatia's Ivan Perisic opened the scoring with a low drilled finish into the far corner after collecting a long pass from Milan Badelj in 37th minute, and his teammate Ivan Rakitic, played in Barcelona, extended the lead to 2-0 in the 59th minute.

Czech Republic didn't give up and strengthened the attack. Substitute Skoda pulled a goal back for the Czechs in the 75th minute with a header. Necid equalized by a penalty resulting from Domagoj Vida's handball.

The draw gave Croatia four points in Group D. They beat Turkey 1-0 last Sunday.

Czech Republic only got one point as they lost to Spain on Monday. Endit
