PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech Republic snatched a 1-1 draw at home to Latvia thanks to a 90th minute Vaclav Pilar goal in their Euro 2016 qualifier to stay top of Group A on Saturday.

The Czechs dominated possession but were undone by sloppy passing and looked like they would lose their first match in qualifying until Pilar knocked in a rebound off Latvia goalkeeper Andris Vannins in the dying moments.
