Bain hat-trick is Czech-mate

Striker Kenny Bain was the hat-trick hero as his three goals, together with a Wei Adams penalty corner, gave Scotland a 4-3 win over the Czech Republic in Prague this evening.
Following the win over the Czechs, Scotland Team Manager Eugene Connolly said, “It was a pretty good performance but we should have scored more goals tonight. We gave away a couple of soft goals so we will need to ensure we concentrate on the defensive aspect of our game. But we attacked well, scored goals and it could have been more comfortable in the end if we’d taken our chances.”
The Scots went 1-0 up when Kenny Bain’s penalty corner attempt was deflected into the goal off a home defender. However, the Czech Republic struck twice in three minutes to take a 2-1 lead shortly afterwards.
Nevertheless, excellent build-up play from Gavin Byers led to Bain finding a Scottish equaliser and his second goal of the match to put the national side back on parity at 2-2.
Bain wrapped up his hat-trick shortly before half-time to give his side a 3-2 lead going into the interval.
The Scots extended their lead to 4-2 mid-way through the second half when Wei Adams’ strike from a penalty corner was again deflected off a Czech Republic defender.
The Czechs pulled one back late in the second half, but it was Scotland who closed out the match comfortably to register a 4-3 win at full-time.
The two sides meet again tomorrow.
