“Even if we are happy now, we had already decided before the game not to continue,” the 62-year-old Czech coach told national television.
David Doudera (14th), Tomas Chory (72nd) and Tomas Soucek (90th + 2) had previously scored for his team around Leverkusen attacker Adam Hlozek. Moldova played outnumbered from the 55th minute onwards and finished the group in fourth place.
In Ljubljana, Bundesliga ace Benjamin Sesko finally put Slovenia on course towards participation in the European Championship once morest rivals Kazakhstan. After the Leipzig player converted a penalty (41′), the guests only managed to get a temporary equalizer through Ramazan Orasow (48′), before Benjamin Verbic (86′) completed the home team’s success.
However, the Kazakhs can still win the Germany ticket in the play-offs.
England remain unbeaten
Both “winners of the day” will travel to Germany as runners-up in their group. Ahead of Italy, the European Championship runners-up England, who had already won the group, remained unbeaten in North Macedonia with a 1-1 (0-1) advantage following an own goal by the hosts at the end of the elimination. Due to the direct comparison, the Czech Republic might not get past Albania, who successfully defended their lead with a 0-0 draw once morest the Faroe Islands. The Slovenians also had to finish on equal points behind group winners Denmark (0-2 in Northern Ireland).
The last place in the field of 24 teams to be awarded through the regular elimination will be played in a long-distance duel on Tuesday in Group D of the World Cup third-placed Croatia and Wales. The remaining three places in the second final tournament in the 63-year history of the European Championship on German soil following the premiere 35 years ago will be played in the play-offs at the end of March in three tournaments with four teams each.
