The Czech Republic have held a dominant Sweden side to a 1-1 draw in Tuesday evening's friendly international in Stockholm.

The home side started with a flurry and took the lead with 14 minutes on the clock when Marcus Berg drilled Martin Olsson's cross straight into the bottom corner.

The Czechs were level in the 26th minute courtesy of a close-range header from Matej Vydra, who rose high in the box to nod home Tomas Sivok's set piece.

Vladimir Darida almost gave the visitors a lead to take into the break when he collected Ladislav Krejci's pass in the final third and shot inches wide with 34 minutes played.

Sweden dominated the opening stages of the second half, coming closest to adding to their goal tally on the hour mark when veteran striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed an Olsson cross just wide.

The Czechs' best chance to hit them on the break went begging 10 minutes later when a swift attack ended abruptly, as Krejci narrowly missed the top corner from inside the box.
