Josef Jandač (Sparta): “The first period was not bad on our part, on the contrary, I think we had a chance, which we unfortunately did not change. In the second (third) it was not like that, but we still knew that the match could be broken. At 2: 2 it was about who will score, unfortunately Kladno gave him, we made a foul for four minutes, which I do not want to comment much, and it decided. “Whoever gets in and who doesn’t, but we don’t want to make excuses. At least we should have scored, tried to start and somehow bridged this situation.”
David Cermak (Kladno): “Sparta was better in the first period, we didn’t have a leg. We have to thank the goalkeeper who saved us in several big chances of Sparta. we may be calmer in Zlín, but I experienced it two years ago, when we had a similar lead. We will play until the end. “
