On June 27, 2021, the Czech Republic pulled off a stunning 2-0 victory over 10-man Netherlands in their European Championship last-16 clash at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.
Striker Patrik Schick scored his fourth goal of the tournament, while Tomas Holes headed in the opening goal in the 68th minute after Tomas Kalas had steered the ball into his path.
The Dutch challenge was dealt a blow on 55 minutes when centre back Matthijs De Ligt received a red card for a handball just outside his own box, a decision that was initially given as a yellow card but later changed after a Video Assistant Referee check.
The Czechs created the better chances against their more fancied opponents in the frenzied atmosphere and booked a quarter-final meeting with Denmark in Baku on Saturday.
