Messed up celebration on Letné
Haraslín ended Letná’s wait for a goal in the 56th minute. The Slovakian representative guided the ball to the edge of the box and gave the Teplice goalkeeper no chance with an exhibition shot at the back post. However, the reigning champions only held the lead for five minutes. Bílek crossed from a standard position, Knapík ran onto the back post and leveled with his head. The home team briefly put the visitors under pressure, but captain Panák headed over from the edge of the penalty area. The Leten team did not create a more significant opportunity.
The people of Prague won only one of the last seven rounds and in the table they only managed to catch up with third Ostrava on points. Sparta’s loss to the leading city rival Slavia can increase to 14 points on Sunday, if the Vrsovič team wins at the stadium of hopelessly last České Budějovice.
Letenští spoiled the celebration of 131 years since the foundation of the club by losing. At the same time, they couldn’t get in the perfect mood for Tuesday’s Champions League match with Atlético Madrid.

Kozlov’s successful jubilee
It snowed overnight in Jablonec and in the morning the playground was under a layer of snow. However, the organizers put in a lot of effort and prepared a high-quality lawn. Miner moved well from the start and was slightly more active. Ostrava expressed their superiority with a goal in the 35th minute. Goalkeeper Markovič started a quick counter-attack with a kick, Ewerton, Holzer and Šín also touched the ball, which Riga released to the wing. The Slovakian representative got rid of the defender and opened the scoring with a placed shot with the help of the far post.
The home team did not wait long for an equaliser. The injured Polidar was replaced by Alégué, after two minutes on the pitch he ran onto Puskáč’s ideal pass and after excellent handling of the ball and a loop, the goalkeeper equalized. Ten minutes after the break, they turned the home score around. Alégué played a corner to the near post, Tekijaški headed the ball with his back to the goal and lobbed it past Markovič. In the end, Alégué again took care of Jablonec’s safety, who in the 84th minute “enjoyed” a vertical shot from Fortelný by soloing past several opponents and finishing into an empty goal.
Jablonec defeated Ostrava in the league after two losses in a row and won over them at home after three matches. North Bohemia coach Luboš Kozel coached his 300th match in the top competition and entered the Legends Club in a successful duel against the team he previously led.

Mlada Boleslav recorded its usual result
Boleslav won a tie for the seventh time out of the last eight rounds and confirmed the position of the league’s tie king.
After signs of several chances, Mladoboleslav struck in the 23rd minute and converted the first serious action into a leading goal. Stránský jumped onto Ladra’s cross from the left and opened the scoring with a header under the crossbar. They left for the cabins in a tie. Kohút’s cross from the right side in the second minute of the first half was easily headed by Krmenčík, to which Trmal was unable to react.
Gradually, the brisk pace dropped slightly and in the end, neither team got a significant chance. At home in the league with Boleslav, Slovácko scored for the fourth time in a row.

Only Dweh decided in Hradec
The goal in Hradec Králové did not come until the 83rd minute. Pilsen stopper Sampson Dweh placed the ball precisely with his header. With a 1:0 win, the West Bohemians secured second place in the table and leapfrogged third-placed Ostrava and fourth-placed Sparta to a difference of six points. They are five points behind leaders Slavia, but the red and whites have Sunday’s duel in České Budějovice to spare.
Plzeň defeated the visitors for the second time in the season and won for the fifth time out of the last six league matches. Hradec lost after five rounds and suffered only the second defeat of the year at home. East Bohemia is ninth in the incomplete table.
