Wales are currently drawing 0-0 at half-time against the Czech Republic in their EURO 2008 Group D qualifier at the Millenium Stadium on Saturday.

The game started with both sides being very wary of each other, but with Wales seeing some good possession in the early part of the game.

The home side had their first chance on goal in the 11th minute after Giggs crossed the ball into the path of Craig Bellamy, but the ball was tucked away for a corner with an excellent last ditch tackle from David Rozehnal.

Tomas Rosicky had an attempt in the 18th minute as the Czechs started to get into the game, with Jan Koller and Rosicky both having shots at goal, but nothing to heavily test 20-year-old Wales keeper Wayne Hennessey.

Wales earned a couple of corners from their attacks, but failed to capitalise on them, with Giggs preferring to play them short and with the Czech defence dealing well with Bellamy and the other Welsh attackers.

As the half progressed the Czech Republic began to get into their swing and the home side were lucky to not concede after an excellent piece of build-up play led to Jaroslav Plasil having a shot off target and Marek Jankulovski forcing a very good save from Hennessey.

Minutes later Wales had a good chance to break the deadlock, with Jason Koumas just going wide of Petr Cech’s right post with a fierce long-range right footed shot.

The half ended 0-0, with the visitors looking the stronger of the two teams.
