Home suffering without end
The Boleslav team has not won a home fixture in the Gambrinus liga this spring and as in the preceding goalless match against České Budějovice, the players suffered the same score-line against Viktoria Žižkov, the second last team in the league. They often wasted their passes in an unexpectedly nervous performance and could not overcome a weakening rival in final minutes as they pushed their opponents towards goal. No Boleslav player was able to produce a surprising final pass or push through the compact defence of a team under immense pressure.
Papadopulos shot the first spring win
The Boleslav players gained the first spring win on an uneven Kladno pitch that was not in favour of combination performance. The head-coach Pavel Hapal sent a basic line-up onto the pitch without dramatic changes when compared with the preliminary four league matches that his team did not manage to win. The left fullback Tomáš Hrdlička after an injury and Václav Procházka in the position of a defensive midfielder appeared for the first time in the basic squad. Papadopulos decided a nervous match with the only goal when he headed a centre pass by Kalina, coincidentally a former Kladno player, into the net.
Bolka remains without a spring win
Mladá Boleslav continued suffering even in the fourth match of the spring season and České Budějovice confirmed the reputation of the tie king of the Gambrinus League. The goalless draw is another disappointment for Mladá Boleslav in their bid for participation in the European Cup. The Budějovice team presented very well organized playing. The Dynamo players defended carefully and set out for dangerous attacks. The Boleslav players focused too much on avoiding conceding an easy goal and the necessity to close the gap on their rival like in the three preceding league matches. They performed unexpectedly nervously and inaccurately.
Bolka defended a point one man down
The Boleslav players lost the first half in which they conceded two goals and untimely saw Kalina sent from the pitch. However it was at least a point gained when they scored two late goals while playing a man down. Sylvestre reduced the gap in the 77th minute and Pecka equalized in the second minute of added time. The head-coach of Mladá Boleslav, Pavel Hapal, made two changes to the line-up from the preceding match. He deployed Rolko in defence and Kúdela in the centre of the midfield line. Procházka, Sedláček, Dittrich, Hrdlička, Nečas, Opiela and Šeda were left on the bench, and the injured Kysela, Řezníček and Táborský did not travel with the team to Haná at all.
Bolka lost a home match for the second time
The tradition of the matches between Boleslav and Brno was retained. And even twice – there were many goals and the guest team enjoyed points. The Boleslav team lost both home matches in the opening of the spring season when they conceded a total of six goals in them. After Jablonec, Brno defeated Boleslav, too. The Brno players managed to score important goals in the openings of both halves. Pecka and Papadopulos from the Boleslav team hit only the goal post in the first half and the referee Adam forgave the Brno defenders evident hand balls in the penalty area twice. It means that Boleslav slipped down from the second to the fourth position in the league standings.
