His save against Dykes’ shot in the 66 th minute was one of the highlights, stretching his right leg to push the ball away for his defender to clear. Similar to Scotland, the Czech defence were way too open from the beginning, and they can feel lucky that no goals were scored, due to Scotland’s awful finishing alongside Vaclik’s superb display. (Image Courtesy: UEFA Euro 2020 / Twitter) Vaclik was immense for the Czech Republic against Scotland. Tomas Vaclik, however, was Czech Republic’s best player on the pitch after Patrick Schick, and his performance can be seen as one of major reasons why his side can go into the changing room with smiles on their faces. Particularly, his two saves in quick succession in the opening minute of the second half kept Scotland in the game but he was not able to parry Schick’s shot from the halfway line. (Image Courtesy: UEFA Euro 2020 / Twitter)Īlthough one of their attempts hit the crossbar and Czech Republic’s goalkeeper Tomáš Vaclík was having a great game, Scotland were very poor in converting their chances, particularly Lyndon Dykes, who could have, twice, bought the game back for his side and set up a pulsating end to the match.Īlthough the game ended 2-0 in favour of the Czech Republic, David Marshall of Scotland, along with Tomas Vaclik, had a great game in terms of their shot-stopping.Īpart from the two goals scored by Patrick Schick, which were of pure quality and him being let down by his defence, Marshall ended up with 5 saves, all of which were crucial as the Czech could have romped to an unassailable lead. Lyndon Dykes was poor in front of the goal for Scotland against the Czech Republic. Out of their 19 shots on goal, only four were on target, showing their inefficiency in finishing off the chances created. When compared to the quality shown by Patrick Schick in the scoring of goals, it was quite the opposite from the Scottish players as they were very poor in their finishing in front of the goal. Here are three key takeaways from the fixture: Scotland tried very hard to find the two goals, one of the shots even hitting the crossbar but were to no avail as the Czechs went ahead to pick up their win. Jack Hendry’s shot from distance was blocked which fell to the feet of Schick who romped forward a beautiful curler from the halfway line which ended up in the goal as Marshall was miles off his goal-line.

'I’ve changed clubs a lot so I never had time to feel settled. Speaking to The Independent earlier in the year, Schick insisted that he was happy at Leverkusen but warned that they would have to 'wait and see' about his summer plans. The Leverkusen forward, who is under contract until 2025 in Germany, has seemingly now found his feet following underwhelming spells at AS Roma and RB Leipzig, and the form he has discovered this season has led to speculation about his future, with Newcastle and Arsenal just two of the sides having been linked with the 25-year-old. □ □ /D8adMBO8Bo- Bundesliga English March 29, 2022 □ #Schick has been on □ this #Bundesliga season.
