The video referee of the match was Ondřej Berka. “I’m so unlucky with him. Even though he’s two meters tall, I’m not afraid of him. I think he was just drinking coffee or falling asleep, he’s probably used to this game. But the players told me it was a foul, “said Jablonec coach Petr Rada, who briefly led Sparta before his engagement in Jablonec.
Only after half an hour of the game did the Prague team endanger the Jablonec goal, Hložek recorded for Pešek, but he overshot it significantly in front of the small lime line. Silný, on the other hand, had a terrible day, but Holec’s shot went wide.
At the end of the opening act, Malínský got rid of Wiesner in the lime, but did not burn Holce with a hard shot from an angle. In the setting, the visiting goalkeeper dealt with Považancova’s jumping shot from behind the penalty area more than twice.
In the 56th minute, the former Spartan striker Kadlec took the place of the home midfielder Pleštil. Ten minutes later, his former teammate Čvančara, who failed more than twice, rushed at Hanuš.
The duel seemed to be making a goal go-ahead, but in the 81st minute the home team struck. Nykrín found a substitute from Silný’s corner and he didn’t give Holc a chance with his header. The 27-year-old forward rejoiced at the first league goal of his career. Jablonec scored the 19th goal in the season of the highest competition and still has the worst attack of the league.
“I’m glad it mainly fell there. If it’s against Sparta or Hradec, it doesn’t matter, I’d be just as happy. Too bad it’s a point. It would be a big euphoria if we won,” said Strong.
In four minutes, he leveled Čvančar. Hanuš still managed with Höjer’s header around the corner, but he was no longer enough for Čvančar’s stop. The Spartan striker scored his seventh hit in the season of the highest competition, a week ago he scored two goals for Jablonec in a cup duel.
The Letna team did not beat the North Bohemians in the league for the third time in a row and did not win the highest competition in the same number of matches. Jablonec is the draw king of the league year with 11 draw.
“We believed that we would keep it, because it is very difficult to get there in this terrain. But in the standard situation we do not guard Čvančara, which is wrong. Sparta is Sparta, we appreciate the point. If we were complete, we would have played it. Unfortunately, it did not work out, “stated the Council.
