Defending champions Spain began their Euro 2016 campaign with a late winner against a stubborn Czech Republic side.
The Group D match had seemed likely to end in a goalless draw despite heavy Spain pressure -- but Gerard Pique sealed the points when he headed home three minutes from time after a fine Andres Iniesta cross.
The Czechs started brightly and won an early free-kick when Tomas Necid was fouled by Gerard Pique, but Vladimir Darida could only send a tame effort into the wall.
But Spain's passing soon started to click and, as they came forward, the Czech defence scrambled away a Juanfran cross from inside their six-yard area.
