For a long time it seemed that on Wenceslas day it would be the match of St. Wenceslas Smrkovský at the Kladno gate. In the first half, he was saved by a stick after a header on the back post of a forgotten player, then all the saints stood by him when he brought down an opponent behind the goal and only received a yellow card, finally he famously caught the home Zvěřin, who was all alone on the penalty spot.
Kladna also passed through the escape of the home player at the end of the half, which Fojt stopped rather risky. In the only better chance, Eichler then aimed just into the middle of the goal…
After the change of sides, the coach Zdeněk Hašek tried to encourage the team to perform better, but unfortunately it did not go very well. Although the guests threatened at times, they still annoyed the home team. Smrkovský held on to hope until the 66th minute, when Svoboda headed in from the center from the side.
Hašek then sent three new players onto the field, and one of them – Šnobl, had a chance to at least equalize in the end, but the fighting home team had already defended the golden three points.
Coach Zdeněk Hašek was not going to make excuses for the bad pitch, but… “It is of course more difficult for a team that wants to play combination football to play on this, but we knew about it. We also knew what situation the home team was in and what they could do to annoy us. Unfortunately, we underestimate the little things, we don’t close the edges of the field, we are not emphatic when it comes to standards. These are divisional things that are not forgiven in the third league… But defeats are part of football, we now have to evaluate them and behave accordingly,” assessed Zdeněk Hašek and acknowledged that the team mainly has problems with away matches.
