CUT: Pardubice – Zlín 2:0. Icha acrobatically decided the home team’s win

Pardubice beat Zlín 2:0 in the first round of the FORTUNA:LIZE Group. After a goalless first half, Marek Icha decided the victory for the home team with a spectacular finish. In the final minutes, substitute Ladislav Krobot added insurance. The East Bohemians thus remain outside the play-off bars.

Coach Radoslav Kováč’s men won after four rounds and are 13th in the table, four points ahead of the first playoff position. “Shoemakers” failed for the second time in a row, they won only one of the last 10 games in the top division, and with points tied with Karvina, they fell to the last place, which is the only one that means direct relegation.

Pardubice had the first chance in the 11th minute. Daněk passed to Patrák for defense, but he finished wide. The Zlín team threatened the home goal only in the 26th minute, but Holík’s shot was stopped by Kinský without any problems. The biggest opportunity of the opening act was born in the 33rd minute, when goalkeeper Dostál did not reach Surzyn’s cross and Daněk narrowly missed the Zlín goal with his header in a difficult position.

East Bohemia managed to enter the second half and opened the scoring after less than two minutes. Daňk’s cross from the corner rebounded to Ich, who gave Dostál a chance with a brilliant finish from the air to the post. He scored for the third time in the league season.

Zlín came close to equalizing in the 58th minute. Janetzký leaned his head into Cedidl’s center from the side, but Kinský neutralized his attempt and hid the ball in his gloves in time before the onrushing Schánělc.

On the opposite side, Hlavatý tried to beat Dostál from a free kick, but the Zlín goalkeeper could not be caught. In the 70th minute, substitute González missed the Pardubice goal. Shortly after, another incoming player from the visiting bench, Ikugar, did not aim between the three posts from the edge of the small area.

In the 85th minute, they added a home insurance. Didiba did not reach the ball and Pardubice got into an outnumbering situation, which Sychra solved with a pass to Krobot, who just had to hit the open goal. He scored his fourth goal in the year of the top competition five minutes after arriving on the pitch. The East Bohemians scored the 31st goal in the league season and no longer have the worst attack in the competition.

“Shoemakers” almost dramatized the match. Ikugar beat Kinski after Ortiz’s error, but at the last moment the ball was deflected in front of the goal line by a running Icha.

Pardubice won at home in the league only in the second of the last 13 duels, and with 14 of the total 31 points they are still the worst team there in the season. In front of their own spectators, they defeated Zlín in the top competition after two defeats and jumped to six points. “Shoemakers” have won only one of the last 17 matches away from home in the league, and have won only seven of the total 25 points in the season.
