Teams' attack works better than defense. But the middle line also allows you to play both in attack and to try to defend well. Both teams will attack.
Euro2020 first half review: Netherlands - Czech Republic
As expected, both teams started the match as actively as possible. The Czech Republic already in the 2nd minute organizes the first blow. Cholesh misses the target. At the 8th minute, Depay responds with his inaccurate shot. He was unable to accurately break through from a very advantageous position.
In the first 15 minutes, the Netherlands were more active in attack. True, without strikes on goal. During this period of time, Depay was particularly active.
Oddly enough, judging by the first 20 minutes, it is the Czech Republic that once again pushes towards the goal. This time Souchek was active. Already on the 28th minute, Schick shoots into the goal, which is defended by Stekelenburg.
At the 31st minute Malen shoots, but again the Czechs block the shot. It was a great picture of what happened in the first half. The half was gradually approaching its logical end. The arbiter added 3 minutes.
On 45 + 2 minutes, Van Anhold shoots, but misses again. As a result, the teams made 5 shots in the direction of the goal. On target was recorded only 1 hit for two. This active action was noted by the Czechs. The Netherlands has a corner advantage: 6 - 2. First half result: 0 - 0.
Euro2020 second half review: Netherlands - Czech Republic
The beginning of the second half did not bode well for anything extraordinary. But on 52 minutes Malen, going 1 on 1 with Vaclik, could not beat the goalkeeper. Immediately the Czech Republic launched a counterattack. De Ligt falls down near the box. During the fall he plays with his hand. Karasev stops the match, assigns a free kick. Immediately showed a yellow card. But they began to revise the replays. The arbiter went to watch TV himself. As a result, he got a red card instead of a yellow one. The Dutch were left in the minority.
This led to the fact that already in the 60th minute Shik shoots past. On the 61st minute, Karasev again turns to VAR. This time the Czechs tried to prove that Dumfries played with his hand in the penalty area. But, the Russian referee did not fall for the persuasion of the Czech national team players.
On the 64th minute, Katerzhabik shot, in fact, into an empty net, since the goalkeeper has already been played. This time the same Dumfries played successfully. He blocks a dangerous blow from the Czech.
As a result, on 68 minutes the Czech Republic scores. Cholesh opens an account. But playing in the minority is always difficult. It is not surprising that the Netherlands are allowed to pass. At the 78th minute, first Soucek, and then Masopust hit the goal of the Netherlands. On the 80th, the Netherlands missed the second. Schick scores and makes the score: 0 - 2. Apparently, the Dutch confusion turned out to be decisive. And physics was not enough.
The arbiter added 6 minutes. As expected, the Czech Republic did not miss the victory. They didn't even give the ball to the Netherlands in the last minutes of the meeting. Match result: 0 - 2.
In the second half, Holland struck only 1 shot towards the opponent's goal. As a result, it turned out that for the whole match they never hit the target. The Czech Republic struck 12 shots to the side and 5 shots on target during the match. The result is natural. The Netherlands is not ready for serious tournaments!
