Tomas Holes and Patrik Schick scored second-half goals to take the Czech Republic into the Euro 2021 quarter-finals as they took advantage of a red card for the Netherlands to upset their more fancied opponents and win 2-0 in Budapest on Sunday.
Holes powered home a 68th-minute opener after being set up by Tomas Kalas, as the Dutch watched on hopelessly in their own penalty area.
Schick made sure of the Czechs surprise success with a close-range finish 10 minutes from full-time, his fourth goal of the tournament, in front of a capacity crowd that provided a deafening wall of noise for most of an absorbing last-16 contest.

Budapest, June 28 : Two second-half goals from Tomas Holes and Patrik Schick helped the Czech Republic book a Euro 2020 quarterfinal berth after getting past Frank de Boer s Netherlands 2-0 in a round-of-16 match at the Puskas Arena here.
The Dutch caused problems for the Czech initially with their pace on Sunday, but Matthijs de Ligt and Denzel Dumfries lacked accuracy upfront, reports Xinhua.
As the match progressed, Czech Republic grew in confidence and posed danger on counterattacks as Tomas Soucek s diving header missed the target just wide in the 20th minute before Schick s deflected attempt forced Dutch goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg into action two minutes later.
