Scotland made their return to tournament football at EURO 2020 after 23 years, but could not turn this occasion into a win, as the Czech Republic walked away from Hampden Park with a 2-0 win. Scotland dominated the match for large periods, as our analytics report will show, and were quite unlucky not to score, but the Czech Republic took their chances through Patrik Schick, who netted a brace, including an audacious goal from the halfway line that caught out the Scottish goalkeeper David Marshall. Scotland had nearly 60% possession and 18 shots, and also edged their opponents in terms of xG, but the Czechs tested Marshall far more regularly than the Scots did Tomas Vaclik – Scotland had just five shots on target from their 18 total attempts, while the Czech Republic hit the target with seven of theirs from 10.
