La Roja, of which only Alvaro Morata retained his starting place compared to the eleven winners in Switzerland (1-0) on Thursday, opened the scoring through Carlos Soler, quicker than the Czech defense to convert the center of Marco Asensio (24th ).
The Spaniards, who confiscated the ball for long minutes of conservation, created a cascade of chances, but sinned in the finish (26th, 27th).
Finally, Pablo Sarabia, barely entered the game, made the break at the end of a quick transition (75th), on a tense cross from Ferran Torres, also a substitute at kick-off.
The Czechs never seemed able to challenge the superiority of their host even if their start to the second half deserved a better fate.
Unai Simon then had to work to preserve the clean sheet of Roja by coming out of an exceptional parade the strike of Alex Kral (67th).
Thanks to this success, Luis Henrique's team takes first place in the group in Portugal with 8 points against 7. The Czechs remain third, 4 lengths behind their opponent.
