Baník beat Teplice for the third time in a row and followed up on a 3-0 win from the previous away league match in Olomouc. The Slezans are on a streak of seven games without a loss in the top competition. The North Bohemians, on the other hand, have not won four times in a row in the league, they are already waiting for a three-point win at home in five duels.
Only four goals were scored in the opening five games of the season in Teplice Stínadly, and even today the spectators did not see any offensive performances. The home team threatened in the first half only in the 18th minute, when Havelka shot high from a promising position.
On the other hand, he narrowly missed Buchta in the 35th minute, and a moment later, in an even bigger chance, Ewerton hit the crossbar after Kubal’s back pass. The Brazilian offensive player visiting Baník from Slavia did not please Pražany coach Trpišovský, who came to the match together with his assistants.
The most important moment of the opening act came at the very end, when Mičevič stopped the escaping Tank with a slide. Referee Pechanec initially did not judge the intervention of the Serbian stopper as a foul, but after the intervention of the video referee and watching repeated footage, he reconsidered his statement and sent Teplice to ten. The North Bohemians finished the fourth of the last five competitive games weakened.

Baník started the second half with an onslaught, but the home team could have taken the lead. In the 53rd minute, Vachoušek got free through Pojezné and ran alone to goalkeeper Letáček, but his technical attack missed the top corner of the goal. Immediately, Grigar was tested by Ewerton with a sharp ground shot, the Teplice keeper got down to the ball in time. In the 57th minute, it was the first shot of the match going between the three posts. Even other promising attempts by the active Tank and Ewerton did not improve the statistics.
Ostrava’s pressure increased and the visitors got a quarter of an hour before the end. Kubala found Almási with a pass into the box, who got the ball into the net with a not very successful shot on the ground. The 24-year-old Slovak forward scored in the top flight for the first time since May 21, when he contributed to a 2:1 home win over Teplice.
“Sklar” were soon close to equalizing, but Letáček made a great save after Chaloupek’s header against the post. In the 84th minute, Almási played with his hand in his own penalty area and Pechanec ordered a penalty. Even at the second key moment of the match, he followed the video referee’s recommendation and changed his verdict after watching the replays.
The duel between the two opponents did not end in a draw for the sixth time in a row. Baník followed up February’s 5-0 win in Teplice.
