Virtual Ďolíček – official website of Bohemians Prague 1905
The kangaroos defeated the Sparta B team after the goals of Nazarov and Koubek.
The Kangaroos started the first preparatory match from the beginning with new faces Nazarov and Mareček. Sparta had his first chance, but Valebl caught Ambler’s head at the right post. Soon, Sejk was very close to scoring when he could have closed the game off, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park.
On the other side, Vala centered on the back post, but Nový fired over the goal. Koubek was close to the goal, but he headed a little above the crossbar. Novák then fired from the limit of sixteen, but the technical shot between the three poles did not fly. A few minutes before the break, Vala was still firing from an angle, but Kotek guarded the space on the front bar and hit the corner.
Then the Kangaroos struck. Novák tapped the ball to Nazarov, inside the penalty area with an accurate shot to the left post behind the led leaders of the Bohemians. After the break, traditionally both teams started in different elevens.
At the beginning of the second half, they grew the Green and White for the second time. After a cross from the corner, Nazarov headed to the bar, but Koubek quickly orientated himself and knocked the ball into the net. The border assistant signaled the offside position of the scoring attacker. The situation was still reviewed by a video referee and for the first time the tested “offside line” got into the action. After the consultation, the main judge finally acknowledged the goal, and so the Kangaroos led by two goals.
In the second half, Bohemka was mainly on the ball and she could rejoice for the third time. Chramosta fired in the lime after a presink, but the goalkeeper Tůma set off the shot brilliantly. Kozák finished for Sparta, but missed the Bohemians goal.
The Kangaroos won the opening match of the Tipsport League and kept a clean sheet.
