Støe?tík sparks Czech rout
Wednesday 17 October 2007Match report by Ladislav Josef
Marek Støe?tík, Tomá? Pekhart and Jiøí Jeslínek were
all on target as the Czech Republic beat Armenia in
Kladno to claim a third successive victory and set up
a pivotal Group 2 meeting with Turkey next month.
Jeslínek influence
The Czechs began their 2009 UEFA European Under-21
Championship campaign with a disappointing 1-1 draw
against Armenia last month but there was to be no
repeat on home turf. Støe?tík broke the deadlock on
two minutes and they were soon strolling when debutant
Jeslínek, whose father won one senior cap in 1985,
rounded the goalkeeper to make it 2-0. Jeslínek turned
provider just before the half-hour, his cross being
headed in by Tottenham Hotspur FC striker Pekhart to
ensure there was no way back for Armenia.
