TWINKIE STADIUM
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Bernard Zelina kicked off to start the match. Milan Bulín stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Josef Budín's shot from short distance in the 4th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Josef Budín in the 7th minute of play forced PRAGUE CITY FC's goalkeeper Milan Bulín to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 9th minute, Bernard Zelina hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. 16 minutes into the game, Bernard Zelina cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Milan Bulín was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Bernard Zelina scored 0-2 in the 20th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Milan Bulín, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. After having played for 23 minutes, Jaroslav Sejkora managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. PRAGUE CITY FC's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jaroslav Sejkora was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Bernard Zelina struck a weak shot in the 25th minute. Milan Bulín didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for AC Hostivar. The audience thought a goal was coming when Jaroslav Sejkora got free with Zbyšek Holásek in the 27th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a rather tough play, AC Hostivar's Milan Kalivoda got a free kick in the 28th minute. Jaroslav Sejkora could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 29th minute of the match, but Zbyšek Holásek made a huge save. In the 31st minute of the match PRAGUE CITY FC got a corner. AC Hostivar's goalie ran out to the linesman to protest the call, but the linesman resolutely pointed his flag at the cornerflag. Dominik Tomis ran over to the corner to take the kick. The corner led PRAGUE CITY FC's Dominik Tomis to fire away a dangerous shot which Zbyšek Holásek despite some difficulties managed to get hold on the ball. In the 33rd minute of the match Jan Habarta shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Zbyšek Holásek showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 35th minute Josef Budín shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Milan Bulín saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Milan Kalivoda hit a great freekick 36 minutes into the match. Disappointed in the 1-2 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The wind increased when Milan Zajac made the kick off in the second half. Milan Bulín made a fantastic save in the 52nd minute, when Josef Budín sent off a good shot on target. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Bernard Zelina in the 60th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Milan Bulín saved PRAGUE CITY FC from getting behind. Zbyšek Holásek showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Milan Zajac, who was totally free with the ball in the 61st minute. In the 64thth minute of the game Milan Zajac who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but AC Hostivar's Zbyšek Holásek was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. The attack was good, but when Bernard Zelina in the 67th minute was about to shoot he didn't kick quite good enough and the ball went high over goal. Josef Budín recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 70th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 73 minutes, Jan Habarta mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the PRAGUE CITY FC and the AC Hostivar players grew even worse after the yellow card. Bernard Zelina received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 75th minute. Milan Bulín tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Jaroslav Sejkora's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Zbyšek Holásek was relentless in the 78th minute of the game. An unexpectedly hard shot by Bernard Zelina in the 83rd minute of play forced PRAGUE CITY FC's goalkeeper Milan Bulín to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. In the 84th minute, AC Hostivar's Bernard Zelina dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-4. Milan Bulín made an important save on a dangerous shot by Josef Budín in the 87th minute. Jaroslav Švaříček hit a great freekick 92 minutes into the match. Zbyšek Holásek showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Jaroslav Sejkora, who was totally free with the ball in the 93rd minute. If Josef Budín had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 96th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The PRAGUE CITY FC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. AC Hostivar were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
