Czech Republic vs Netherlands 2 - 0, they stun 10 man Netherlands to make Euros 2020 quarterfinals.
The Czech Republic beat the Netherlands 2-0 impressively, reaching the 2020 European quarter-finals on Sunday.
Thomas Hols and Patrick Schick scored in the second half next Saturday, playing with Denmark in Baku.
The Netherlands faced a tough battle after Matisse de Liggett won a straight red card for refusing to score goals earlier in the second half.
The Czechs have played in the last eight games for the first time since UEFA Euro 2012.
Of course, it feels terrible. an emotional Dligett told NOS TV after the game. Because of what I did, we basically lost the game.
In hindsight, I shouldn't let the ball bounce. Before that, we took control of it. I feel responsible.
This is a tragic outcome for the Netherlands, which participated in the first knockout match since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
This is the beginning of a slow game. When Thomas Susek's diving header passed the post for 23 minutes, the Czechs had the first chance.
34 minutes later, the Czechs had a greater chance, but Dligett made an amazing stop to deny Lucas Masopster close range.
Just before the break, when Memphis Deppe discovered that Patrick Van Anholt was in the region, the Netherlands almost stole the lead, but he failed to find a target.
Donjell Mullen had an excellent chance to announce the opening of the score in the second half, but he could not bypass Czech goalkeeper Thomas Vaklik.
After a long VAR examination, the Netherlands found that he had 10 men. He judged that de Liggett deprived Schick of the chance to play handball outside the penalty area.
This is the first time that Dutch players have shown a red card in the European Cup since John Heddinga played against the Czechs in 2004.
68 minutes later, Thomas Carras took the lead in setting Hols to score in the defender position at the end of the free kick.
With only 10 minutes left, the Czechs launched a counterattack, and Hols established Schick from the box to convert.
Horres said they were the favorites of the game, and it was an unreal feeling to beat such a team 2-0.
They perform better in the ball, we struggle, but because of our team performance, we don't give them much space.
