In the home match against Jablonec, Bohemka took the lead already in the first half, thanks to Yusuf’s converted penalty. Even before leaving for the cabins, Hollý managed to equalize. After the halftime break, chances alternated on both sides, but the visiting Kanakimana was the only successful scorer, and Bohemka lost to Jablonec.
In the starting eleven against Jablonec, coach Jaroslav Veselý made two changes. He put Shejbal in the left halfback position and Jánoš in the center of the field. In the third minute, the Green and White scored the first goal. Hůlka got through Martinec, then the ball was picked up by Ristovski, who passed to a free Matoušek. The former player from Jablonec decided to take an unconventional shot with his left foot, which, however, flew high over the goal of the North Bohemians. In the tenth minute, Matoušek caught Nebyl’s pass in his own defensive half and was able to break away. On the edge of the penalty area, he passed to Drchal, but Hanuš managed to collect the ball in front of him.
Shortly after the opening ten minutes, the first goal of the match was scored. Yusuf pushed Drchal forward. The strong attacker chased the pass, but in the penalty area he got in the way of the defending Cedidla. At first, Judge Nehasil was not of the opinion that it was an illegal intervention. The game was suspended by the video referee, who asked the head referee to review the situation on the monitor. After checking the record, the verdict was already clear, namely a penalty kick. Striker Yusuf took the ball, sent the ball to the right post and could run to celebrate his third goal in a row.
Tchanturishvili dared with a mid-range shot from Jablonec. This attempt was far from having dangerous parameters, as it ended up in the fans’ corridor behind the goal. The North Bohemians fared better from the standard situation. She did not take over her passing in front of her own substitute. Midfielder Hollý jumped to the center, whose header to the left post meant equalization.
Jablonec were not far from leading. Kanakimana managed to poke the ball out before Křapka wanted to kick it away. The winger from Burundi raced towards the goal. He went around Soukup, in front of which Hybš was patrolling. It was Bohemka’s defender who made an excellent defensive save and knocked the shot into the corner with a sacrificial slide. He played through the center of Polidar. The ball fell all the way to the back post to Puskáč. The lanky striker shot with his stronger left foot, but in a clear position, but outside the three posts. Bohemians could also go to the cabins with the management. At the end of the set time, Matoušek started another sprint with the balloon. On the 16, he jammed the ball to the left hand side to shoot. Cedidla intervened in the shot while it was still sliding, thanks to whose intervention the ball bounced just past the left post and into the goal area.
The second half was definitely not boring. Right at the start of the game, the Kangaroos took a corner kick. The guests defended themselves for the first time. The bounced ball was found by Adam Kadlec, who, although he shot hard, was unfortunately far from accurate. Polidar from Jablonec took care of a great chance when he sent Yusuf on the run with an inaccurate pass. The Bahraini striker only poked the ball past Hanuš, but the goalkeeper of Jablonec fantastically eliminated this finish. On the right side, Tchanturishvili was able to push Hybš, which allowed him to develop the action in the penalty area until the end. The Georgian all-rounder charged under himself in the penalty area, where Hollý passed the ball to Nebyl. The Slovakian midfielder shot towards the left post, but to his own misfortune, he only shot Kanakimana.
After that, the Bohemians fans had their heads in their hands again. Forward Yusuf passed to Matoušek on the run. The fast forward outran Tekijaški and raced alone at Hanuš. Unfortunately, his shot past the goalkeeper Jablonec ended up near the right post. The North Bohemians demonstrated a standard situation in Ďolíček, from which they had already scored against Dukla. But Bohemka did not let herself be surprised. Neither team was relieved in the sweltering heat. Beneath the Kangaroo cauldron, Yusuf again maneuvered the balloon. This time he presented the ball against Drchal’s leg. The Bohemians striker missed the space between the three posts with his left foot.
Even before the sixtieth minute, Jablonec got the leading goal. Kanakimana went forward after the pass, who collided with Puskáč even before the 16th mark. Inside the penalty area, he covered the game object in front of the onrushing Hybš, which he sent behind Soukup with a shot against the left post, and the visitors took the lead.
Hrubý, Novák, Pleštil and Zeman got on the pitch. The first-named tried his shooting luck behind the penalty area, but he did not have an accurate target. Novák also showed up at the event. The Pražani midfielder crossed to the back post. The ball was falling straight into the goal, but Hanuš was able to pull it under the crossbar at the last possible moment with his fingertips for a corner kick. Jablonec deflected the cross from the corner flag only to a big goal. This area was guarded by Zeman. The substitute winger put himself on the ball from the first, unfortunately for the Kangaroos, he was inches away from the goal. A beautiful shot curled just past the right junction of crossbar and pole
The Bohemians pressed ahead of Hanuš, but the North Bohemians could take away all hope of a point gain. Novice on the field, Štěpánek pushed Yusuf to the halfway line, where in cooperation with Krulich, they robbed the Bahraini striker and Hrubé of the ball. The attacker of Jablonec fought together with Tchanturishvili and Štěpánek towards the goal of Bohemka. Only Hůlka chased down this trio, Krulich played to Štěpánek in an even better position. The defender of North Bohemia already shot at the abandoned goal, from which Soukup ran out, but missed the yawning space between the three posts. Kangaroos could not punish this hesitation of the visiting team. Jablonec took three points from Ďolíček.
