| Holland
draw 1-1 with Czech Republic |
29 Mar 2003
|
Although Holland
dominated the first half in their match against the Czech Republic, it took
until the 45th minute for Holland to finally take the lead after Ruud van
Nistlerooy, who had started off cold but got hotter as the match progressed,
headed in a Davids cross. Before Van Nistelrooy's half-time
stunner 'Oranje' created the best of the early chances, stringing together
some good moves in midfield in a continuation of the motivated performances
they've put on since Advocaat and Van Hanegem's arrival. Seedorf slammed a 25 meter
free-kick against the post and Van Nistelrooy (13th) and Van Bommel (14th)
saw shots saved.
In the 39th minute of the first half Ajax star Rafael van der Vaart came in
to replace injured Arsenal defender Van Bronckhorst. and Holland immediately
began to swing and was Van der Vaart's pass to Edgar Davids that was
the basis for Van Nistelrooy's goal.
The 2nd act was a scrappier affair with less to please the eye and although
Holland continued to dominate it was the Czech's who found the back of the
net after Koller rounded off substitue Baros's cross.
