Tactical story

The visitors began to win more second balls and deliver crosses into the box, which led to their equaliser.

In the end, Krimice’s set-piece defending and counter-attacking threat proved decisive. Their willingness to keep pushing for a winner, even after surrendering a two-goal lead, showed good character. Spartak Sobeslav will be disappointed with the manner of the late concession, but their comeback demonstrated real fighting spirit.
