This game has slowed right down now as we approach injury time. Serbia's players will want to get off this pitch as soon as possible.
86'
CHANCE! The Czechs swarm forward at pace once more, Matej Hybs ultimately letting fly but Aleksandar Pantic does well to block.
85'
L. Milunović enters the game and replaces M. Jojić.
84'
L. Masopust gets yellow.
83'
CHANCE! Serbia almost get a gift as Tomas Koubek slips, but the goalkeeper recovers just in time to clear.
82'
T. Přikryl enters the game and replaces J. Kliment.
81'
Jan Kliment is given a standing ovation by this crowd in Prague as he is withdrawn by Jakub Dovalil. The hat-trick hero has been immense throughout.
79'
PENALTY SHOUT! Czech Republic want a spot-kick after Michal Travnik goes down in the box, but the referee is not interested. It would have been a soft one, in truth.
76'
The Czechs win a corner on the right, but Serbia defend it well and Martin Frydek is penalised for a foul on Milos Jojic.

Description
75'
L. Masopust enters the game and replaces J. Skalák.
74'
More great play from the hosts, who continue to stroke the ball around the park. Serbia have been second-best in every single department today.
71'
Czech Republic are just starting to take the sting out of this game now, keeping possession in the middle of the park as we approach the final quarter of an hour.
69'
Jakub Brabec has been fantastic so far. The centre-back has kept Aleksandar Pesic quiet throughout, and he eases the striker out of harm's way once more.
68'
F. Đuričić gets yellow.
66'
Czech Republic are rampant and still look the most likely to get the next goal. Pavel Kaderabek advances down the right and fires the ball across the box, but Serbia scramble it clear.
64'
CHANCE! Jan Kliment looked certain to get his fourth there, but Marko Dmitrovic does brilliantly to halt him. The striker beats two defenders and the goalkeeper, but delays his shot and allows Dmitrovic to get back.
63'
A. Kovačević enters the game and replaces G. Čaušić.
61'
This is starting to get embarrassing for Serbia. They need to keep things tight at the back now and look to pull at least once back for the sake of their goal difference.
59'
M. Frýdek has scored a goal for Czechia U21!
GOAL! Incredible scenes in Prague! It's a fantastic goal again, Jiri Skalak biding his time before chipping a cross to Martin Frydek, who guides a superb volley into the far corner.
56'
J. Kliment has scored a goal for Czechia U21!
GOAL! Jan Kliment has a hat-trick! Serbia have played well in the first 10 minutes of this half but Czech Republic score again, Jakub Brabec playing a fine ball through to Kliment, who goes round the keeper and rolls it into the corner.
54'
Another promising moment from Serbia, who look more of a threat but just can't produce anything in the final third. Alexsander Pesic pulls out to the left and dribbles at Jakub Brabec, but runs out of space and concedes a goal-kick.
52'
Good work from Filip Djuricic, who forces a mistake out of Tomas Kalas and wins a corner for Serbia. The delivery is good but Jakub Brabec towers above everyone to clear.
50'
Jan Kliment has given Aleksandar Panetic and Uros Spajic the run-around so far today. He again causes the pair problems, bringing down a long ball and looking to sprint in behind.
48'
Serbia have made a positive start to this second period, but Czech Republic will be reasonably content to sit back and look to hit their opponents on the counter.
46'
M. Petković enters the game and replaces F. Stojković.
Almost the perfect start from Serbia, who charge forward straight from kick-off, Slavoljub Srnic and Filip Djuricic linking up nicely before Milos Jojic tests Tomas Koubek from the edge of the box.
45'
Milos Jojic and Filip Djuricic have looked the pair most likely to make things happen for Serbia so far. The duo combine well on the right but Czech Republic win the ball back and immediately go on the attack.
PENALTY SHOUT! The Czechs' appeals are waved away by the referee after Pavel Kaderabek went down in the box.
43'
It's been an incredible opening half from the hosts. They've been first to every loose ball and shown a lot of quality in possession. Jakub Dovalil's only regret will be that his side are just two goals ahead.
41'
CHANCE! Czech Republic with another opportunity as Serbia look nervous at the back. Jan Kliment turns provider this time, feeding the ball to Martin Frydek, who can't beat Marko Dmitrovic.
39'
CHANCE! Serbia get their first glimpse of goal, Filip Djuricic sliding a superb through-ball to Milos Jojic, whose poked shot is saved by Tomas Koubek.
37'
Pavel Kaderabek, who was such an attacking threat against Denmark, gets forward from right-back for the first real time this afternoon. It's a good run but Serbia defend it well and win the goal-kick.
35'
Serbia struggle to clear a corner, which falls to Michal Travnik on the edge of the box. His shot lacks power, though, and Marko Dmitrovic is able to make an easy stop.
33'
Great pressing from Czech Republic, who force Serbia to go all the way back to the goalkeeper from a promising position high on the left.
31'
The tempo's dropped slightly in the last five minutes. Czech Republic started this game so quickly that it's no surprise to see them slowing things down now.
29'
M. Trávník enters the game and replaces V. Kadlec.
Serbia build up the play in midfield but it's all too slow and Czech Republic are able to get bodies back and form a compact defensive shape.
26'
Darko Brasanac, who has already been booked, is penalised for a foul on Martin Frydek. The Serbian midfielder has to be careful.
24'
On second viewing, it's not entirely clear whether Tomas Kalas did get the ball with that challenge. Serbia can count themselves a little unfortunate.
23'
Serbia attempt to counter, with Aleksander Pesic leading the charge, but Chelsea defender Tomas Kalas gets back to get a toe on the ball and clear.
21'
J. Kliment has scored a goal for Czechia U21!
GOAL! Jiri Skalak plays a lovely one-two with Matej Hybs before taking a shot from the left-hand side of the box. Marko Dmitrovic saves but can only palm the ball to the feet of Jan Kliment, who fires home from close-range.
20'
Jiri Skalak is the man to take the free-kick, but the Serbian wall stands strong.
19'
Uros Spajic hauls down Matej Hybs - who has been excellent so far - on the edge of the box. This is a good chance for Czech Republic...
18'
Serbia have just started to settle here. They win a free-kick wide on the left, but Filip Djuricic's delivery is too close to Tomas Koubek, who claims the ball with ease.
15'
CHANCE! Czech Republic work the ball well once more, Matej Hybs finding Vaclav Kadlec in acres of space on the edge of the box. The Frankfurt man sets himself and then smashes a fine effort towards goal, which rattles off the crossbar and is cleared by the Serbian defence. The Czechs could easily be 4-0 up here!
14'
It's been a really high-tempo start from Jakub Dovalil's Czech Republic side. Serbia haven't settled and the Czechs are playing some sensational football.
12'
The hosts are playing some wonderful football here. Vaclav Kadlec drifts wide to create another overload before picking out Jan Kliment in the middle. He in turn finds the overlapping Matej Hybs, who has to settle for a corner.
10'
D. Brašanac gets yellow.
CHANCE! What an opportunity for the Czechs to double their lead. Jan Kliment finds himself through on goal but Marko Dmitrovic produces a fine save with his legs. Kliment collects the loose ball and feeds Jiri Skalak at the back post, who somehow fires over the top when he should score.
8'
J. Kliment has scored a goal for Czechia U21!
GOAL! Czech Republic have started brilliantly and they have the lead here! Vaclav Kadlec drifts left and feeds a lovely reverse ball to Matej Hybs, whose pull-back is converted by Jan Kliment six yards out.
6'
Jaromir Zmrhal nicks the ball in midfield and Czech Republic work it wide to Matej Hybs. Serbia are quick to get to the left-back, though, and the move fizzles out.
4'
Czech Republic create an overload down the right, Jiri Skalak releasing Vaclav Kadlec, who takes a poor first touch and allows Serbia to get back behind the ball.
3'
Jan Kliment, who proved himself to excellent at finding space against Denmark, does well to win a corner down the left.
2'
It's been a strong start by the hosts, who are moving the ball around nicely and dominating possession in the early stages.
Good afternoon and welcome along to Goal's live coverage of the European Under-21 Championship Group A game between Serbia and Czech Republic. My name's Greg Lea and I'll be guiding you through the action.
Serbia's opening encounter with Germany finished as a 1-1 draw, while hosts Czech Republic suffered a late 2-1 loss to Denmark. Both sides will know that defeat today could be fatal for their hopes of progressing to the semi-finals.
The players are out on the pitch with kick-off now just five minutes or so away. This match takes place at the Generali Arena in Prague, the 19,000-capacity home of Czech giants Sparta.
The referee's whistle sounds and we are under way in Prague!
The referee blows for half-time and the Czechs go in 2-0 up. It's been a fantastic 45 minutes from the hosts, who have blown Serbia away with their fast, dynamic and technical play.
The players are back out on the pitch, with the second half imminent. Serbia need to improve massively if they are to have any chance of salvaging anything from this game.
There goes the final whistle. What a performance from Czech Republic, who record a memorable 4-0 victory over Serbia.
Jan Kliment was the star of the show with his fabulous hat-trick, but every single Czech player was fantastic throughout those 90 minutes. Jakub Dovalil's side will now fancy their chances of progressing to the semi-finals.
That's it from me. Czech Republic were a pleasure to watch over the last two hours or so, and I certainly enjoyed myself. Hope you did too. Goodbye!
