In the incomplete table, the East Bohemians jumped to fourth place with 12 points, right behind the strong trio of Sparta, Slavia and Pilsen. The team from Uherské Hradiště lost for the second time in the season of the top competition and did not score after five rounds. He fell to eighth place in the running table.
Home team Vlkanova got into the first serious action of the match, sending the rebounded ball to Heča in the penalty area, but the hard shot ended up right in the arms of the Slovakian goalkeeper.
Heča also distinguished himself during the break of his former teammate Mihálik, jumping under his feet to collect the ball in the penalty area, thereby preventing the opening of the score. But the “Votroks” striker got injured and was soon replaced by Griger, a new acquisition from Hradec Králové.
The visiting coach West also introduced the new September reinforcement Kukučka, he already put the guest from Sparta in the foundation. The entire defense of the Moravian team was busy with the active play of the home team. Only occasionally did the visitors have the strength left for quick counterattacks, but this did not result in a significant threat to Zadražil’s goal.
END’| The Malšovica arena is once again an impregnable fortress 💪 We win over Slovácko after a great performance 3:0 👏

The very first shot between the posts in the match meant the first goal. Vlkanova fluffed a free kick in front of the visiting goal and Hradec stopper Čihák opened the scoring with his head. With his third hit in the league season, he confirmed his position as the team’s best scorer.
A few minutes later, Griger only hit the post after an action with the gusto of Čihák. The second goal hung in the air, and when it did fall, Petrášek’s shot was called off due to offside by video referee Szikszay.
In the first half, Slovácko did not get into the offensive game at all. The “invaders” completely eliminated not only Krmenčík, but also Havlík and other offensive players. After changing sides, their game was revived by the mobile Kim Sung-pin, who also got other teammates down.
The image of the game has changed. The Moravians took the initiative and forced the home team into a defensive block. In the 57th minute, Krmenčík made himself known for the first time with a shot just wide.
Slovácko’s action was brought down 10 minutes later by an errant Trávník in the middle of the pitch. The ball easily reached Griger, who advanced to the goal, passed between the two Slovakian stoppers and scored his first league goal on the Czech scene.
The wind took away the wind from the outstretched offensive sails of the visitors. Hradec was in control of the game and deservedly reached the goal in the form of three points, which the substitute Čmelík secured even more with a shot to the post. The Slovak player scored the first hit in the league season.
Hradec thus extended the points series with Slovácko in the top competition to three games. Coach Horejš’s men won the sixth of the last seven duels at home in the league. Slovácko came out empty-handed after two league matches.
