Aveiro, Portugal:
The Czech Republic have become the first team to reach the quarterfinals of Euro 2004 after a brilliant 3-2 win over Holland, in which they came back from being two goals down. The Netherlands couldn't have wished for a better start as goals from Wilfred Bouma and Ruud van Nistelrooy put them 2-0 up in the first 19 minutes. After Baros had restored parity, Dutch defender Johnny Heitinga was sent off. The 10-man Dutch were caught with a sucker punch in the 88th minute when Smicer tucked home Karel Poborsky's cutback. The Netherlands are third in the group with one point, one behind Germany. (With PTI inputs)Topics mentioned in this article
