On October 10, 2019, England’s long unbeaten streak in qualifying matches came to an end as they suffered a 2-1 defeat against the Czech Republic in Prague. Gareth Southgate’s team entered the match with high expectations, especially after a 5-0 victory over the Czechs at Wembley earlier. England took an early lead with a penalty by Harry Kane in the fifth minute, but the Czech Republic quickly equalized through Jakub Brabec. The Czech team grew in confidence and eventually secured a win with a goal by substitute Zdenek Ondrasek in the 85th minute. This loss ended England’s 43-match unbeaten run in Euro and World Cup qualifying matches, a streak that had lasted since October 2009. Despite the setback, England bounced back in their subsequent qualifiers, securing their place at Euro 2020.
