Svento goes into the box, slips it to Sebo, who finds Mintal, and Marek doesn't hesitate to put it into the net.

Svento again beats defenders, gives it to Mintal in the box, Mintal shoots low and Sebo deflects it into the empty net.

Krassas for Garpozis

 

GOAL! 4-0!

Filip Sebo again!:happy: :happy: :happy:

 

Crazy turn of events.

First, Cyprus scores a goal, but the referee waves it off for offside. Then, Svento brilliantly sets up the goal by beating defenders and passing the ball delicately back for Sebo, who one-times it into the net with no problems.

 

5-0!!!! Miroslav Karhan!

Mintal centres the ball, and Karhan rifles a volley into the net, no chance for the goal-keeper.

 

By the way, this is Karhan's 80th cap for Slovakia, which passes Lubomir Moravcik for the most ever.

Congratulations Miro.:thumbsup:

 

MINTAL! 6-0!!!!!

I am speechless.

 

Holosko and Krajcik nicely combined to present Mintal with a good chance, and he took advantage.

Last substitution for us: Sebo and his two goals are off, replaced by Hodur.

 

Other matches in our group which I am keeping my eyes on:

Czech Republic 0 - 0 Wales (60th minute)

Germany 0 - 0 Ireland (Half-Time)

 

Last Cyprus sub:

Theofilou for Louka

 

Czechs scored a fortunate goal after some bad defending by Wales.

 

Only 5 minutes to go.

 

6-1. Cyprus scores in the last second.

But still, a fantastic result!:happy: :happy: :happy:
