Prague – The football players of Prague’s Slavia won the 28th round of the first league over Pardubice 4: 0. The defending champion took advantage of Saturday’s start of Pilsen in Olomouc and jumped the point ahead of Victoria to the top of the table. Lukáš Provod opened the scoring in Eden today in the 41st minute, who increased the score shortly after the change of sides. In the 62nd minute, Ivan Schranz hit and in the end Ibrahim Traoré took over.
Slavia followed the autumn outdoor victory over Pardubice 5: 0 and won the third of four league dueles so far. The Red and Whites did not score in one of the last 64 matches of the highest competition in Eden and were in the best mood for Thursday’s rematch of the quarterfinals of the European Conference League against Feyenoord Rotterdam. The people of Pardubice as the only team did not win in the nine spring rounds and in the penultimate place of the table they lose three points to the fourteenth Teplice.
Slavia started with nine changes in the starting line-up compared to Thursday’s 3: 3 draw in Rotterdam with Feyenoord in the opening quarterfinals of the European Conference League. Mandous returned to the poles, and at the tip of the attack he was given the chance of Fila for the first time since his arrival in Eden. Pardubice coaches also deployed two young league debutants Hanče and Mareš.
The Red and Whites entered the match in a big thrust and did not let the guests in half in the opening minutes. In the 12th minute, Schranz sprinted to a great chance, but Letáčka did not lose from the right side. The people of Prague did not benefit from the initial pressure of the leadership in the middle of the first half they could collect. Vacek got a break in front of Mandous after a knock-down, but he didn’t lose the home goalkeeper.
The East Bohemians dared in the second part of the opening act and Slavia did not dominate so much. After half an hour of play, Jurásek found Provod in the center from the left, but he missed in a huge chance. The home midfielder didn’t see it until the 41st minute. The seventeen-year-old Hanč foolishly fouled Ousou in the corner of the lime, and Provod sent a shot from the penalty to the opposite pole than where Letáček jumped. The national team midfielder scored for the first time since his recent return to the lawns after an injury.
The people of Pardubice had one more great opportunity to dramatize the duel. In the 52nd minute, he pushed to the head of Kostka and the home team held Mandous for the second time in the match. In two minutes, the Slavists insured their difference. In the lime, Fila cleverly tapped the ball with Provod, who headed for the bar. For the first time in his career, the best player of last league season scored two goals in one match of the highest competition.
In the 62nd minute, the people of Prague prevailed for the third time. The emphatic Schranz pushed into Plavšič’s center from the left side and scored his ninth goal in the league year. Immediately after renumbering, Plavšič’s attempt Letáček set off, on the other side Mandous struck against the alternating Matějk from a similar position. The home goalkeeper then dealt with a shot by Kostka.
In the last 16 minutes, the healed Slavic midfielder Ševčík also got into the game. Another substitute player added the fourth goal of the Prague team in the 84th minute. Tecl didn’t convert a separate escape, but he cleared his pass to Traoré’s exposed goal. A midfielder from Côte d’Ivoire hit everyone in the league for the third time.
