Cech was forced into action twice before the interval, diving to parry Jordi Alba's angled shot from the left side of the area then rushing out to block at the feet of Silva as he prepared to pull the trigger after being set up by Juanfran.


Cech came under more -intense pressure in another one-sided half after the restart, the keeper desperately turning the deflection from a Morata pass around the post before blocking Sergio Ramos' effort from inside the area from the resulting corner.


The Czechs were given a sniff when Roman Hubnik got his to Ladislav Krejci's free kick from outside the area, but De Gea got down well to save.
