The shooter was silent, collecting twice from Morelos. Sparta fell on Rangers and EL will not advance – Czech Television – Czech Television
In the final match of the main stage of the European League, the Letna team will compete with Bröndby at home on December 9 to advance from third place to the playoffs of the newly formed European Conference League. Sparta has a two-point difference between the reigning Danish champion.
“Of course I’m disappointed. Mainly because we wanted to play in the European League until the last round. We lost the match by giving our opponents a second goal. I’m also disappointed that we didn’t change the three or four chances in the end. one, “said Spartan coach Pavel Vrba.
Both goals of the “riders” were shot in front of 48,370 spectators by Alfredo Morelos. The Colombian striker first opened in the 15th minute, adding a fuse shortly after the change of sides, when he caught the pass of stopper Filip Panák. The Rangers, who were led by their former player Giovanni van Bronckhorst for the first time after coach Steven Gerrard left for Aston Villa, advanced from the European group for the third season in a row.
“I evaluate the match very positively. We showed a very good performance for the whole 90 minutes. I am proud of the team for reacting to Sunday’s defeat with Hibernian 1: 3 (in the Scottish League Cup). We have only had two training sessions behind us. For us as a club, it is amazing that after the winter break we will continue the competition, “said van Bronckhorst.
Holec unexpectedly entered the Spa goal, presenting himself only in the winning duel of the 3rd round of the home cup in Teplice (2: 0) at the end of October. Ladislav Krejčí Jr. stood next to Panák as a stopper.
Kamara, a dark-skinned midfielder from whom the children competed in Letná Bučely, was not missing from the home team. The Finnish national team did not finish the match after the red color. At that time, due to the disciplinary punishment for racism, some fans in the August match of the 3rd preliminary round of the Champions League with Monaco lacked adult fans, who were almost 11,000 children.
Today, about forty spectators supported Sparta in the guest sector. Unlike the guests, the Rangers knelt before the kick-off to support the fight against racism.
They created their first chance in six minutes at home. Kent got into the top 16 over several players and got Arib, who hit the crossbar with a sharp blow. The “riders” still left the guests useless and took the lead after a quarter of an hour of play. In the fall, Hagi passed to Morelos at the edge of the lime, who was not mistaken for a ground shot.
The record number of fifty-five-time Scottish champions was almost, but Ariba, close to Hagi’s center, ended up above. A moment later, Haraslín finished from an angle in front of the goal, but the goalkeeper McGregor Minčev’s shot went to the corner.
After a change of sides, Kent’s shot on the far pole ended right next door. But then followed by Sparta’s pass, a huge mistake was made by the stopper Panák, whose center on Krejčí Jr. was inserted by Morelos’s head and increased to 2: 0.
“I think it was a gross mistake and it is one he cannot afford. We will definitely blame him. It is often not seen to get such a cheap goal. The situation on his part was very badly played,” Vrba remarked. “A goal has become a mistake that happens in football. We have to recover from it, it belongs to football,” Holec added.
Eventually, Kent rushed at the Girl, but the Spartan goalkeeper thwarted his attempt. After 65 minutes Morelos made a speedy advance and dropped the ball to Holec who shuffled it past the keeper. Aribo didn’t succeed either.
After 76 minutes, Karlsoona came in from the right, feinted, then sped past the off-balance defender to make the score 1 – 0, giving Karabec the lead. In the end, the Spartans pursued a contact shot that would stay in the fight for promotion from second place. However, McGregor caught the head of Krejčí Jr. and the stop of the alternating Pulkrab. “When we led 2-0, it was important not to cash in. McGregor performed brilliant interventions at the right time,” said van Bronckhorst.
The Prague team lost to the Scottish team in the European Cups after seven matches for the first time since October 1991, when they lost to Ibrox. The Letna team did not win the cups for the sixth time in a row, of which they scored five defeats.
