Czech Republic Cruise Past Indonesia for 2nd 2017 Toulon Tournament Win

Czech Republic made it two wins out of two in the 2017 Toulon Tournament on Saturday, as they put Indonesia to the sword with a 2-0 victory at Stade Parsemain in France.

Roman Kasiar profited from some slack Indonesian defending to put his side in front with just 13 minutes on the clock, before a last-gasp goal from Ondrej Sasinka made sure of the three points.

Matej Chalus spurned the chance to double his side's advantage from the penalty spot shortly after half time, but he wasn't made to rue his error, with the Indonesians looking very much out of ideas.

Fresh off the back of a 3-2 victory over Scotland in their opening game in the tournament, Czech Republic are now sitting pretty at the top of Group C and looking odds on to progress to the knockout phase.

The Czech Republic came into Saturday's match as hot favourites to pick up three points and cement their status of Group C leaders, and they more than lived up to their billing from the off against Indonesia.

Despite putting up a stubborn defensive display in their 1-0 loss to Brazil first time out, Indonesia looked completely out of their depth against the free-flowing Czechs.

Vaclav Hlavaty was a constant thorn in their side, while the likes of Ondrej Novotny and goalscorer Kasiar were keeping the back line busy.

It never looked like being long before the Czech Republic got their reward for a dominant opening, although it came courtesy of a big slice of luck.

Novotny's ball into the box was clumsily intercepted by Rachmat Irianto, who could only succeed in teeing up Kasiar six yards from goal. The striker made absolutely no mistake when gifted the opportunity and slammed his side in front.

It was more of the same in a one-sided first half, and the second period didn't look like getting any better for Indonesia straight from the off.

With 46 minutes on the clock, Chalus was handed the chance to put his team 2-0 up from the penalty spot, but he wasn't able to convert as Indonesia lived to fight another day.

The Indonesians did then start to play more dangerous football and give the Czechs something to think about, but their forward momentum left holes at the back to exploit.

Substitute Sasinka—who scored in the victory over Scotland last time out—was on hand to finish off a flowing move from the Czechs and put the result beyond doubt.

The 2-0 victory was nothing more than the Czech Republic deserved on Saturday, as they were a class apart from Indonesia.

The victory against the highly rated Scots was impressive enough, but the way the Czech Republic simply rolled Indonesia aside makes them real dark horses for the tournament.

Their toughest examination of the tournament yet comes against Brazil in the final group match on Tuesday.
