Soccer / EURO 2008After a tense start, both the Turks and the Czechs went on the offensive, Tuncay pulling his 30-yard shot wide of Cech’s post. The industrious Libor Sionko fired a shot over the bar after cutting in from the right. In the 34th minute the Czechs scored by playing to their strengths, Grygera swung in a teasing cross and Jan Koller planted a header which Volkan couldn’t keep out. (First half highlights here.) Koller ran out of legs after breaking from the halfway line to charge down on goal with miserable results. But the Czechs scored their crucial second when Sionko, once again the provider, found Plasil who slid the ball home. The Turks put the cats amongst the pigeons when Arda Turan squeezed a shot past Cech with 15 minutes to go. The Czechs went desperately close to wrapping up the game when Polak’s effort hit the post. But it was Petr Cech who set up the Turkish equaliser, the Chelsea goalkeeper failed to hold on to a pretty tame cross from Altintop and Nihat nipped in to score. With the Czechs clearly shell-shocked, Nihat was put clean through to curl expertly past Cech to cap a comeback of epic proportions. In injury-time Volkan was sent-off for pushing Koller, and Tuncay went in goal for the remaining seconds of an incredible match.
