The only scorer was Raheem Sterling.
Gareth Southgate’s students did not miss a goal during the first leg. Admittedly, they themselves were only accurate twice: on both counts, it was R. Sterling.
England, Croatia and the Czech Republic entered the playoffs in this group.
Tuesday’s game missed two England players, Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell, who contacted Scottish footballer Billy Gilmour, sick with COVID-19, and found themselves in forced self-isolation.
Match progress:
The starting line-up of the Czech national team: Vaclikas, Coufalas, Čelustka, Kalas, Borilas, Holešas, Součekas, Masopustas, Darida, Jankto, Schickas.
England starting line-up: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw, Phillips, Rice, Saka, Grealish, Sterling, Kane.
Raheem Sterling, who had already received a great pass in 2 minutes, jumped alone against his opponent’s goalkeeper Tomašas Vaclikas and threw the ball at him, but it hit the crossbar.

In the middle of the half, Harry Kane, who was on the brink of attack, had a good chance and his attempt was blocked closely by T. Vaclik.
35 min. The Czechs managed to equalize the score, but Tomasz Souček fired from the happy side to the side.
The first half ended with the English leading 1: 0.

The second half started cautiously and there were no extremely dangerous episodes created in its first twenty minutes.
This result seemed to satisfy both teams as neither of them was willing to take the risk.
75 min. The Czech footballers lifted the corner, but the English defended cleanly.
83 min. To change the numbers on the scoreboard he tried Thomas Pekhart. Still, his punch swirled nearby.
Throughout the second half, the English never resisted their opponents and celebrated the victory 1: 0.

Czech forward Patrick Schick, who has made three appearances, shares the tournament’s most successful player title alongside Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo.
Two pairs of eight finals are already known: Italy-Austria and Wales-Denmark.
Interestingly, the British also faced the Czechs in the arsenal of Euro 2020. The teams then shared the victory at home: 5: 0 in London and 2: 1 in Prague.
