Report from the match LASK Linz – Slavia Praha: statistics, report
Thanks to a successful first match, Slavia did not have much reason to rush forward and Linz could not miss a significant opportunity. Therefore, the spectators saw the first chance and a straight goal in the 24th minute. The visiting goalkeeper Mandous stopped the developing attack Linz in the middle of the field and immediately established an offensive maneuver of his team, which ended up in the home team’s route along the route Lingr – Olayinka.
After half an hour of play, Yiza Sor flooded Linz’s defense for the first time. After Traore’s penetrating pass, he rushed alone at Schlager’s goalkeeper, whom he got rid of, but he kicked the ball too far ahead and Potzmann kicked him to safety in front of an empty goal.
Slavia walked comfortably in the first half towards the quarterfinals and was a better team on the field. Michorl came close to leveling the score 36 minutes into the game, as he was set up with a through ball coming in from the left, but his shot hit the post. However, Wiesinger came close to scoring an opportunity to score the 1 – 1 goal after he saw his shot go between the legs of the advancing goalkeeper and into the net, following some good attacking movement on the right wing after 80 minutes.
In Slavie’s jersey, however, a man named Yira Sor ran on the field. Immediately after the pass, he started on the left wing of his fast leg, escaped the defended territory, pulled the ball of good territory, pulled the pass found in Baha and the Danish back comfortably returned the lead to the side.
Although Slavia had the revenge completely in her hands, before leaving for the locker rooms, coach Trpišovský had to deal with a significant complication. Stoper Ousou saw the second yellow card in the 42nd minute and the Czech champion went weak.
Slavia easily held before the final half of the double match, but still in the second half carefully and did not want to leave anything in the weakening to chance. In addition, Sor kept moving to the attack in the 62nd minute, kicking the ball, escaping the defenders and sending Slavia into a two-goal lead with an accurate shot.
I believe that Linz players did not give up the tragic development of the eight-finals and wanted to use the power they gained at the end of the first half. A quarter of an hour before the end, Wiesinger caught a shot from afar with the inattentive Mandouse and reduced it to 2: 3.
The seemingly calm advancement match gained a rapid decline in the final ten minutes. It all started with Plavšič stepping on the Netherlands, for which the Serbian midfielder saw a red card and Slavia weakened twice.
In addition, Linz threw all his forces into the attack with two men on the field, hoping to miraculously turn a generous double match into goals. A glimmer of hope for the home was immediately shot by Gruber, who had the best orientation in the scrum after a direct kick and did not give Mandous a chance with an accurate shot.
The hosts were in the mood and did not give up their mission impossible. Two minutes after the equalizer, Schmidt scored from the unfortunate Mandouse and sent Linz to a 4: 3 lead. However, he did not send him to the quarterfinals of the Conference League, which Slavia will play despite the loss.
