The Czech Republic kept alive their hopes of reaching the Euro 2012 quarter-finals as they beat Greece 2-1 in their Group A clash here on Tuesday.

Victory not only took the Czechs onto three points with a game to come against co-hosts Poland but was also revenge for their defeat by the Greeks in the Euro 2004 semi-finals. The Greeks — who went on to win the Euro 2004 title — are stuck on just a point with Russia, who beat the Czechs 4-1 in their opener, to come.
