Jozef Weber, coach of České Budějovice, logically could not be satisfied with the performance of his charges after the 1:6 debacle at Slavia: “Lately, everyone here has been getting picked on, we were next in line. We have to appreciate the excellent performance of Slavia, who outplayed us in every way. We made a lot of mistakes, we sporadically got into the attack. For the first 17 minutes, we kind of held on. Goal I’m taking it from the standard, that’s a personal mistake, Tecl jumped high. But then we gifted Slavia those goals, we basically passed them four out of six ourselves. Paradoxically, the biggest chances that Slavia had were caught by the goalkeeper Janáček, we got the goals from such birdies . After the expulsion, it was already counting down the seconds to the end. A well-deserved win for Slavia, they outplayed us in everything, today we were not good enough for them in anything. We made them a sparring partner.” (ČTK) |
David Jurásek returned to the Slavia line-up in style today after a fever that prevented him from playing on the pitch in Sivas, and midfielder Petr Ševčík was absent today due to a virus. A team spokesperson clarified. (slavia.cz) |

Although Sparta led by two goals after forty minutes in Teplice, they did not win again and recorded their fourth draw in a row after a 2:2 result. “Everyone in the team is doing everything to win. In the last matches, I can’t fault anyone in terms of attitude. We also created enough chances. Today we had a decision about the third goal in the second half. But we don’t make the right decisions in moments, and that both offensively and defensively. We are in Sparta and the expectations are higher, we also expect more from ourselves. We brought Matěj Kovář because I believe he is better than our goalkeepers. I am satisfied with his debut, it was not an easy match for him . He seems very calm with the ball and during interventions.” Spartan coach Brian Priske assessed. (ČTK) |
Results of today’s Czech league matches: Olomouc – Pilsen 2:3 (13. and 65. Chytil – 10. and 34. from pen. Chorý, 68. Havel), Zlín – Brno 2:3 (68. Janetzký, 82. Dramé – 19. and 50. from pen. Řezníček, 59. Ševčík), Teplice – Sparta 2:2 (42nd and 83rd Gningue – 16th Jankto, 40th Čvančara). |
Before the end of the first half, Sparta leads in Teplice, where Jakub Jankto made his mark, scoring his first goal in FORTUNA:LIZE. |
Pilsen managed a difficult match in Olomouc and moved to first place. “I expected it to be a battle, because it’s always a difficult match here, and today it was confirmed again. We managed the first half very well. We had an excellent start, we combined well, we didn’t let the opponent do anything and we scored a goal. It’s a shame such unlucky goals for us to make it 1-1. I think we played very well until the 60th minute. We scored three goals in the game and had other chances which we didn’t convert. Even so, we resisted their pressure and I think we deservedly went home we will take three points” said Pilsen coach Michal Bílek after the match. (ČTK) |
