Half-Time Report: Czech Republic draw level in stoppage time

Pavel Kaderabek scores with the last action of the first half to draw Czech Republic level at 1-1 with Iceland after 45 minutes.

Czech Republic have pulled their Euro 2016 qualifier with Iceland back to 1-1 with the last action of the first half.

The game began horrendously for the hosts, as captain Petr Cech gifted the visitors the lead in the eighth minute as he charged from his goal but got nowhere near a long throw in, leaving the unmarked Ragnar Sigurdsson with the simple task of nodding the ball into the back of the net from six yards out.

Thereafter, Iceland sat back and invited pressure from the hosts. Ladislav Krejci should have done better than drag a shot wide from close range before David Lafata saw his low shot saved at the near post by Hannes Halldorsson.

However, five minutes before the break Kolbeinn Sigthorsson came agonisingly close to doubling his side's lead when put through one-on-one, but Pavel Kaderabek's last ditch challenge deflected the ball behind for a corner.

Kaderabek then went one better as he levelled the game up in stoppage time with a thumping header after Daniel Pudil's stretch kept a deep free kick in play.
