The world fell in love with Patrik Schick’s goal! It is a record-breaking hit

The whole football world is celebrating a great goal by Czech striker Patrik Schick! The Sparta Prague graduate scored two goals that set our national team on their way to a 2:0 victory over Scotland. The second goal scored in the Scottish sanctuary is a record.

Apart from the two goals, the world media also took notice of our striker’s overall performance, which was truly above standard! WhoScored has given the Man of the Match a rating of 9.03!

the 25-year-old striker scored against the Scots with a header and then from an incredible distance! The second goal he scored from almost half the field (from 45.5 meters to be precise) is a Euro record!

Not since 1980, when more detailed statistics began to be kept, has there been a goal at a European Championship from further out than Schick’s 52nd minute strike!

Schick is in great form in the national jersey! In his last 9 games for the national team he has been involved in 9 goals (7 goals scored and 2 assists). He is currently tied for first place in the Euro 2020 scorers table with Belgian sniper Romelu Lukaku (both 2 goals).

Another interesting fact is that Schick is the first of our players (since 2004) to score two goals in one Euro game. The last author of two goals in one match at a European Championship was Milan Baroš at Euro 2004.
