CHALLENGE
The Czecha pressed heavily, but in the 27th minute, against the run of play. McCulloch scored for Scotland. In the 38th minute, the Scots increased their lead through Buchanan, who put the ball in the corner of the net.
At half time, the home team led by 3-5.
Scotland dominated play in the second period; there was no sign of the revival which the Czechs staged against England. McCulloch headed a fourth goal for Scotland, and Kinners shot the fifth.
The Czechs were seen in many beautiful passing movements, but they lacked finishing power. The result rather flattered Scotland, but they must be given credit for their speedy understanding and a new style of play.
