Controversial decision from referee, to give penalty in two minutes left make match Czech Republic's 2-2 draw with Scotland in UEFA Euro 2012 qualification.
Goals from Kenny Miller and Darren Fletcher either side of a Jaroslav Plasil equaliser had given Scotland the lead with less than 10 minutes to go, but the referee controversially gifted the Czechs a penalty with two minutes left.
Michal Kadlec dispatched the penalty precisely, but there was more controversy still to come, as Christophe Berra went down under a challenge in the area, only to be booked for diving by the Dutch referee.
Even more late controversy was to come in stoppage time when the referee booked Berra for diving in the area despite clear contact. Scotland were furious at the referee, but their protests were ultimately in vein as the game finished all square, but with their Euro 2012 dreams all but over.
