It was a small miracle that Bohemians could even field a team. Eight of their reinforcements are still not registered, their arguably best player Szabo was shipped during the week to the first league team of Teplice, and two players who received red card last week were issued stops for one and four games, respectively. The coach Dusan Uhrin jr. had no choice but to use juniors – two of them appeared in the starting line up despite the fact that they played their junior league game just a day ago. On the other hand, the reserve team of Sparta fielded four players from their first team...
The first goal was scored from a disputed free kick by Baranek. Two other goals were scored by Střihavka - a player who was on a loan to Bohemians the last season.
