I wanted to score a goal today. Of the three chances, the biggest mess fell there, says Zdeněk Ondrášek

After three days, Šilhavý’s charges took the start of Sunday’s duel with Israel via a copier. One difference in the match with the Slovaks was … After the opportunity of Matějů and two chances by Ondrášek, during which the goalkeeper Rodák shone with brilliant interventions, who was helped by the stick of his goal in the sixth minute, helped themselves to the leading goal with a standard situation.
The temporary coach of the Slovak national team, Štefan Tarkovič, claimed before the match that both teams knew each other so well that they had nothing to surprise, the header Souček still surprised the guests. Even with their contribution, because during the corner kick they left him time and space to jump and the legionary from West Ham punished them.
Czech footballers rejoice at the leading goal against Slovakia.

Deservedly, because the Czech team playing in the same line-up as on Sunday had a clear upper hand in the opening half hour, active play, extended presink and constant attack and a good combination of the opponent played, so Souček’s shot was an interest in the superiority he created.
The news that I was going there scared me a little. The nervousness was, but the first procedure helped, admitted Tomáš Koubek

Until the collected goal, the Slovaks, acting very screaming, woke up a bit. But really only a little, because they kept thinking mainly about the defense, which was, of course, very inconsistent. Gyömbér, in particular, gave the emphatic and rude Ondrášek a lot of space.
The guests then practically did not attack the attack at all. The only hot moment was brought in Vaclík’s sixteen Mak, whose center Coufal kicked to the corner. The scorer of the promotion goal in the match with the Northern Irish Ďuriš was too lonely and cut off at the tip to pose any danger on his return to the lawn, where he had been performing in the Pilsen jersey for years.

The good movement and active presink of the Czech players caused the Slovaks problems that they could not deal with either in the first half or after the change of sides.
Although Pekarík got more than a promising shooting opportunity four minutes after the break after Kucky’s great penetration, Vaclík’s substitute Koubek liquidated it and in six minutes the guests in Pilsen were already ringing the edge.

The substitute Černý found Ondrášek an ideal pass, who, with the help of Gyömbér’s flow, defeated the young legionary from London’s Fulham Rodák for the second time.
There was nothing left to solve, because a properly calmed Czech team controlled and controlled the game to the very end, without admitting the slightest complications. After the performance, which was the best of the three matches in November, he won quite deservedly, while only having a two-goal difference due to the number of chances did not have to remain.
And when word came from Israel that the Scots had lost 0: 1 in a parallel match, the joy of winning could be exacerbated by the euphoria of advancing among the European football elite in the first division.
The Slovaks’ fourth loss to the Czech national team in a row hurt all the more because in Pilsen it was their jubilee third match, after which they also said goodbye to the second division of the League of Nations and descended the competition lower.
