Czech Republic eases past Kazakhstan in Euro 2016 qualifying

Pavel Vrba's team took the lead on 14 minutes when Borek Dockal found the bottom corner with a precise effort from 25 yards. The Czechs then doubled their advantage on the stroke of half time as David Lafata tapped home from close range after Pavel Kaderabek had hooked a cross back into the heart of the Kazakh penalty area, according to Sports Mole . A successful night for the away side got even better with 56 minutes played when Ladislav Krejci volleyed in from Dockal's deep cross to make it 3-0. Kazakhstan pulled a goal back on 84 minutes through Jurij Logvinenko's opportunistic strike, but the Czechs restored their three-goal soon after thanks to substitute Tomas Necid's turn and finish inside the box. Logvinenko scored his second of the match in stoppage time with a header from a corner, though it was not enough to stop the hosts slumping to a second defeat in three games.
