„In the 16th min. the referee had to disqualify the away player for the raw game – kicking the opponent in the head. This intervention endangered the opponent’s health. The referee and VAR, who had to intervene in this case, made a gross mistake, “said the jury after the match on the official twitter account.

What happened? It ran for the 16th minute, when Sparta Captain Bořek Dočkal hit David Houska’s kick in the head near the guests’ bench. There was no intention in that, but he caused a laceration to the landlord’s midfielder. The fouled player then finished the match with a swaying head and several stitches …

The hosts and guests immediately gathered around the sinner and arbitrator Black. Captain Sparta defended himself by saying that Houska was leaning forward and his head was too low. “I don’t know how high my head was. Borek shouted that he had her lower, but I don’t know, I didn’t see it. There were a lot of interesting situations that were judged the way they were, “commented Sparta coach Pavel Vrba.

The home team demanded red cards for the raw game. “I was very surprised that he didn’t get it. There are eight such fouls anywhere and eight are red. And here the ninth intervention is exactly the same, at least as I saw it from the field, and the red is not. Bořek said that his leg was low, but in my opinion he still jumped during the operation, “said the author of the Jablonec goal, Jan Strong.

Judge Dalibor Černý gave Dočkal only a yellow card for a sharp intervention. Video referee Ondřej Berka did not recommend a review of the situation on the screen to the main referee.

“I guess the referee learned from what I said recently. That when the judges see it, they have to judge for themselves. He told me at half-time that he evaluated it as not a foul on the red card. I told him that if he continued to do so, it was right if he had the ball forgiveness, “said Jablonec coach Petr Rada, who is a great critic of the video referee.

“And I’m going back to the video again. Mr. Berka is sitting there again. I’m so unlucky with him! He is two meters tall, but I’m still not afraid of him. Maybe he’s used to this game, drank coffee or crunched there, I can’t explain it, “Rada criticized.
