Recovering from 0-2 down to beat The Netherlands 3-2 with a goal two minutes from time.
The result means the Czechs will advance to the Euro 2004 quarter-finals while the Dutch are now facing long odds — and another chapter has been added to the blossoming rivalry between the two sides.
Substitute Vladimir Smicer scored the deciding goal in the 88th minute, but the game kept up a breakneck pace throughout, and fans were treated to a rare display of open, attacking play by both sides.
"For us it was a fantastic day, evening, and night," said Czech midfielder Pavel Nedved, voted man-of-the-match.
