Hello, welcome to watching the online broadcast of the match of the 17th round of the football Fortuna: League between Sigma Olomouc and Sparta Prague. The match starts on Saturday, January 28 at 6 p.m.
The wait is over. After two and a half months, football Fortuna:Liga returns. The last time it was played on Czech lawns was the second week of November, after which there was a global break due to the World Cup in Qatar. But now the carousel of matches will be in full swing and we can expect very interesting plots. The fight for the title is open, the rest of the competition is balanced. For example, the 14th team loses only 8 points to 4. After a few years, Sparta Prague would also like to enter the fight for the title. The latter was third after the fall with a loss of five points to Slavia and seven to the leader Plzeň. But the spring part will start for the Letenský zostro, because they are waiting for a fight on the ground of the fourth Olomouc.
At the end of October, the Prague team suffered a cruel defeat 0:4 in the derby, and it seemed that it would be difficult to recover from it. But a big turn came and the last three duels poured new blood into the veins of the Leten players. Coach Příske came up with a 3-4-3 formation and things started to happen. After a responsible performance, Sparta first won in Pilsen 1:0, then at home they blasted Slovácko 4:0 and also succeeded in the home match with České Budějovice, which was complicated by fog. Although it is losing ground before the spring season, nothing is lost. And that’s not even in the MOL Cup, where the lottery awarded Liberec to the quarterfinals.
In addition, Sparta strengthened massively during the winter break. Especially abroad, where four players came from. Serbian defender Dimitrije Kamenovič came from Lazio Rome, Finnish midfielder Kaan Kairinen from Norwegian Lilleström, Albanian Qazim Laci from French Ajaccio also came as a backup. Australian winger Awer Mabil also came to Letná from Cádiz, Spain. It will be interesting to see how all the reinforcements take hold, in the general game against Nuremberg only Kairinen played from the beginning. But Sparta overcame the German opponent and after a 3:1 win, the restart of the season is really well prepared.
In this line-up, Sparta Prague will jump in today. Not one of the foreign reinforcements made it into the starting line-up today, they all start on the bench. The talented Adam Karabec didn’t fit there either. In the already traditional 3-4-3 formation, Sörensen, Panák and Vitík will play in the defensive trio, Wiesner and Zelený will take care of the edges of the field. Sadílek and captain Krejčí will operate in the center of the field. The trio of Haraslín, Kuchta, Čvančara then enters the front. Pavelka, Čelůstka, Höjer and Pešek cannot play due to injuries.

Olomouc did not start the season perfectly, but then came a turning point. Since mid-September, the club from Hané has lost only one game in Teplice, beating Slavia at home, for example. In the autumn, Sigma ended with two wins, in which they scored 3 times each time. However, the whole winter break was discussed as to whether the best scorer Mojmír Chytil would leave for Slavia. He has remained in Olomouc for the time being, but Slavia boss Jaroslav Tvrdí claims that the clubs have agreed and the striker will come to Eden at the end of this season.
The home team will really use the services of Mojmír Chytil today. This will be supported by Růska, Zifčák and Navrátil, behind whom captain Breite and Ventúr will play. Then Vráštil, Pokorný, Beneš and Zmrzlý jump in on defense.
After the break, the leader of Plzeň did not succeed. They lost at home to Hradec Králové 1:2, and Sparta can thus recover the loss on the leader of the table. Tomorrow he can go to the first league Slavia. At home, on the other hand, Slovácko succeeded against Český Budějovice and Bohemians against Teplice.
Both teams are already at Androva Stadium. The home team will play in blue, Sparta in the away kit of yellow jerseys. The match will be refereed by Miroslav Zelinka.
The match has just started.
2
It looks like the home team is also playing with three stoppers, which are Pokorný, Beneš and Vraštil, with Zmrzlý and Zifčák playing wingbacks. Breite and Ventura will hold the center and in front of them will be the trio Navrátil, Růsek, Chytil.
6
She caught Sörensen in an excellent position and even managed to get a foul.
9
he looked for Chyte in the box with a cross, but Vitík deflected the ball away with his head.
10
Sparta starts the spring part of the season very well. Haraslín pulled the ball nicely and passed her colleagues from the attack to Čvančar. He stretched out ten from about 18 meters and hit his excellent shot with the help of the stick just past the helpless goalkeeper Trefil.
13
Asger Sörensen cannot continue due to injury, youngster Patrik Vydra replaced her on the pitch.
18
Sigma tries after conceding a goal, but Sparta defends very well in the block and does not let the opponent into the game.
26
Even the standard situation did not help Sigma to have a better chance. Sparta does not dominate by any means, but it controls the game well, mainly thanks to its excellent defense.
30
After the great defensive work of Sadílek, the Leten team went into a promising break, but the central Krejčí did not understand Kuchta in the box.
36
Passage of three corners from Olomouc and less pressure, but Sparta works excellently in its lime and does not allow the opponent to have a chance.
41
Sparta got a kick at the end of the half. In the last ten minutes, she rather defended and in the end it could be the second goal. Brejk brought it to near perfection, mainly thanks to the individual fitness of Lukáš Haraslín. The latter got rid of Pokorný with a bang, made a tackle on the goalkeeper Trefil and fell after a fight with him.
43
Watch out, big change. The penalty will not be kicked after checking the video, in addition, Haraslín received a yellow card for the fact that he added a lot to the fall after the fight with Trefil.
45
4 minutes will be set.
45+1
So it’s not Sparta that scores a goal in the locker room, but Sigma on the contrary. Olomouc punished the lack of emphasis in a certain area. Růsek succeeded in a duel with Panák, and Jan Navrátil then acrobatically sent the ball over Kovař’s head.
The first half is in the past, the score is tied 1:1.
The first half did not offer a completely dazzling spectacle for a long time. Sparta got off to an excellent start when Čvančara opened the scoring with a nice shot from behind the goal. Olomouc held the ball for a long time after that, but Sparta’s defense worked perfectly. In the 41st minute, Haraslín won a penalty, but after watching the video, referee Zelinka called it off. Three minutes later, Navrátil punished the lackluster play of Leten’s defense and equalized. Most of it happened at the end of the half, which also promises an interesting and open start to the second half.
The second half has just started.
49
Sigma is planning a similar pressure at the beginning of the half as at the end of the first half. Zifčák found Růsk behind the defense, but Panák stopped his cross at the last moment.
50
However, one of the most active players of the home team, Antonín Růsek, is being treated by the medical team.
52
The lipstick is already going on, plus Sigma got another option. This time he came back underneath Breite, but the home captain did not hit the ball perfectly from a good position.
55
This time, the scorer of the guests, Tomáš Čvančara, is being treated. He was in a sharp fight with Vraštil. It was a two-sided fight, but Olomouc apparently injured the Spartan attacker by falling on his head.
58
Already the second forced change in Sparta’s squad. Tomáš Čvančara is carried away on a stretcher and cannot continue in the match. On the pitch, he just replaced the new man in the squad, Australian winger Awer Mabil.
61
Another hot moment in Sparta’s switch-off. Růsek again sent a cross shot from the right side, but Navrátil was too close to Kovář and could not shoot it from close range.
63
Jan Navrátil finished today and can be satisfied, because he scored today. Filip Zorvan replaced him on the lawn.
67
Mabil was looking for Kuchta in the box, but Beneš took good care of him.
69
Mabil could have benefited from the good work of Kuchta, but the shot from 20 meters did not fit him and the ball went wide.
70
Less pressure from Sparta, in the end Sadílek shot from the right corner of the box after a jam, but the ground ball hit exactly where the goalkeeper Trefil was standing.
74
Patrik Vydra caught Olomouc’s fast break at the last moment and saw a yellow card after a tactical lapse.
75
Brian Priske immediately prepared a triple change. Mejdr will play the right wingback instead of Wiesner, Minčev replaced Kuchta at the point and the new man Kamenovič also got into the game. He replaced the young Otter.
82
The game is more open in the last minutes, but we didn’t see a big chance after several changes.
86
Denis Ventúra left the pitch and was replaced by Jan Vodháněl. Probably the most active player of the match, Antonín Růsek, also finished, Jiří Spáčil replaced him.
90
It will take 8 minutes to set up.
90+4
He made his way into the box excellently. He caught it, but he only won a corner.
90+3
Just before that, goalkeeper Trefil received a yellow card for delaying the game.
90+7
Sigma is more active in the end, Zmrzlý’s cross was deflected by the visiting defense to Vodháněl, but his shot went over the goal.
90+9
A tactical error by Žifčák stopped Sparta’s break.
90+10
One more change from coach Jílek. Tomáš Zlatohlávek replaces Zrzlý in convulsions.
90+10
The shot did not agree with the defense, but Haraslín’s scissors did not bring a goal. However, Sparta will not play the corner.
90+11
At the end of the game, Sparta was able to win for their side. Filip Panák was left alone at the back post, but only hit the post with his head.
It’s over, the match ends in a 1:1 draw after 101 minutes.
The start of the spring season of Fortuna:League apparently did not catch the favorites in their best form. Pilsen ended without a point and Sparta also attributed the loss. The team in Olomouc led from the tenth minute, but then let the opponent play and concentrated only on honest defending. Before the break, a penalty came in the form of Navrátil’s goal.
Even in the second act, Sigma was more than a balanced opponent and had many interesting options. But Filip Panák had the biggest one in the 11th minute. However, the Spartan stopper only hit the post behind Trefil. Letenští thus take away Hané’s body for an apparently well-deserved draw. The hesitancy of Pilsen and Sparta will want to punish Slavia tomorrow.
That’s all from me for now, thank you for your attention and have a nice rest of the evening.
