World champions Germany faced a double header during the first worldwide break of the 2017-18 season as Joachim Low looked to steer his team towards qualifying for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russian Federation.
Joachim Low's side won the Confederations Cup with a B team in July and will put themselves on the verge of another summer in Russian Federation with victory over the Czechs.
Germany coach Joachim Loew was not in a celebratory mood after the inexperienced Czechs put his team under pressure in the second half. Totally the teams Germany and the Czech Republic has played seven matches head to head in which five matches won by Germany and two matches won the Czech Republic. They host Norway in Stuttgart on Monday but before that faced a testing trip to the 21,000 Eden Stadium in Prague.
Germany kept cruising toward the World Cup in Russia, England edged closer, and Poland's unbeaten run was decisively ended on Friday.
The other TV channel which broadcast the live match Germany vs the Czech Republic is Sony Ten.
Low's side began kick-off sitting pretty at the top of Group C on 18 points after winning six out of six.
Engand maintained its two-point advantage over Slovakia, who beat visiting Slovenia 1-0.

Germany has yet to drop a point six matches into qualification and enters as favorites, with a five-point lead on second-place Northern Ireland in Group C. Czech Republic sits nine points behind Germany and needs to steal a point or three to keep pace for a top-three spot in the group.
Czech Republic came out firing in the second half as the likes of Jakub Jankto and Jan Boril had chances in the opening 15 minutes.
The group winners qualify directly for Russian Federation while the eight best second-placed teams in the nine groups go into a playoff round. It will be guaranteed first place with a home win over Norway on Monday and if second-place Northern Ireland fails to beat the Czechs on the same night.
