San Marino 0-3 Czech Republic: Rosicky runs riot
Group D
Goals by Tomas Rosicky, Marek Jankulovski and Jan Koller steered the Czech Republic to an easy 3-0 victory over 10-man San Marino in their Euro 2008 Group D qualifier on Saturday.
Having already beaten winless San Marino 7-0 at home in October, the Czechs came into the game looking for another goal feast.
Instead, their attack continued to sputter for most of the match as they scored two or more goals in a qualifier for the first time this year.
Rosicky provided the opener in the 32nd minute when Marek Kulic's weak shot was only parried by goalkeeper Aldo Simoncini and the Arsenal midfielder headed into an open goal.
San Marino's Alessandro Della Valle picked up his second yellow card in the 63rd minute, giving the Czechs even more room to operate.
AC Milan's Jankulovski blasted home a low drive from a free kick in the 75th minute to extend the lead before Koller headed home his 51st international goal in extra time.
