The meeting between the Czech Republic and Scotland, or perhaps the long-awaited European Championship itself, was decorated by a beautiful goal. In the 52nd minute of the match, Czech Republic striker Patrik Schick scored his second, and also the most beautiful goal of the match, with a fantastic shot from the center of the field. The player, asked to comment on his goal, along with the ball sent into the net and Scotland's goalkeeper David Marshall, said: "I saw where he was standing before his shot. In fact, I was watching him during the first half. I knew that there would come a moment when he would be far enough from his goal. Once I received the pass, I quickly glanced towards the goal and saw that he was far enough from his goal. Without hesitation, I decided to take advantage of it - as we all saw, I successfully did it." "Scotland was a tough opponent, but we were prepared for their tactical decisions against us. It was very important to win the first championship match, and now we need to think about the next ones. Croatia will be a strong opponent, with a slightly different game. We will prepare as best as possible and see what we can demonstrate," Schick concluded.
