Jankto and Vieira feature for Czech Republic and England U20

Jakub Jankto and Ronaldo Vieira were named in the starting line-ups for Czech Republic and England U20 against Russia and the Netherlands respectively on Monday evening, although both ended up on the losing side.

Karel Jarolim’s men came up against a Russia team in scintillating form in Rostov. The hosts shot out of the blocks and were 3-0 up inside the first half an hour courtesy of Aleksei Ionov (8), Anton Zabolotnvi (24) and Ionov again (29). Tomas Soucek pulled one back for the Czechs in the second half but Aleksandr Yerokhin (78) and Dmitry Poloz (83) added two more as it ended 5-1.

England U20 were unable to capitalise on Eddie Nketiah’s 7th-minute opener as their Dutch counterparts came from behind in Katwijk. Ben Brereton had the chance to make it 2-0 from the spot on the quarter-hour mark but saw his penalty saved by Maarten Paes. The Netherlands turned the game on its head in the last 20 minutes thanks to goals by Tahith Chong (72) and Dylan Vente (85) and Ferdi Kadioglu (89).
