The added time of the conference league duel in Stavanger was already running, when the captain of the Czech team Dávid Hancko botched a pass to goalkeeper Dominik Holec. After a schoolboy mistake, an avalanche hit this duo.

In the end, Sparta lost 1:2 in Norway and after a goalless result at home, they said goodbye to the European cups for this season. And it was caused by two Slovaks. “It is a shame. A dark period will now begin for the Spartans,” former Czechoslovak representative Ladislav Vízek told iSport.cz.

According to him, the aforementioned error will have fatal consequences for the operation of the entire club. The fact is that instead of millions in prizes, the most famous Czech team will take home only 450,000 euros from participating in the cups.
“I’m not a supporter of such swag at the back, this has to be played simply. It was a failure of both Hanck and the goalkeeper,” said Vízek. “Even though I’m not a Spartan, I feel sorry for them. I didn’t wish them this.”
Jiří Fejgl, a football expert of the daily newspaper Sport, gave the Slovakian pair a shot. “There was an interplay of errors, with Hancko having a greater share. He senselessly pulled the ball under him and didn’t look where Holec was standing,” he stated for iSport.cz.

National team defender Hancko and goalkeeper Holec now have to endure harsh criticism from the fans as well. “Hancko wants to leave the club, so he simply arranged it,” Petr Peters Gaizl wrote on Facebook.
“As a celebrant, I don’t really know how to perceive it. After the excess of Hancka, the mischievousness breaks with me a little. But it’s just bad for Czech football,” said fan Martin Mazel.
