The Czechs tried to respond a few moments later by creating a chance in the sixteenth minute. Initially, Vladimir Darida's shot ended in a corner, and then defender Tomáš Sivok had a great chance to score, but his shot went wide. In the middle of the half, Pavel Kadeřábek had another chance on goal, and Volkan Babacan failed to disarm him from a distance in the 38th minute, and Jaroslav Plašil.
