ReutersThe Russian national football team defeated their opponents from the Czech Republic with a score of 4:1 in the first match at Euro 2012. The goals were scored by Roman Shirokov, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Alan Dzagoev, who became the real hero of the match. CSKA midfielder Dzagoev scored the first goal against the Czechs in the 15th minute, the second in the 79th minute. The only time the Czechs were lucky was when Vaclav Pilar was able to score.
As a result, the Russian team scored three points and led group A. The Czech Republic does not have a single point, it only ranks fourth in the group. The teams of Poland and Greece, who have already played 1:1 in Warsaw, have one point each.

“Some time ago, I realized that the victory of any Russian team depends only on me. If I don’t watch or listen to this or that broadcast, then ours will definitely win! But as soon as I start watching some match, then all of ours turn into losers, writes blogger davelee76 . “That’s why yesterday I went to bed before the start of the broadcast of the Russia-Czech Republic match, and a miracle didn’t happen - ours won!!!”
“After the end of the first match of the Russian national team in the 2012 European Championship, residents of Izhevsk came out to the Central Square to celebrate the victory of our football players. Tipsy fans - and this is practically many - joyfully shouted chants, ran out onto the roadway, leaned out of the windows of moving cars,” reports from places of events blogger leha747 . “And yet we won the Czech Republic! Hurray! Well done! Alan Dzagoev, Roman Shirokov, Roman Pavlyuchenko, Vyacheslav Malafeev!”
“It turned out to be a very strange match,” says blogger shisha-hwguy . “On the one hand, it’s already clear that our team is old and that we can’t keep up the pace for long. The Czechs looked very active against this background, but, in turn, extremely stupid. And by the end of the game the Czechs actually surprised me, as they frankly sagged. On the other hand, there was a strong feeling of winning in class, which is extremely pleasant compared to the Czechs.”
“Euro 2012, what a great start! Opening match: a super dramatic draw from the Poles and Greeks. And then... Russian national team, is that you? If only the championship didn’t slow down!” — Viktor Kulakov hopes.
“The opening match of the Russian team at Euro 2012 will definitely go down in history, Russia-Czech Republic - 4:1, and that says a lot!” — Lyubov Pakholenko is sure.
“I know, they will tell me: it’s too early to rejoice, the whole championship is still ahead. But why not just rejoice at the good performance of our team? That’s simple, regardless of the tournament significance of yesterday’s match. It’s true - they played great! And in absolutely all lines. And yet no one didn’t fall out of the overall picture, everyone showed their worth. Even Kerzhakov, who, although he didn’t score (I’m sure Alexander will still have goals), but tormented and exhausted the Czech defense. And what a goal Roma Pavlyuchenko scored -blogger mcsoid rejoices. In general, one word - well done! It was a pleasure to watch such a game, and the beer was opened for good reason.))".
