Sivok’s critical goal for Czechs

A late header from Tomas Sivok saw the Czech Republic put one foot in the Euro 2012 finals with victory over Montenegro in the first leg of their qualifying play-off.

The Czechs held a narrow lead after Vaclav Pilar’s 63rd minute goal but Sivok’s goal in injury-time gives them a clear advantage going into the second leg.

The hosts were enjoying the better of the chances early on and Bozovic could only parry a free-kick from Daniel Pudil before doing a better job with another shot from the same man moments later.
