The footballers of Pilsen drew in the second round of the league superstructure in the group for the title on the Slavia field 1: 1 and stayed at the top of the table by two points ahead of the Prague rival.
Ondřej Kúdela sent Vršovický’s trophy defender in the lead in the first minute of the lead into the lead from the penalty, but in the fifth minute he also leveled the penalty from Jean-David Beauguel. The match was led by Polish referees led by Bartosz Frankowski.
Pilsen extended the series without defeat on 19 laps. The West Czechs did not beat Slavia in the league for the ninth time in a row, but the draw brought them closer to winning the title three rounds before the end of the season. In Eden Viktoria scored the highest competition in the last 11 duels for the second time.
The people of Prague did not win in the second round of the superstructure either, a week ago they lost 3: 4 to Hradec Králové in his Mladá Boleslav home asylum.
Pilsen came to Slavia with three stoppers and a very variable layout. Mandous returned to the goal of the Prague team, Kolář, who collected four times in the last round, was missing for health reasons. Former Viktorie Tecl took the lead in the home attack and Traoré played an unusually offensive midfielder.
“Červenobílí” started actively and in the first minute Bah’s dotted center on the side net ended. In the 18th minute, the home team had a great chance, Oscar, after a combination with Olayinka, finished on a long leg by centimeters next to him.
After a while, after the escape, Tecl stormed the Pilsen goalkeeper Staňek and the Polish judge ordered a penalty. However, after the intervention of a video referee and a review of the situation at the monitor, he canceled his original verdict, as goalkeeper Viktorie hit the ball first.
After half an hour, the guests also threatened. Kopic passed to former midfielder Slavia Buch after the intrusion, but Hovorka knocked down an attempt on the corner. In the 43rd minute, Traoré came on the other side and Staněk saved Viktoria with an excellent intervention. The end of the first half lasted after the stadium was enveloped in smoke from smokestacks in the home “boiler”.
After the change of sides, Tecl headed over in a difficult position. In the 57th minute, the Prague team claimed Hejd’s hand in the lime, but the referee did not order a penalty. On the other hand, Beauguel made his way to the end, but did not overcome Mandous in distress.
A free kick just outside of the visitors’ penalty area after 65 minutes could have resulted in another goal, but Olayinka got a hand out and tipped the ball over the bar. On the other hand, Havel fired a bounced balloon only at Mandouse. With the end approaching, the number of fouls increased and Slavia could not reach the expected onslaught.
Nevertheless, in the end, the people of Prague took the lead. In the 86th minute, Pernica blocked Olayink’s shot, then after the already surpassed Staňek, Santos turned the ball away after Kúdel’s attempt.
However, after the intervention of the video referee, the judge went to examine Beauguel’s high leg on Jurásk and ordered a penalty, which Kúdela overcame Staňka in the first minute of the setting.
However, the West Czechs were still able to react in the hectic end. The substitute Trusa fell in the lime after the Oscar intervention and Frankowski ordered a penalty for the guests to the great displeasure of the home team. At the start of the sixth minute, Beauguel changed the penalty kick, although Mandous caught the direction of the shot.
The French striker scored the 16th goal in the league season and loses one goal to the leader of the table of gunners Jurečka from Slovácko.
