FC Viktoria Pilsen, the leader of Czech top competition, confirmed its position at Letna stadium. Pilsen defeated struggling Sparta Prague thanks to Jiracek´ s goal in the sixth league round. Pilsen leads the league with sixteen points in the league table, the second Olomouc loses two points and Sparta even seven. New Viktoria´s goaltender Pavlik guarded the goal. Zurek and Duris, the other assets of Pilsen team, warmed the bench. Home Sparta wanted to save its face after a beating with Zilina. Key players Matejovsky, Sionko and Wilfried appeared in the line-up. Viktoria had the first shooting chance after five minutes of the game, but Blazek made a brilliant save. Then two Pilsner breaks ended by offside, but those were mistakes from a line referee. In the 18th minute Sionko´ s head-butt missed the net. Sparta had two corner kicks in the end of the first half, but without a scoring opportunity. The start of the second half was not too attractive. The clutch happened after an hour of the match. Captain Horvath passed Jiracek and he scored from penalty area. Sparta was struggling, but desired for an equalizer. Eight minutes before the full time Rajtoral saved Pilsen after Sionko´s head-butt. A few minutes later Vachousek missed the post and sharpshooter Wilfried wasted a scoring chance. Pilsen won at Letna stadium in five years and holds the first position in the league table.
“ The match was carved out. We were luckier than Sparta today. I am very glad that we maintained the victory,“ happy coach Pavel Vrba claimed.
