Smicer seals Czech win

Exciting finish
Cyprus led at half-time through Yiasoumis Yiasoumi’s 25th-minute opener and, after Vratislav Lokvenc had equalised moments after the break, they reclaimed the advantage through Ioakim Ioakim on 65 minutes. In an exciting finish to the match, Jan Koller struck twice in quick succession – on 75 and 86 minutes – to make it 3-2, Michalis Constantinou drew Cyprus level on 88 minutes only for Smicer to win the match for the Czechs a minute later.

Swiss finish third
Switzerland beat Hungary 2-1 to take third place after Hungary had a goal disallowed seconds from time. Switzerland went ahead after 53 minutes through Ludovic Magnin’s long-range effort and they doubled their lead with a Hakan Yakin header three minutes later.

Late drama
Hungary pulled one back through Gábor Gyepes with nine minutes to go and went close to snatching a dramatic equaliser in the final minute. However, their joy was short-lived as Cypriot referee Socrates Socratous disallowed the shot from substitute Attila Tököli for a foul on the Swiss keeper Fabrice Borer.
