Wales – Czechia 1: 1, Draw. Did Goodbye say goodbye in Wales?

Cardiff (from our newsletter) – In his charges, after the Swedish disappointment, he tried to awaken the motivation for an unimportant duel in Wales. As expected, he gave less busy players a chance, the basic line-up underwent five changes compared to Sweden. Goalkeeper Staněk, defenders Petrášek and Zelený, midfielders Lingr and Pešek appeared in it. The forward Jureček then made his debut after the break.

The Czechs started solidly, Kuchta headed dangerously. Goalkeeper Hennessey, for whom Tuesday’s duel was the 100th anniversary of the national team, caught his attempt. However, the striker of the Otter from Burnley was helpless against the blow of Souček from the 32nd minute. But the guests kept the lead for barely two minutes, after a quick action Colwill equalized. Vaulks fired the pole.

In the second half, the fresh thirty-three Vaclík went off the plan, replacing the injured Staňek. The Pilsen number one came to a halt after a collision with Matond, who hit him in the head. His start in Sunday’s league hit with Slavia is a question mark. The midfielder of the red and white Shrovetide is almost certain, after a break without help he could not leave the lawn.

Wales, who, with the exception of Hennessey, played in a completely new composition compared to Thursday’s winning play-off with the Austrians, flooded the guests from the beginning of the second half. Vaclík had to turn properly. Souček could then return the lead to the Czechs, but he fired only weakly in a good position.

The stellar Bale ran to the pitch for the final ten minutes, and the spectators welcomed Austria to both players with a standing ovation. But even the Welsh jewel did not change anything. And the Czechs defeated Wales only once in a separate history, 16 years ago.
