Jihlava – Bohemians 1:1

Lietava scored an equalizer

Two teams, recently playing well, met during 25th round. Bohemians got 8 points and Jihlava 11 from last 5 rounds and a very attractive football was expected.

However, the reality looked different from beginning. Kangaroos were making mistakes, they were moving slow and Jihlava was threatening the away side from fast counterattacks.
One of the notable moments came in 15th minute when Jánoš dribbled with the ball through the middle of the pitch. Jindřišek was pressing him and Jánoš tried to solve the situation with a pass to Masopust. Masopust chose the right way how to finish it, sent the ball between keeper’s legs and hit it in.

More chances for the home team came, Brabec and Pauschek were stopping one ball after another and Jihlava had no time to shoot.

Bohemians survived the difficult moments and started pushing. An inaccurate pass by home team sent the ball to Jindřišek, he found Hora, and he sprinted to the penalty area, took a shot from an angle and only hit the side net.

And kangaroos were successful one minute later. It was 38th minute when Rada got the ball, stayed with it, went around the defending player, took a long shot and hit the crossbar. The ball deflected in front of the goal where Lietava was prepared and had no difficulties to finish it.

The second half was ways different. Jihlava’s confidence disappeared, kangaroos were everywhere and chance came after another. It was Lietava who had the main role in one of those chances. He took a long shot and it went just wide.

Next chance came after a corner from Jindřišek. The corner itself was too long but Bertek returned the ball into the penalty area, Rada sent it on target but Hanuš was there.
Bartek created few more chances during the second half. His cross balls were not that dangerous, however, the chance from 70th minute was. Lietava was pressing Šourek, who sent a pass back to Hanuš. Jeremenko who just got on the field got into the possession of the ball and went one on one with the keeper. He lost balance and the ball went out.
Lietava got into a good chance after Rada’s pass but the home keeper boxed it away.

It looked like both teams will leave today with a point but suddenly Krch tackled in last minute. The free kick was taken by Vaculík, he passed it to Harba and Harba’s shot hit the post.

Immediately after that, the referee whistled the end and Kangaroos caught Slavia, the team Bohemians playing with next round, in a league table and the derby next week might hint the resolution of the relegation positions.
