After Erik Prekop was sent off, they played a long power play from the 38th minute. However, they were unable to conquer the rival’s sanctuary, and in the end, Jaroslav Svozil also went to the dressing room prematurely.
Karviná didn’t start badly, but Baník mainly had chances. Prekop could have been alone in front of Lapeš, but Tanko would have had to get the ball to him through Krčík. David Buchta then got to the shot, but it went wide.
After half an hour, Memič tried his luck, but his shot after Moses’ recording narrowly missed the shrine of Baník. This was the biggest chance of the home team in the first half, who did not finish several promising events. And that’s not even at the moment when Prekop gave them a power play with his intervention on Raspopovič’s knee. Tanko then had a total tutuka, who ran alone at Lapeš, but he caught him.
After the break, Karviná naturally took control of the ball, which had to conquer. However, Baník had a great chance when Svozil almost scored an own goal after Ewerton’s cross. On the other side, another long-time miner posed the greatest threat, but Markovič took Fleišman’s shot. Ezeh had a great opportunity, but his header went wide.
The same player had an even bigger win five minutes before the end, when Raspopovič’s cross only made the goal structure sound. Karviné did not succeed in its offensive effort, on the contrary, in the end, captain Svozil was sent off after a foul on Riga.
