First Half Analysis: Czech Rep. 1-0 Nigeria

Not too cohesive from the Eagles as the team conceded too many set pieces, especially corner kicks, from which the Czech Republic took the lead on 26 minutes through Tomas Kalas, who pounced on a rebound off Francis Uzoho. More needs to be done in the offensive third by the Eagles to get back into the game in the second half.
