Head coach Václav Kotal used his favourite 3-5-2 formation and the same line-up as in the last pre-season match of the Austrian training camp with Wolfsberger.
Our fans waited only three minutes for the first goal of the season. After a great pass by David Lischka, Andreas Vindheim fired a ball under the crossbar!
Shortly after that, Dočkal crossed from the right side to the box and found Hložek, but he did not get the ball under control.
In the 10th minute, the best scorer of the summer training camp Lukáš Juliš sent the ball to the net after great pass by Lukáš Štetina.
And that was not all! After half an hour of play, Adam Hložek passed to Bořek Dočkal and he increased to 3-0!
5 minutes later, Bořek Dočkal got the ball on the right side and after combination with Michal Sáček fired from the box line. The ball went just near the left post. Second goal for our captain!
Sparta controlled the match and led 4-0 after half time. It has happened only two years ago against Teplice since 1993, when we also led by four goals after the opening half.
The home team had the best chance to score after 50 minutes. Přichystal ended face to face Heča. But Sparta's goalkeeper defended a clean sheet with a great save.th
But not for a long time. Brno captain Peter Štepanovský scored by a rocket near the left post in the 58th minute. So it was 4-1.
In the 74th minute, Hložek passed to Juliš by a long pass, even though Julda run fast, the goalkeeper Floder was faster .
In the rest of the match, it was clear that the match is decided. Sparta didn't get into chances. The home team threatened in the added time when Jakub Šural's head went over the goal.
In the end, Filip Souček replaced the Bořek Dočkal and played for the first time league match in Sparta.
Sparta won 4:-1 in Brno in the first league round.
