They kept the tradition. In the spring, the Letna team never scored in the league in the first half. The points then chase until the last moment.

“We have recently become aware that we are the main rivals. If we can beat ourselves, then we can beat others as we want, “Ladislav Krejčí Jr. aptly describes the atmosphere in the team for O2 TV Sport.
–
Both teams bet on new goalkeepers. Sparta for the first time in the league season on the experienced Milan Heč. The East Bohemians then deployed young Jakub Markovič, for the first time since the derby with Hradec Králové in mid-September. It was the guest from Slavia who was the man of the match for an hour. With his interventions, he trampled the already broken self-confidence of Sparta. He collected from Krejčí Jr. paradoxically only shortly after Kostka, on the other side, hit a stick from the first Pardubice club. The opening goal was decisive for the result of the match.

“Markovic gave a calm performance, especially in the first half. I have to praise him for being young, “says coach Jiří Krejčí.

He also had to excel in Heč, who almost failed to make up for the head-black. In the end, he collected from him only in the setting reducing the goal.

“Just like in the autumn, the match could have ended about 7: 3 … We didn’t change a few break situations, so the conclusion was more exciting than it had to be. But I’m glad we won, “breathed the Spartan coach Pavel Vrba that his team had earned the mandatory points.
–
In the end, lost favorites don’t have to regret the chances. Even thanks to a successful double substitution in the 56th minute. “Dočkal is very experienced, we need a player who can calm the team in the final phase. He helped us, as did Haraslín, who before the first goal fulfilled exactly why he came to the field, “points out Vrba.
