Swizerland v. Czech Republic:

The first game of Euro 2008 saw hosts Swizerland play strong football to a huge home crowd in the Basle stadium. The Swiss looked determined from the off and after only three minutes the Czechs give the ball away in midfield and Swiss striker Frei grabs the opportunity to take the first shot of the tournament, powering it past the woodwork. On the 20 minute mark, dangerous captain Frei pulls a sneaky backheal to midfielder Gokhan Inler but the shot is no problem for the magalithic Cech.

It takes more than half an hour for the Czechs to start playing to form and the Swiss work them hard. Frei takes a formidable shot from 30 yards and Cech fluffs the save by punching with his wrist to an (fortunately for the Chelsea keeper) offside Swiss attacker.
