It was the Bayer Leverkusen forward's second goal of the game. The 25-year-old put the Czechs in the lead in the 42nd minute with a header. He then doubled his tally in the 52nd minute with an outrageous effort.

When the ball broke to Schick, he took a couple of touches before curling an effort from the halfway line to catch Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall off his line.
