Prague, CHECH REPUBLIC, September 6 (uefa.com) - The Czech Republic warmed up for the EURO 2004™ qualifiers with a resounding 5-0 friendly win against Yugoslavia.

Tomas Ujfalusi and Milan Baros scored two goals apiece in a match that kicked off 30 minutes late after both teams took the field in white strips. Once the game started, the Czechs were quick out of the blocks, opening the scoring after just 72 seconds through Vladimir Smicer, finishing with a first-time shot after Jan Koller's smart pass.

The Czechs made it two on 21 minutes through Ujfalusi who scored following a Tomas Rosicky corner. Captain Pavel Nedved, suspended for next month's qualifier in Moldova, then came on as a substitute for the injured Smicer but it was Baros, another substitute, who hit the third six minutes after the interval from a Rosicky free-kick.

Ujfalusi headed the fourth goal on 56 minutes and Baros, with a solo effort ten minutes from time, sealed the second impressive victory on the run for a Czech side that beat Slovakia 4-1 last month.
