Slovácko will finish fourth worst in this year’s Fortuna: Liga. The best gunner of the competition, Václav Jurečka, decided with a hat-trick to win over Baník. Sparta at home only drew 1: 1 with Hradec Králové.
In the 2nd round of the league superstructure group, the Sparta footballers drew for the title with the newcomer Hradec Králové 1: 1 and their chances for the title were significantly reduced. The Prague team did not win the second of the last three matches in the highest competition and they are losing five points to the leader Plzeň, who will have a duel on the pitch of the second Slavia on Sunday.
Letenské was sent to the lead by Dávid Hancko after the change of sides from the penalty, Michal Leibl equalized for the guests with the first league goal. The “Votroci”, who surprisingly defeated the championship Slavia 4: 3 at the beginning of the superstructure, did not lose in the highest competition for the ninth time in a row. With Sparta, they scored in the league after a series of eight losses for the first time since February 2012, when they beat her 1-0 at home. The first draw took place in the 31st mutual league duel.
The initial kick-off was preceded by a ceremonial farewell to the playing career of Costa’s defender, who joined Letenská from 2013 to 2020. Sparta requested the player’s registration from Poland, where he last worked. The 36-year-old native of Zimbabwe will work for the Prague Scouting Department.
The home team entered without Hložek, who was injured during the warm-up, replaced by Pešek. Sparta began actively. However, Vízek managed to deal with Pavelek’s ground shot from behind the lime, and in the seventh minute the Spartan captain fired right next to him.
In the 13th minute, Novotný ran for the defense of the Prague team, but did not cross from Heč’s angle. Goalkeeper Leten then pulled Kubal’s shot into the corner. In the 38th minute, Haraslín aimed from a direct kick from almost 23 meters only to Vízek’s arms.
Less than five minutes after the break, Leibl withdrew to the ground of Čvančar in the penalty area and Judge Hocek whistled for a penalty. Hancko didn’t hesitate, even though Vízek caught the direction of his shot. The Slovak national team scored the sixth goal of the league season. The “slaves” faced the first penalty kick in the year of the highest competition.
In the 65th minute, the East Bohemians leveled. Shortly after the substitution, Rada stood for the standard and his shot fell in front of the goal on the ending Leibl. The 29-year-old bek scored the first goal in the 17th league match.
In the 77th minute, Hancko ran into Dočkal’s center, but Vízek pushed the ball to the corner. In the setting, Čvančar’s shot from behind the sixteen narrowly missed the bar.
Sparta did not beat Hradec in the 16th home league match for the first time, at the beginning of this season it defeated it 4: 0. The Prague team under the leadership of coach Vrba did not lose in the league in Letná or in the 25th duel and only lost points there for the third time.
Jurečka did not play from the beginning, but he still scored three goals
In the second round of the superstructure, Slovácko turned the match around Ostrava and won 3: 1 at home. Václav Jurečka responded to Jiří Klíma’s goal from the sixth minute after a break with a hat-trick and jumped to the top of the table with 17 goals.
The team from Uherské Hradiště has an 11-point lead over Baník and will finish fourth worst in the final table of the highest competition. In addition, he won the Wednesday final of the home cup with Sparta.
At the same time, the author of the hat trick, Jurečka, started only on the bench and jumped into the game only after the break;
Klíma perfectly replaced Almási at the tip of Ostrava. Already in the sixth minute, he took advantage of the lack of concentration and misunderstanding of the home defense and from eight meters he comfortably opened the score in his 100th first league match.
Slovácko quickly shook off, it formed a territorial advantage, but no chances emerged from it. On the other hand, the visiting young man Smékal, who was in the penalty area on the home side in the 24th minute, was sent off by a well-run Nguyen.
Baník defended well and did not let the home team renumber or chance, his players were full of movement and were more dangerous to Nguyen’s goal.
After the break, he strengthened the offensive of Slovácko Jureček, however, he had a balance on the football Cicilia, who hit the pole after a quick break and pass Sadílek. A moment later, Lischka shot down Daníček in his 16th and Judge Radina, after consulting with a video referee, ordered a penalty, which Jurečka safely converted.
Slovácko’s performance went up after the equalization. The team refined the game, increased movement and scored the second goal. Havlík sent Jurečka to another break, who did not hesitate and turned the solo safely.
Reinberk had the third goal after Holzer’s center, he overcame Laštůvka, but Fleišman prevented the disaster on the goal line. Slovácko controlled the development of the game, the chances for the equalizer flashed to Baník in the 85th minute after Fleišman’s header, which was aimed right next door.
At the set time, he confirmed the home team’s victory after another Vecheta break into Jureček’s empty goal. Slovácko did not lose to Baník for the fifth time in a row, of which it scored fully for the fourth time.
