Příbor 5 - 1 Sedlec (381422544)

It was an exceptionally sunny day for the crowd of 38244 that came out to FC Příbor Square Garden. Paco Osete was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Auseklis Dabaris and Bogdan Marina. A 2-5-3 alignment was the formation of choice for Příbor. Lineup: Nezbeda - Zuiderveld, Plíhal - Millas, Slump, Parra, Viarengo, Tankosić - Achaval, Lenoir, Zavattoni.

Sedlec started off with a 4-5-1 lineup. The following players took the field: Šmucr - Gavardi, Couillaud, Busiello, Maloň - Glutz, Askenlius, Buzić, Štětina, Tolengo - Delarami.

Today, Sedlec's strategy involved concentrating on the flanks for their attacks. The visitors' central defence should have had no trouble clearing the pass to D. Millas, but the Příbor player managed to shrug them off and fired a low shot past the keeper to give his team the lead. 1 - 0! A magnificent combination in the middle resulted in Příbor's C. Achaval increasing the lead to 2 - 0. The home side's H. Zuiderveld came close to extending the lead 27 minutes into the game. His shot came in from the right hand side but A. Šmucr managed to save it with an unbelievable reaction stop. Players in Sedlec heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their central attacks to the wings instead. The visitors got one back when H. Tolengo finished off a pass from the left and scored after 35 minutes. 2 - 1 was the score. With 40 minutes played, Příbor put themselves up 3 - 1 when the visiting defenders lost the ball to A. Zavattoni, who came up from the left and proceeded to coolly round the keeper and knock the ball home. 3 - 1 was the score after the first half. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Příbor, with 67 percent of the ball.

L. Plíhal could have increased the lead after 49 minutes, but his shot hit the post after a nice combination in the middle of the park. After 50 minutes, Sedlec switched Z. Delarami with L. Sejk, hoping for a quick impact on the pitch. Cheers filled the stadium as C. Achaval broke through the visitors' central defence to put away the ball to increase the lead to 4 - 1 to Příbor. Things were going to get worse for the visitors. J. Parra squirmed through their central defence after 68 minutes, increasing the lead to 5 - 1. There was concern in the stands when, at the 72 minute mark, Sedlec's P. Štětina hit the ground hard, but he refused the attention of the trainer and rejoined his teammates on the pitch. After 78 minutes, a couple of quick and successful challenges followed by a shot from just outside the penalty area by A. Zavattoni might have resulted in another goal for Příbor. However, A. Šmucr made a spectacular save. Possession in this half belonged to Příbor, who controlled the ball 66 percent of the time.

A. Lenoir performed admirably for Příbor. However, D. Millas made a disastrous appearance. Sedlec's best player was P. Štětina. On the other hand, A. Šmucr's play was disheartening. The match ends 5 - 1.
