recognition. The team of Petr Rada managed to score with Plzeň and after shots
of Josef Šural and Vjačeslav Karavajev won 2:0, thus has ended a serie of five
losses in a row with this opponent.
One of the main stars of the game was Romanian player Bogdan Vatajel, who
played for the first time for Sparta and showed very good performance. "He
did his job well," the coach counseled him.
Players of Plzeň lost a great serie and the first place in the score sheet
table, but the worst was to come. After the match, they have heard that their
good friend and former teammate František Rajtoral had committed suicide in
Turkey.
Slavia are on the top of the league after
the 25th round, winning 2:0 after Milan Deli and Milan Škoda had scored in
Slovácko. Mladá Boleslav also scored 3:2 in Brno.
The Australian striker Golgol Mebrahtu contributed with his first hat-trick in
the Czech league. Excellent form was confirmed by Teplice, who beat 1:0
Karviná.
An interesting situation occurs at the
bottom of the score sheet. Příbram won on the opponent's ground for the first
time when they managed to defeat Jablonec 4: 2. Příbram has the same score as
the fourteenth Hradec, who did not score for the third time in a row and
lost with Liberec 0:1. Jihlava lost 1:4 with Dukla and closes the score sheet.
