Before the match, both teams symbolically took on the colors of the national flag of Ukraine, which is facing the Russian invasion. While the people of Jablonec wore yellow T-shirts, the people of Plzeň ran in blue. In the end, the North Bohemians recovered several players and their coach Rada did not have to improvise so much with the team. In the absence of extreme backs, the Brazilian defender Santos jumped behind Victoria for the first time.

The duel of Jablonec’s worst offensive in the competition with Pilsen’s best defense was even in the opening act. The West Bohemians started more actively, but Jablonec had the first big chance in the 11th minute. The goalkeeper ran to the center of Zelený and his head to the bar was set by the goalkeeper Staněk. On the other hand, Bucha, playing in the 100th league match, fired in a good position, but his shot was blocked by the defense.
–
On difficult terrain, it was difficult for both teams to get into the chances. The Jablonec stopper Martinec was injured in the first half and Štěpánek replaced him in the middle of the defense. In the opening minute of the first half, Bucha had the biggest chance so far after a quick break and Beauguel’s knock, but in the escape he only hit goalkeeper Hanuš, who healed injuries from the previous round in České Budějovice, where he had to take turns.
–
Even after a break on the field, fighting initially prevailed. In the 58th minute, Pilsen coach Bílek withdrew Sýkora from the game and sent the second forward, Chorý, to the lawn. After two minutes, he got a big chance after Beauguel’s shot and the home goalkeeper Hanuš balon easily went on the pole.
–
After a while, Beauguel hit the rebound the ball from behind the lime, but he narrowly overshot and did not score the 13th goal in the league year. On the other side, he aimed for a break over Cernak. Gradually, Pilsen pushed more and more forward and gained a considerable advantage.
–
Viktoria could have decided in the 83rd minute, when Santos stretched just behind the lime and the joy of the premier goal for Plzeň was spoiled by the goalkeeper Hanuš with an excellent intervention at the bar. Jablonec partially corrected the autumn debacle 0: 5 in the west of Bohemia and scored with today’s opponent for the third time in the last four league duels.
