In the battle of the leading teams of the seventh highest competition, Duchcovští led 3:2, but in the set time, Údlice managed to equalize after a reversed free kick. A melee broke out on the pitch, in which not only the aggrieved players of the visiting team were active, but also the home football players. Duchtsov complained about the tendentious management of the trio of judges, but during the protests his players did not spare vulgar words. After Fau insulted Krutin’s assistant, Saifert ended the heated duel prematurely. According to the minutes of the match, it was stuffy even in the cabins, doors were reported to have been kicked in, the home team even called the police and a pair of border referees went to the Chomutov hospital for treatment.

FK Duchcov apologized for the behavior of its players, its coach František Macháček also admitted to unacceptable behavior, and he also received a red card. “However, it cannot be said that Krutin’s assistant was insulted, that cannot be called an insult. After a push that wouldn’t even have defeated my four-year-old son, he fell down, somersaulted and held his eye,” he described to Denik. “Then the judges played everything to the end when they called the police and went to the hospital for treatment,” he added.

Duchcov was bothered by a number of inaccuracies in the match report and the fact that the Údlice players who were involved in the jostling on the field were not punished. Based on his written protest and a video recording with the players Matěj Drbohlav and Lukáš Matys, the disciplinary commission initiated additional disciplinary proceedings.

On Thursday, she handed down the final verdicts. As expected, 39-year-old Tomáš Fau received the highest sentence. He will not play for 18 months, and must also pay a fine of 15,000 crowns. More Duchovan punishments?

Václav Tichý was suspended for 12 months and fined ten thousand, Stanislav Fišer must serve 7 competitive matches, Jan Barnat 5 competitive matches, Tomáš Zoubek 4 competitive matches, Tomáš Holubička 1 competitive match, and coach František Macháček was also punished, to whom the disciplinary committee imposed a five-match suspension and a fine of 5 thousand crowns.

Lukáš Matys, a football player from Údlice, who watched the end of the match from the stands after being substituted and joined the fight as a spectator, is not allowed to play football for 8 months. In addition, they must contribute five thousand crowns to the union treasury. Matěj Drbohlav, who also took part in the disgusting shoving, was suspended for 5 competitive matches.

In its public communique, the ÚKFS referees’ commission strongly rejected that the match was conducted in a biased manner by the referees. At the same time, she evaluated individual disputed moments and described some of them as erroneous. She suggested that the disciplinary commission punish referee Saifert with a fine of CZK 750. The other referees of the match Údlice – Duchcov did not punish. All three arbitrators were already in action at the weekend, their delegation was not suspended. Referee Radek Krutina announced to the referee committee during the week that he does not want to be used for competitive matches until further notice.
