Welshman plays full 90 minutes against the Czech Republic.

Derby County defender Keiron Freeman came through the full 90 minutes for Wales Under-21s in their 5-0 defeat to the Czech Republic.


 

The result means Wales finish second from bottom in their Uefa Under-21 Championship group, whilst the Czech Republic will now go forward into the play-offs to fight for a place in eight-team finals, which takes place in Israel next year. 


Geraint Williams' men reached the hour mark trailing to Filip Novak's early opener, however four goals in the space of 19 minutes sealed the emphatic victory.


Tomas Wagner and Ondrej Vanek struck first, before substituteStanislav Tecl added the final two goals, one coming from the penalty spot.


Right-back Freeman, who is 20, signed from local rivals Nottingham Forest for an undisclosed fee last month, made his first appearance in the Rams' squad during the side's 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Molineux. 


Previously capped at Wales Under 17 and Under 19 level, Freeman has seven Under 21 caps to his name.
