Sparta scored seven goals in one match for the fourth time and for the first time since September 1999 and 7-0 wins over České Budějovice. She last won the top competition by five goals in May 2016 with Jihlava.
The Prague team did not lose even the sixth match in the league under coach Pavel Vrb and they are losing 13 points to the leader Slavia, in addition they have one less match. Teplice did not win three rounds in a row and remained fourteenth.
“I think it was football that probably entertained Spartan fans,” Vrba delighted after the match. “I am glad that we scored seven goals and we had the match under control in addition to the collected goal at 2: 1. As for the offensive, our game withstood the parameters we would like to show,” he added.
Sparta took the lead in less than three minutes. Hložek caught a bad start from the goalkeeper Němeček in front of the lime and promptly headed for the half-open goal.
10 minutes later, Captain Dočkal centered into the lime and Krejčí with a younger head to the pole did not give the Teplice goalkeeper a chance. Pavelka then presented the ball to Hložek for a visiting defense, but the Spartan striker ended the escape with a shot next to it.
In the 21st minute, Teplice decreased. Kučera found a free Jukl in front of the goal, who overcame Nita. The 22-year-old midfielder hit the premiere at the 18th league start.
“When we reduced to 2: 1, there was a small drop of hope. But we did really badly on the defensive today. Nothing worked for us at all, we were late everywhere. Moreover, when you act laxly on the defensive and get a goal from everything, Sparta’s wings grow , “Teplice coach Radim Kučera remarked.
Letenští took a two-goal lead back in three minutes, when Krejčí Jr. jumped on Plavšič’s center in front of the goal. In the 29th minute, the March Euro participant completed the 21st hat-trick. Wiesner fell after a fight with Jukl and the referee Machálek whistled a penalty kick, which Krejčí converted without any problems.
Sparta also scored at least four goals in the third domestic league match under Vrba. In the 39th minute, Pavelka hit the crossbar from behind the lime and in the setting Krejčí Jr. in the advantageous position in the penalty area did not take the opportunity to net the fourth goal.
In the second half, he replaced the Teplice German Grigar among the poles, who collected for the first time in the 53rd minute. Plavšič passed Hložka in front of the goal, and Knapík directed his end to his own net. After an hour of play, Polidar prevailed, who with a shot on a closer lime pole overcame Grigar and hit Sparta for the first time in the league.
Wiesner immediately joined the shooters. He defeated the Teplice goalkeeper and rejoiced in the first goal in the 28th league match. After 81 minutes, Žitný got through on the right and was very close to equalizing for the home side, but didn’t get the shot away.
“It was about entering the match, responsibility and access to it. When you do this, it will punish you. It has happened to us several times already. I don’t see the players’ heads, but this is inadmissible. I don’t understand it at all,” Kučera said.
Sparta defeated Teplice in the league for the third time in a row. On Wednesday, both teams are waiting for the quarterfinals of the home cup. Sparta will play Jablonec at home, Teplice will welcome Mladá Boleslav.
