Late goals give Czechs 2-1 win over Kazakhstan

By Michael Kahn PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech Republic snatched a 2-1 come-from-behind win against Kazakhstan thanks to two late second-half headers from substitute Milan Skoda on Thursday to stay firmly on track for the Euro 2016 finals in France. The second-placed Czechs have 16 points and remain two behind Group A leaders Iceland, who won 1-0 away to a struggling Netherlands side stuck on 10 points in third. The Czechs dominated much of the possession but had trouble breaking down a determined Kazakh defence. Yuri Logvinenko had put the visitors ahead in the 21st minute when he outjumped his marker and gave a sprawling Petr Cech no chance. The home side finally levelled in the 72nd when Borek Dockal lofted a cross that substitute Skoda headed home for his first international goal. Skoda then added his second in the 86th minute when he rose to head a Josef Sural cross into the net. (Reporting by Michael Kahn; Editing by Michael Collett)
