West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek was left frustrated by the Czech Republic's 0-0 draw in Moldova for yesterday's Euro qualifier.

Despite the Czech Republic's best efforts in Monday's fixture at the Zimbru Stadium in Chișinău, midfielder Souček and his international teammates were forced to settle for a share of the points after a 0-0 draw.

"We feel disappointment for sure," Souček told journalists after the game. “There was a lot of enthusiasm after the match with Poland. We got three points in that game and gave a great performance. We wanted to confirm it with another win against Moldova but it didn't work.

“Moldova also wanted to win. They had quality players. We kept a clean sheet and I have to praise our defence, because no opponent is easy in today's game.

“We have to take a point. I think that other opponents will also have a hard time collecting points here against Moldova. They showed quality. Everyone in our team gave their best. We just lacked the quality in the final third against them.

“You need to create something and also to score the first goal. Then it opens up and it's much easier to score more. Even though we played better for the last 15 to 20 minutes and opened them up more, the chances still didn't come."

Soucek added: “We need to learn from this match. We want to be the best and above all to advance to the Finals. That is our goal. We just made it a little more difficult for ourselves. We have two points less than we wanted after this match.

“We need as many points as possible in the summer against the Faroe Islands and in other matches, because we still have a good starting position."
