The Spartans started better in front of more than 14,000 spectators in a stormy environment. Juroška played with his hand in the designated area and Haraslín converted the penalty in the 22nd minute. But shortly before the break, Kaloč answered, surprising the visiting goalkeeper Kovář with a ground shot.
In the beginning of the second half, Spartan Zelený failed to convert a promising chance, but in the 66th minute, the Praguers were in the lead again. After a big jam from the penalty spot, he gave the owner Frydrych, whose goal remained Almási had previously headed into the post. Letenští added the third goal in the 77th minute, when Kuchta, in cooperation with alternating attackers, ideally found Čvančara to finish.
Kuchta hit the crossbar with a lob and in the second minute of added time, Kuzmanovič dramatized the match, finishing with a header from Kaloč’s cross. However, Baník could not do more and did not beat Sparta in the 15th competitive match in a row.
Hlúčín ends, there was no play in Budějovice
Hlučín, who sensationally knocked out the champions Pilsen in the last round, scored in Ďolíček in the seventh minute after Krch’s header from a corner. Bohemians also got to the beginning of the second half and between the 48th and 51st minutes, Mužík s Hůlka increased the score. The lead of the “kangaroos” could have been increased by Květ, but the domestic midfielder did not score the 12th competitive goal in the first, as he hit the post twice.
The round of 16 match between České Budějovice and Hradec Králové was postponed due to bad weather. The representatives of České Budějovice tried to prepare for adverse conditions with regard to the forecast. On Friday morning, they turned on the heating under the lawn to the highest level, but even that didn’t help in the end. Layers of wet snow combined with low temperatures made the match impossible. Both clubs will therefore look for an alternative date at the beginning of next week.
