PRAGUE IS OURS! The Slavists dominated the MOL Cup

The Slavists entered the fight for the cup trophy in the starting line-up with a recovered David Jurásek at left back. His namesake Matěj also started from the first minute, and the reserve line was completed by Ibrahim Traoré, who appeared in the starting eleven after three months.

The beginning of the match did not offer much combination play, the teams fought a sharp battle for the center of the field. In the 5th minute, Václav Jurečka scored from an angle, his cannon caused Kovář a lot of trouble.

The same player had a promising opportunity moments later, but he slowed down his independent breakthrough too much and allowed the defense to form lines.

In the 14th minute, Oscar sent a beautiful shot to the counter of Mick van Buren, whose shot was aimed at the corner. David Jurásek then finished off it with a poison dart under the crossbar, but even this attempt did not end with the opening goal.

Ten minutes later the score could have changed for either side. At first, Tutovka was not used by the lone Ibrahim Traoré, but fortunately Karabec did the same, and Letná was still waiting for a goal.

With the tremendous support of the stands, the celebrants continued their active performance, which was supported by several great choreographies from the workshop of Tribuna Sever. Before halftime, Václav Jurečka also threatened with a ground shot, but it didn’t end in a goal either, and the teams went to the booths in a tie.

In the 54th minute, Ibrahim Traoré and Matěj Juráske left the pitch, and were replaced by the Zafeiris – Provod duo. In the 60th minute, the ball fell after a corner kick by Christos Zafeiris to to David Doudérwho burned through everything in his path – 1:0!

Immediately, Christos Zafeiris could increase the difference in the score, whose shot was pulled out with Kovář’s fingertips. The ball only got into the goal after a misunderstanding between Leten defenders in the 64th minute, when Panák, by his own doing, overturned his goalkeeper and sent Slavia into a two-goal lead – 2:0!

In the 73rd minute, Václav Jureček pushed Mick van Buren into a solo penetration, which this time only rippled the upper net with his lob. Five minutes later, David Jurásek came to the rescue, kicking the ball from the goal line. Ondřej Kolář also flashed a great save in the setup.

Sláviste finished the rest of the match without any major problems and already won the fourth part of the home cup under the leadership of the coaching team of Jindřich Trpišovský!
