Vlach elbowed Zaťovič in the head and neck area in the fifth minute of Tuesday’s seventeenth round, which Liberec clearly won 5:0 on the ice of Komety, for which he received a penalty in the game by referees Mrkva and Ondráček .
However, it is not the only sanction, the head of the disciplinary rushed with another two days later. “He attacked Zaťovič from the side in a vulnerable position, when he hit him mainly in the head and neck area with his right elbow, and he didn’t concentrate in any way on making the pass difficult, but from the beginning of the la run-up to the tackle, clearly proceeded with the intention and intent to strike Zaťovič with all its intensity,” Ujčík said. With that, Vlach had sole responsibility for ensuring that his intervention did not recklessly endanger the health of the opponent and did not hit the area of his head, which he did not do in this case.
And also because Vlach had been disciplined for the past two years, Ujčík barred him from playing for five competitive matches and additionally imposed a financial fine of ten percent of his monthly salary. Vlach will thus lose matches with Sparta, Č. Budějovice, Pardubice, K. Vary and Vítkovice. He won’t be able to return to the field until December 6 against Sparta.
On Vítkovic’s initiative, Ujčík also faced the intervention of Pardubice defender David Musil in Tuesday’s slalom, which Dynamo won 5:4 after the forays. In the 39th minute, Musil attacked Petr Fridrich on the goal post and received a minor penalty for a tackle on the block. However, Ujčík did not agree with the Ostrava club’s opinion on the additional punishment and stopped proceedings with Musil.
Kometa was later fined 15,000 kroner for the behavior of its fans at the Hradec Králové match played on 6 November. Brno fans used fireworks in their sector twice, and it was already the second such action on their part this season.
