In matchday 16, Pardubice visited Ďolíček. After the away loss of Bohemians, the aim of this match was clear; to win.

The first 10 minutes of the match were in hands of Bohemians and they attacked especially from the corner kicks, which were taken by Josef Jindřišek. The third corner in a row was the most dangerous. The ball got on the head of Jakub Rada, he headed on goal but the defender stopped it. Pardubice, on the other side, had also one chance, but it all ended when Javůrek didn’t reach for the cross behind the defensive line of the Kangaroos.

The parade of great chances came around 20th minute of the match. Jan Růžička took a shot and the keeper Shejbal caught it with an acrobatic save.

Just two minutes later, Shejbal wasn’t tall enough to catch the next shot. Kalina found Jirouš who brought the ball to the goal. 1:0 for the home team.

Right after the first touch of the ball, Petr Nerad got to the ball and had three big chances in next 15 minutes. The first chance was one-on-one run against the away keeper, but the experiences of the keeper won and keeper got the ball.

Pardubice appeared in another chance when Dittrich had a fast shot, but Sňozík caught it. The other side of the pitch showed a great cross from Jindřišek which landed on the head of Jakub Rada who finished it but unsuccessfully. The keeper got it on the goal line.

Ten minutes left till the halftime and Petr Nerad showed some 100% chances, however without success. The first came after Bartek’s cross, ball got to Moravec and Moravec prepared the ball to Nerad, who took a shot around the keeper and also just wide from the post. Two minutes later, it was Kalina who crossed the ball, found Nerad in the penalty area and Nerad’s shot hit the keeper only.

Pardubice had a chance to equalize just before the halftime break. Jeřábek got into the penalty area, took a shot but Sňozík showed a great skill and punched the ball out. Moravec didn’t get the cross from Jirouš and the teams left to the cloakrooms with a score of 1:0 for the home team.

Moravec wasn’t successful today, but he wanted to change that statistics. Right after the first touch with a ball in the second half, Jindřišek kicked the ball away from the defense and fortunately right into the area where Moravec was. He took a quick shot and doubled the lead of Bohemians. 
 
Jakub Rada had another chance to make the score difference even bigger. His free kick curved right to the post but Shejbal was where he had to be.

Pardubice lowered the score in 70th minute from a sporadic chance. Janecký got a cross from the right side into the penalty box, scored and the match got interesting again with 20 minutes remaining till time.

Pardubice felt the chance, pressured towards Sňozík’s goal, but the defense didn’t let them create any bigger chance. The final decision came 3 minutes before the end of the match. Pavel Vyhnal gained the ball, got around the last defender and scored with a shot around the keeper.
