A disappointing draw between Czech Republic and Bulgaria

img
Czech Republic and Bulgaria couldn't take advantage after a disppointing game, finished on a draw (0-0). Both teams couldn't handle the game and get some chances, face to solids defenses, especially during a very close first half. After a great work on the right side, Despodov crossed it to Minchev but the forward, forgotten by the defense, missed the ball (9'). The only ways to bring the danger in boxes were corner kicks and free kicks. Especially with Minchev, who took one from twenty meters but sent it directly on the goalkeeper (39'). This was nearly all for the first half.

Fortunately, the second half started in a better way. Minchev again (45') and Chory (48') both missed the net with their header. Hulka was more accurate, but his after a corner kick from Sykora was blocked by Kitanov (61'). The last chance during this close game. After two wins, Czech Republic lost two points, before to play against France on thursday. First point in this Tournament for Bulgaria, who will face Mexico on tuesday.
