Slavia Prague confidently won the city derby against Sparta 2-0 on Sunday. LASK’s opponent in the round of 16 of the Football Conference League won thanks to goals from Ondrej Lingr (42nd) and Ivan Schranz (92nd) and defended the top spot in the Czech Football League ahead of Viktoria Pilsen, who had the same number of points.
Coach Jindrich Trpisovsky made some personnel changes against Sparta in front of 19,370 spectators, including Ondrej Kolar in goal, defender David Hovorka made his first appearance in 13 months after torn cruciate ligaments. “We feel excellent and have found our rhythm,” said Trpisovsky, whose team was able to sharpen their senses again for a whole week after several English weeks. “We’ve made up for the lack of training.” On Thursday (6.45 p.m.) Linz will be in Prague, the second leg in the LASK alternative stadium in St. Pölten will take place a week later.
