        COTTERILL Joel Leigh replaces COLWILL Rubin

      10. A quick counter-attack from Cymru as Hammond picks up the ball on the edge of his own area and sends Thomas one-on-one with the Czech goalkeeper, who does well to push the ball behind for a corner.

      11. Brilliant work from Jones as he somehow manages to keep the ball in on the byline. He hits the ball across the face of goal to Beck, who just can’t manage to direct the ball on target from a tight angle.

        MARTIN SUCHOMEL

      16. Brilliant work from Beck as he goes past two defenders and then turns another in the area before forcing a save out of the Czechia goalkeeper to win Cymru a corner. A positive start to the second half for Matty Jones’ side.

      17. Half time verdict: Czechia dominated the possession and shot count throughout the first half and will be disappointed that they were unable to convert one of their opportunities. Beach has been kept busy in the Cymru goal, while Harris enjoyed the best chance of the half when he found space in the penalty area at the end of the first half. There is work to do in the second half but Cymru are still in the game.

      18. Cymru’s best chance of the half arrives in stoppage time as the ball falls to Harris at the back post and he forces the first save of the evening out of Hornicek.

      25. Yellow card

        DANIEL FILA

      26. A chance for Cymru as Beck slips the ball forward to Thomas, who shoots wide of the target before the flag goes up for offside.

      27. Another opportunity for Czechia as Karabec catches the ball sweetly from a corner and fires a powerful shot towards goal which is parried away by Beach.

      28. The home crowd are off their feet as they think Vydra’s effort has put them ahead, but the ball ripples the side netting.

      29. A good move from the home sides sees Vydra drift into the penalty area but Bevan throws his body in the way of the shot to prevent it from troubling Beach.

      30. The first shot on target of the evening arrives as Fila’s low shot forces a save out of Beach.
