The footballers of Prague’s Slavia won the 24th round of the first league over Opava 4: 0. In the highest competition, they have not lost 36 games in a row and set their own record from the period from 2016 to 2017.
The defending champion played from the 22nd minute without the expelled Abdallah Sima, however, Jan Kuchta opened the score in the first half. After the change of sides, the guest Jiří Kulhánek also received a red card and Nicolae increased Stanciu from the penalty kick. Then Tomáš Holeš and Oscar Dorley made their mark.
Slavia is the only one in the league season to maintain its invincibility and leads the incomplete table by 16 points ahead of Sparta, which only drew in České Budějovice. Letna have two good matches. Opava did not score on Slavia’s land for the ninth time in a row and remained on the penultimate place.
“It’s a unique series, an incredible number. There aren’t many opportunities to create such a series, that’s why we wanted to make it today. When the opportunity was available, we wanted to make it up. Staying one match before that would be unfortunate. we have the opportunity to overcome it, “said Slavia coach Jindřich Trpišovský at an online press conference, who paradoxically ended the previous record series with the win in Eden in October 2017, paradoxically still in the role of Liberec coach.
Three days after advancing through the Glasgow Rangers, the Prague team entered the quarter-finals of the European League with 18-year-old Vágner, who had to catch up with the injured number one Kolář in Scotland after an hour of play and today had his league league premiere.
The talented goalkeeper did not have much work to do, in the beginning he checked Řezníček’s shot next to it. 20 minutes into the match, Digima’s Sima came through the middle and almost added to his team’s lead, but the shot went wide.
“I knew I would be at the balloon sooner. I kicked off the balloon, finished me with a pedal. The referee judged it as a red card,” Digana said. “We couldn’t get into the pace, we didn’t work out a chance in the first 20 minutes. Then the match was affected by the red card, most of the match we had to play at ten. Trpišovský.
The Slavists, even weakened, opened the score until the break. In the fourth minute of the setting, the Slezané handed over the ball unnecessarily, Stanciu collided with Van Buren and after Digaň’s intervention pushed the balloon lying down into Kucht’s goal. He scored for the twelfth time in the league season and became independent at the top of the gunners’ table.
“I have not scored such a goal yet. It was important to score in the half, we had some rest,” Kuchta admitted. “He definitely decided the collected goal in the locker room. Instead of calming it down, holding the balloon, we unnecessarily played into the car. Slavia quickly threw the car and we reacted slowly,” said the assistant of the Opava coach Radoslav Kováč.
In the 53rd minute, the home team increased. Kuchta pushed in front of Kulhánek, fell in the lime and Cieslar ordered a penalty, in addition to excluding the visiting stopper after the second yellow card. From the penalty kick he did not hesitate, Stanciu, although Digaňa caught the direction of the shot. The Romanian midfielder scored the eighth of the last six competition duels and already has 10 goals in the league year.
“Red and White”, who have the best offensive in the highest competition, won twice more. In the 64th minute, he got into the break of Van Buren, found a free Holeš and he himself finished in front of Digaňa with an overview. In the 78th minute, the action of two substituting players and Tecl’s pass was not hesitated by Oscar.
“We wanted to change it a bit in the second half, but again we offered our opponents a second goal. Penalty plus red card and it was after the match. Slavia is of course great quality, but I’m disappointed with our performance, especially for a little courage. We had too much respect, “Kováč said.
Slavia scored in the league at home in 45 consecutive matches. She last lost in the highest competition last March in Slovácko. The previous record, which she reached even under the leadership of the previous coach Šilhavý, can be broken after a national break in the match in Brno.
