In the 15th minute of an international encounter Czech Republic - San Marino 7:0, played in Liberec, Jankulovski hit the crossbar, Marek Kulič handled the bounced ball safely at the border of the penalty area and shot excellently. San Marino's goalkeeper Valentini did not manage to react in time and the Czech football history has seen a brand new name - Marek Kulič scored his first goal in the national team! It was the opening one of a cannonade during the qualifying match for the Euro 2008 and naturally, the striker has been very happy about it.

"I scored a similar goal here against Slovan Liberec in the last league match of the past season" Hopefully, the premier goal has cut off the present goal lent of the captain of Mladá Boleslav. In the new season, he was happy that the national team coach, Karel Brückner, recognized his performance but at the same time he was worried for not playing his best during the league matches. In the nine champion rounds played so far, he had not once hit the rival's goal.
"I am very glad for that first goal in the national team and I hope that I have finally broken my autumn scoring misfortune and that it will also continue this way in the league. But the thing I am happiest about is that I was in the opening line-up from the beginning of this qualifying match" said contented Marek Kulič after the Saturday's match Czech Republic - San Marino. There is no time to celebrate his first goal in the national team as well as the birth of recently born son of Matějovský, his team-mate from Mladá Boleslav.
