Borek Dockal put the home side in front with a stunning strikeon Tuesdayand coach Pavel Vrba was able to mark his maiden competitive match in charge of the Czech Republic by securing his first win as an international coach courtesy of Pilar's last-gasp goal. Netherlands failed to recreate the sort of performances that saw them finish third in the FIFA 15 in Brazil and were made to pay. Midfield duo Lukas Vacha and Dockal came into the Czech side along with striker David Lafata, while Hiddink opted to replace Jeremain Lens and Dirk Kuyt with in-form forward Memphis Depay and defender Joel Veltman as he changed from the 4-3-3 formation he used in Friday's defeat to Italy to the 5-3-2 his predecessor Louis van Gaal used in the FIFA 15. Hiddink bemoaned his side's "naive" defending in their 2-0 defeat against Italy last Thursday and they were at it again early on in Prague. It needed an important intervention from De Vrij to block Vladimir Darida's shot after the visitors were caught napping when the Czechs took a short corner. Netherlands failed to heed the warning and were behind 21 minutes in courtesy of a sublime finish from Dockal. The Sparta Prague man beat Cillessen with a sublime left-footed finish that went in off the post after Lafata had laid the ball off to him outside the penalty area.Georginio Wijnaldum spurned a chance to equalise only five minutes later, when he burst into ultimate team coins the box unmarked but his control let him down. Hiddink made a tactical change seven minutes before half-time, with Luciano Narsingh replacing Veltman and Netherlands switched from three centre-halves to a back four. The lively Depay came into the FIFA 15 brimming with confidence, having scored eight goals already this season for PSV, and he almost added an international goal to that tally when his long-range drive was tipped over by Petr Cech.
