Slavia’s footballers lost 1: 3 in the opening match of the basic group C of the European League on the Beer Ševy field.
The conqueror of Pilsen from the 4th preliminary round of the competition led thanks to Jhonatan Agudel, Lukáš Praod compared for the Prague team. Hapoel decided to win between the 86th and 88th minutes, when Elton Acolatse won twice.
Hapoel managed all four preliminary rounds on the way to the main phase of the European League, Slavia was condemned to the competition by a cruel elimination from Midtjylland from the 4th preliminary round of the Champions League.
Beer Ševa was replaced by the defender Taha and midfielder Josué in the basic line-up, although, like coach Abukasis, his assistant Barda and substitute goalkeeper Rahami, they tested positive for coronavirus before the match. The other three home players had borderline test results. According to the Israeli club, these are not newly ill, which is why Hapoel received permission from UEFA.
The opening half hour offered no chance. Only then did the Slavists get the word out, but Traoré’s sharp shot and Tecl’s ground ending were stopped by the goalkeeper Levita.
The home team shocked the Praguers in the 45th minute, when they struck from the first opportunity in the match after the blitz action. Stoper Hovorka didn’t get in touch with Kolář and Dady’s bouncing pass failed to free Agudel, who ended up in an empty goal.
After a change of side, Levita Malinského sent a pass and Tecl missed the ball just before the goal. The Levite was not surpassed by Stanciia from behind the lime, and Kuchta and Provod did not overtake in the subsequent influx. On the other hand, Josué tried to surprise the run-out Kolář with a shot from almost half of the field, but missed.
In the 75th minute, the Slavists received when Provod finished Stanci’s pass with a shot from the first and leveled. The better Praguers wanted to take the victory to their side, but in the 86th minute they did not cover another lightning strike, Acolatse ran into the penalty area to José’s center and with the end of the volley he did not give Kolář a chance. He immediately added a fuse when he picked up a balloon for the missing Hovork and overcame the run-out Kolář with a lob.
Next Thursday, Slavia will welcome Leverkusen at home, where the currently injured Czech national team member Patrik Schick is working. Bayer entered the competition with a crushing 6: 2 win over Nice. The first two units of the group will advance to the spring phase.
