Sparta started with a 3-5-2 line-up. LK37 played a centre-back. Laco Krejčí started as a right wing, Matěj Hanousek as a left. In the middle of the field, Michal Trávník played 200th match in the league.
The first chance of the match came in the 10th minute. After a pass from Dočkal, Hložek shot out of the box. His attempt flew next to the left post. A minute later, Laco Krejčí fired in the box. But his attempt went out of the goal.
And the third chance in a short time. Hložek got the ball in the small box after the cross by Dočkal. However, due to the defending player of Jablonec, he could not finish well and his weak attempt went into Hrubý's gloves.
After 20 minutes came Jablonec's first chance, but a good one. Pilař perfectly found Ladra in the box. His cross shot just missed the left post.
The first goal came in the 30th minute. The best scorer of the league Lukáš Juliš received a pass from Hložek in the box and scored the sixth goal in the sixth league match.
Four minutes later, after the beautiful cross by Michal Trávník, Adam Hložek scored the fourth goal of the season! And Hložek was still active. Four minutes before the break, he fired from a distance and just missed the right post.
At the end of the half, Jablonec had a chance. Ladra shot in the box, but his attempt from the right side aimed exactly to Heča. No goal, so 2-0 in the half-time.
A complication came a quarter of an hour before the end. Pilař hit the post, then the ball got to Čvančara. An assistant waved an offside, VAR subsequently reviewed the situation, and it was a goal for Jablonec.
We had a tough time in the 90th minute. Milan Heča at first stopped Pleštil's shot a moment later, Zelený fired in the box from an angle and hit Heča in the face!
We almost celebrated the added time. Hložek got to the goal line and tried to find Polidar, but just in front of him, one of the defenders stopped the ball.
Sparta defeated Jablonec 2-1 at home and we lead the league during the national team break with the full number of 18 points.
