Czechs lose 0:2 to Spain in Nations League

The Czech National Football Team lost 0:2 to Spain at the La Rosadela stadium in Málaga on Sunday. Carlos Soler put the Spanish in the lead in the 24th minute. Pablo Sarabia then netted the second midway through the second half. Spain dominated the game in terms of possession.

After the game, Czech Republic’s coach Jaroslav Šilhavý, told Czech Television that his team had played a better match than in Prague the week before, when both teams drew 2:2. The team, according to Šilhavý, played braver, but could not make use of its chances. Spain’s manager Luis Enrique said that the Czechs showed over the past two games that they know how to defend and showed good physical strength.

The Czech Republic will next play Portugal and Switzerland in September. A good result against the Swiss side is key in maintaining the Czech position within the top segment of the Nations League tournament.
