In the beginning, Liberec defended itself against Knot’s expulsion, and shortly after the end of the weakening, the White Tigers showed a nice combination, at the end of which stood the defender Hanousek. He drove from the second wave to the right circle and turned Birner’s exact pass into a leading goal.
The guests of Kváč did not endanger even in another numerical advantage. In the 15th minute, he demonstrated an elite Liberec attack on how to take advantage of the opponent’s mistake. When renumbering three to one, Birner drew a pass on Bulíř, who, kneeling from the first, rippled the net behind Lukeš for the second time.
