National team coach Jaroslav Šilhavý and his team can only be satisfied with the first of the two opening matches of the Euro 2024 qualification.
His team’s progress to the tournament in Germany seems realistic, but the goalless draw in Moldova robbed the Czechs of the great spirit they had gained after Friday’s home victory over the strong Poles.
The Czechs take only a point from the second match, they couldn’t give Moldova a goal.
See in our photo gallery how the four points from the opening two matches were born.

Team captain Tomáš Souček could not be satisfied – neither with his performance nor with the team’s.
Even Vladimír Coufal was not completely in his skin at the stadium in Chisinau.
At the same time, the Czech national football team’s start to the qualification was very successful. On Friday, the team won against Poland. On the picture from Eden, the basic line-up of the Czechs against the Poles.
The Czechs defended Robert Lewandowski (in a duel with Adam Hložek in the picture), but above all they surprised the opponent with an excellent offensive.

Coach Šilhavy can only be slightly satisfied after the first two matches – after three points against Poland, there was a loss against weak Moldova.
