He caught such a great form that he has no problem scoring even in a doubly weakened state. The 44th minute was ending under Ještěd, when Sparta had already been defending itself in three against five for a minute. The already exhausted 32-year-old forward still caught Filippi’s pass in the blue and rushed alone at the goalkeeper Krále.
“I went to the scoreboard and kind of read what their player wanted to do. I was in the forward drive and able to pass. But to be honest, I have to say that I was glad that I reached the gate at all,” smiled Roman Horák. He ended his separate raid coolly with a backhand between Královy betony. “I knew what I wanted to do. I do it often and it works out, so I trusted myself and it fell in there. In the end, it’s three points,” he was pleased.

“Hats off to how Horynka pulled it off, and after sixty-five seconds he still managed to drive away and finish. As a coach, I haven’t come across very often that we not only defended a three-on-five deficit, which was the turning point of the match, but we also scored a goal,” praised Sparta coach Pavel Gross.
After all, even the author of the winning goal has not experienced a similar situation for many years. “I do not remember. I know 100% that in the eighth or ninth grade I scored a goal in a double handicap, but that doesn’t count now, does it… I’d be kidding, but I probably didn’t score it in the boys’ game,” he admitted, adding that he had no idea whether such a hit was included in the the tariff of contributions to the cash register. “This probably doesn’t get written about much, it doesn’t happen very often. I have to consult with the cashier,” Horák revealed.
The New Year is a testament to him, he woke up in January and scored twice even in the north. “I’m also happy for him, before that he didn’t score a goal for almost two months, so he’s choosing it now. That’s all the more important now that we’re missing shooters like Josh Kestner, and we have someone here to replace him,” praised goalkeeper Josef Kořenář.

Horák scored two goals three times out of four games, only in Vítkovice he did not score. “Now it’s falling down there. On the other hand, I hadn’t scored in fifteen or sixteen games before that. My whole career I prefer to record, but now Najmi (Najman) found me there beautifully before the first goal. I am happy that it is coming out and I only hope that it will continue,” the native of České Budějovice believed in the continuation of the fruitful period.
However, he also experienced one horror moment in Liberec, when after a hard shot by Liberec’s Jaroslav Vlach, goalkeeper Jakub Kovář had to leave the ice on a stretcher and ended up in the hospital. “It’s not pleasant when you see a friend lying on the ice and you don’t know what’s going on. It’s a terrible feeling,” he said immediately after the match.
