In A Nutshell: Spain Is Notorious For Its Procrastination.
With just four minutes played, the hosts had already taken the lead thanks to Jan Kuchta’s goal when he evaded the offside trap and found Jakub Peek.
Despite Spain’s dominance in the second half, it wasn’t until stoppage time that Gavi grabbed Rodri’s pass and slid the ball into the far corner to equalize.
When Marco Asensio’s effort hit the post, his team was startled to see Kuchta go through and superbly chip in the rebound to regain their advantage.

Collaboration and unwavering dedication were necessary for the Czech Republic to achieve another outstanding outcome. They put in a lot of effort on defense and scored two gorgeous goals; Kutcha’s deft finish is another classic chip in the annals of the nation’s history. Spain made a concerted effort despite falling twice and only scoring twice, one goal late in each half. On a night in Prague that will not soon be forgotten, they hit the woodwork twice, so the Czech forecasts about the need for a little luck came very close to coming true.
