Schick's strike with his right pulled the Czech Repulic back into the game in their Euro 2020 quarter-final match against Denmark. In doing so, he equalled Cristiano Ronaldo's tally of five goals in the competition.

Schick has drawn himself level with Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the Euro 2020 goal scoring charts. The Czech Republic striker made it 1-2 on the scoreline against Denmark to claw his side back into the match, who had opened the scoring before doubling their advantage thanks to Delaney and Dolberg respectively. 

The Bayern Leverkusen forward scored his goal with his right, making the most of a well placed pass into the opposition box. He struck it to perfection past a Schmeichel who had kept the Czechs at bay with some fine saves just moments before. He couldn't do anything about Schick's strike.

With it, he upped his tally to five goals in the tournament. He has become of his nation's biggest threats up top, and also helped them eliminate one of the favourites Netherlands in the last 16.

Coufal was responsible for the assist, as he placed the ball perfectly into the path of his teammate in the box. Schick then struck quickly before the Danish defence could react, also catching Schmeichel off-guard to give his side a fighting chance of progressing to the semis.
