Half-Time Report: Czech Republic in front in Kazakhstan

The Czech Republic have moved into a commanding 2-0 half-time lead away to Kazakhstan in tonight's Euro 2016 qualifier between the sides.

The visitors took the lead on 14 minutes when Borek Dockal found the bottom corner with a precise effort from 25 yards after the home side had failed to clear their lines.

The Czechs thought that they had doubled their advantage with 10 minutes left to play, but Ladislav Krejci saw his goal ruled out for offside.

Despite struggling to break down their opponents for much of the half, the home side had the chance to level when Sergey Khizhnichenko fired wide late on.

Kazakhstan were made to pay for that miss on the stroke of half time as David Lafata tapped home from close range after Pavel Kaderabek had hooked a cross back into the dangerzone.
