Posted: 17 June 2012 Time: 12:45 am

Czech Republic and Greece have qualified for the quarter-finals of Euro 2012 after a thrilling finale to Group A.

Petr Jiracek was on target for the Czech Republic as they edged Poland 1-0 to seal top spot in the section, while in the other fixture, Greece captain Giorgos Karagounis netted the only goal of the game to send Dick Advocaat's men, tipped as dark horses, home early.

Co-hosts Poland have been eliminated together with Russia, who lost out on a place in the next round due to their loss in the direct duel with Fernando Santos' men.

From loosing 4-1 in the 1st game to topping the group? Bravo to the Czechs. As for Greece they read the rule books, unlike our own Bafana. Head to head comes before goals. @Koele just leave Fifa alone man.
