Prague-Vrsovice (Czech Republic): The Czech Republic stunned England 2-1 in the ongoing Euro 2020 qualifying tournament on Friday (local time) here at the Sinobo Stadium. With this win, the Czech Republic has moved level on points with England in the group. England had not lost either a World Cup or European Championship qualifier since 2009.

England was able to register an early goal. Skipper Harry Kane converted the penalty in the fifth minute to give the Three Lions a 1-0 lead. Raheem Sterling's run was ended by Lukas Masopust's clumsy trip and as a result, England was awarded a penalty. The Czech Republic did not have to wait a long time for the equalising goal as Jakub Brabec netted the ball in the 9th minute, bringing the scoreline to 1-1.
