Czech Republic coach Michal Bilek insists that his team were better than Scotland during their Euro 2012 qualifier.

Czech Republic boss Michal Bilek has said that his team were better than Scotland when the two sides drew 2-2 in their Euro 2012 qualifier at Hampden Park yesterday.

The Czechs were awarded a controversial last minute spot-kick after referee Kevin Blom adjudged Jan Rezek to have been fouled inside the box, to set up the visitors' second equaliser of the afternoon.

Bilek, who refused to comment on the decision, instead insisted that his team were deserving of their point.

"It was difficult to see from where I was standing," he told reporters, when asked about the referee's decision.

"I felt we played the better football. We started well and the game was going in our favour. They had reasonable chances but we kept the ball well.

"Scotland have one more game than us to play so we can't say we are in the European Championship finals yet. We still have two matches to play so we have to concentrate."

The Czech Republic's remaining matches are against Lithuania and group-leaders Spain.
