Under-21 round-up: Hosts Czech Republic crash out while Denmark and Germany progress
Wednesday 24 June 2015 09:22, UK
Hosts Czech Republic claimed a 1-1 draw against Germany but it wasn't enough to prevent them from crashing out of the Under-21 European Championships at the group stage on Tuesday night.
The Czechs fell behind when Hertha Berlin's Nico Schulz pounced on a loose ball to poke home after 55 minutes, before Ladislac Krejci pulled them level 11 minutes later with a fine left-footed effort.
While the point wasn't enough for the hosts, a draw meant Germany finished in second behind group winners Denmark - who beat Serbia 2-0 in the other game on the night.
The Danes took the lead when Rasmus Falk finished from close-range midway through the first half, before Ajax winger Viktor Fischer doubled their advantage just after half time.
Who Denmark and Germany will still face, however, is still unclear with Group B set to be resolved on Wednesday night. All four teams Portugal, England, Sweden and Italy can still qualify for the semi-finals.
