Another painful loss for Sparta. Pilsen won a narrow victory in Liberec
If Slavia can win Sunday’s match at Slovácko, they will return to the top of the table, two points ahead of Pilsen.
Sparta – Zlín 0:0
After a five-match disciplinary punishment for stepping on the head of Liberec goalkeeper Vliegen, representative striker Kuchta returned straight to Sparta’s starting line-up. He had a great opportunity, but he didn’t use it. The running Rakovan squeezed the ball just outside the goal. In the set-up, he went alone to the Spartan goalkeeper Holka, who was replacing Silný, but did not succeed. Prague have not won at home in the top flight in five of their last six matches. “Shoemakers” have not won 18 consecutive duels away from home in the league since last August.
