League Play-Off

Chrastava
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Max Otruba started the match with the kick off. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Josef Hozák in the 8th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Zdeněk Vondráček prevented the ball from getting in the gole. After 9 played minutes, Fučíková's Jan Klinger shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Zdeněk Lesák came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Fučíková reached it. A collision led to Fučíková getting a freekick after 11 minutes play. Pavel Arnošt hit a great ball. Fučíková's Fedor Kašpar suffered a sore thigh after 17 minutes and couldn't finish the game. Zdeněk Till's late challenge caught a Fučíková's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Zdeněk Till helped the player get up and apologised. In the 19th match minute, Chrastava was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Radek Vejmelka to maneuver through the defense. Zdeněk Lesák stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Max Otruba's shot from short distance in the 21st minute. Max Otruba struck a weak shot in the 23rd minute. Zdeněk Lesák didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fučíková. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Max Otruba in the 29th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Zdeněk Lesák saved Chrastava from getting behind. Zdeněk Vondráček showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Josef Hozák, who was totally free with the ball in the 31st minute. Zdeněk Lesák showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Liboslav Hromek in the 33rd minute of the match. The supporters of Fučíková booed when Chrastava was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 39 match minutes in a wonderful position. Jiří Valach didn't get a good kick on the ball. Max Otruba struck a weak shot in the 40th minute. Zdeněk Lesák didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Fučíková. 45 minutes into the match, Chrastava's goal looked a bit too open when Max Otruba came free, but Zdeněk Lesák reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

In the 56th minute Josef Hozák shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Zdeněk Vondráček saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 60 minutes into the game, Ronald Jureček was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Fučíková's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Chrastava the free kick. After a rather tough play, Fučíková's Ronald Jureček got a free kick in the 60th minute. Zdeněk Vondráček made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Tomáš Racek in the 63rd minute of play. 67 minutes into the match, Chrastava's goalkeeper Zdeněk Lesák had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Liboslav Hromek. 71 minutes into the match, Josef Hozák notched a goal, 1-0, to the right of Fučíková's Zdeněk Vondráček. Zdeněk Vondráček was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. In the 75th match minute, Chrastava was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Jiří Valach to maneuver through the defense. Fučíková's Marián Nikl got a good chance for a goal in the 77th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Liboslav Hromek sent away a hard shot on goal in the 80th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Max Otruba had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 86th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. The home crowd let out a huge roar when the referee blew for the end of the game. Chrastava were victorious despite being under pressure from Fučíková for much of the match.
