Scotland will rue a blatant scenario of play-acting, as nicely as an incorrect refereeing decision, as their hopes of a perform-off location for Euro 2012 all but evaporated at Hampden Park.
The Czech Republic have been handed a final-minute penalty right after their substitute, Jan Rezek, clearly dived when challenged by Danny Wilson.
Moments later, in a comparable incident, Scotland's Christophe Berra was booked for a fall in the Czech penalty place. Michal Kadlec's successful penalty had proved pivotal, as had the steps of both Rezek and the Dutch referee Kevin Blom.
Even with keeping a recreation in hand, Scotland are five factors adrift of the Czechs in Group I. A draw was almost certainly a fair consequence here, but Scotland have genuine result in to really feel aggrieved it will just take a minimal wonder for them to overhaul the Czech Republic now.
The captain Darren Fletcher had sent Hampden into raptures right after 82 minutes, his objective from Kenny Miller's pass apparently trying to keep Scottish hopes of a first main finals physical appearance given that 1998 alive.
Scotland had lead to to ponder how on earth they had earned a fifty percent-time lead. Miller claimed the opening aim – aided in no little element by the visiting goalkeeper Jan Lastuvka – right after being played in by Fletcher.
Before that, Milan Baros had by some means blasted over the Scotland bar from six yards. Charlie Adam was also really fortunate not to concede a penalty when standing on Baros's foot.
Miller's strike prompted a promising commence to the second interval from the hosts. No aim, which proved harmful, was forthcoming in the course of that spell.
The website visitors capitalised. From Rezek's cross, Jaroslav Plasil scored previous Allan McGregor with his midriff.
Fletcher's purpose turned out to be yet yet another fake dawn. Amid chaotic scenes to near the match, Kadlec restored parity. The Czechs had Blom and Rezek to thank for that as significantly as the complete-back himself.
