Slovakia relieved to keep England at bay, says Kozak (Reuters)

By Zoran Milosavljevic ST ETIENNE, France (Reuters) - Slovakia had to dig deep to earn a 0-0 draw against dominant England which kept alive their hopes of reaching the Euro 2016 knockout stages as one of the best third-placed teams, coach Jan Kozak said on Monday. The Slovakians soaked up intense pressure against a reshuffled England side whose manager Roy Hodgson made six changes to the starting line-up. "I expected that kind of pressure from England as they made logical changes to their starting line-up and our players were getting really tired towards the end, hence we were relieved after the final whistle," he added.
