The Czech Republic began their 2009 UEFA European
Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign with a draw
as Tomá? Pekhart's equaliser earned a point in
Armenia.
Armenia ahead
Armenia, who had beaten Liechtenstein at home in their
opening Group 2 game before losing in Ukraine, started
in lively fashion and Henrik Mkhitaryan went close
twice early on. Ondøej Kúdela and Pekhart then had
chances of their own but just before half-time Armenia
went ahead - Vardan Petrosyan connecting with Vahe
Mehrabyan's free-kick.
Czechs level
However, it took the visitors only two minutes of the
second half to level through Pekhart's header. The
Tottenham Hotspur FC forward, who helped the Czechs to
both the 2006 UEFA European Under-17 Championship and
the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup finals, nearly won the
game late on but the match finished all-square. On
Tuesday the Czech Republic welcome Liechtenstein and
the next day Armenia entertain Ukraine.
