The Czechs piled early pressure on Greece, which played without two key central defenders.
Jiracek shot the ball past Greece goalkeeper Costas Chalkias in the third minute after a pass from Tomas Hubschmann sliced through the Greek defense. Three minutes later, Pilar scored his second goal of the tournament, beating Greek defenders to a ball sent across the goal by Czech Republic defender Theodor Gebre Selassie.
Giorgos Fotakis headed a shot past Czech Republic goalkeeper Petr Cech in the 41st but it was ruled offside.
