Football: Czechs draw with Denmark in away friendly

Jan Koller scored to salvage a 1-1 draw for the Czech Republic against Denmark in an international friendly on Wednesday. Koller, the all-time leading Czech scorer, headed in the equalizer in the 42nd minute off a cross from Libor Sionko from the right. It was his 52nd goal in 86 games for his country. The Czechs were yet to win an international this year going into this match, and had lost to Poland 2-0 in a friendly last month. The Czechs will now play two more friendliest in Prague – against Lithuania and Scotland in May – before opening Euro 2008 on June 7 in Basel against Switzerland. They also face Turkey and Portugal in Group A of the tournament.
