/PHOTO, VIDEO/ So this was something! The divisional leader from Chomutov defeated Kladno 2:1 in an unbelievable drama that they probably wouldn’t have invented even in Hollywood. An incredible attendance of 1,843 spectators saw it at the Chomutov stadium. The home team decided from the last action, in the fifth minute of regulation, when Filip Schreiner fired through goalkeeper Smrkovský. At that moment, the Chomutov stadium almost fell. Filip Schreiner was almost crushed by his teammates. In the ensuing scuffle, home coach Tomáš Smola and Kladno goalkeeping coach Jaroslav Tesař received red cards.

Exactly after half an hour of the game, the Chomutov sniper Daniil Doleček caused the crowd euphoria with his next goal, who after two unsuccessful attempts by his teammates finally pushed the ball past the goalkeeper Smrkovský. The joy lasted exactly seven minutes, because then the visitors equalized with Kolářský. The next goal was expected until the 95th minute, but football was fun. Something was always happening. Chomutov was extremely hot between the 80th and 90th minute, when Kladno poured one standard after another in front of goalkeeper Švejda. The home fighters resisted, they were out for blood. Some showed two lungs. The lever had the same gear engaged. Both teams wanted to win. In the end, Schreiner broke up the whole drama. At that moment, no one could hear his own word in the stadium.

“I yelled at Filip to pass it to me, he shot, so I wonder what he’s doing and he finally scored. Beauty,” laughed Daniil Doleček, the scorer of the first goal, patting teammate Schreiner on the back.
Chomutov now has a nine-point lead over Kladno at the top of the table. There are still six rounds to play, eighteen points are in the game, but the group from the north of the Czech Republic would have to play the rest of the matches without boots in order to win this one. “I dare to say that we’re going to catch it now, that we’re not going to let it slip away anymore. But watch out, we won’t slow down, we’ll go all the way to the last lap. When everything becomes clear, it will of course be a great relief,” said Filip Schreiner, the hero of Friday evening.

Coach Tomáš Smola did not see the exuberant celebrations and joy on the pitch, he disappeared into the bowels of the stadium after the red card. “A match with great intensity on both sides. Kladno tried to play constructively from the goalkeeper. We went to the press room, we knew what they were going to play and we said at the beginning that we would try how it would look. When we saw that it was working for us, we stepped on it the whole match. Some guys were really raking, but I was preparing them for that, because these games are just played that way. In short, it’s not just about football skills, but also about combativeness, shots on goal, chances. This was on our side today. In the end, it was a lucky goal, but I think we deserved to win,” assessed Chomutov captain Tomáš Smola.
