Sparta, povzbuzená středeční výhrou nad Plzní v semifinále MOL Cupu, mohla jít zkraje utkání do vedení. Po dlouhém autu Jaroslava Zeleného se míč odrazil k Martinovi Vitíkovi, který ze tří kroků přestřelil.
Domácí následně zahrozili pohlednou kombinační akcí, na jejímž konci Pavel Šulc poslal oblouček na zadní tyč, kde před Matějem Vydrou zachraňoval ve vzduchu Jaroslav Zelený.
V 17. minutě měl velkou šanci plzeňský Cadu, namísto střely z jedné ale balon zasekl, čímž prováhal možnost k zakončení. Za dalších deset minut Doosan Arena málem slavila gól.
V levém rohu velkého vápna napřáhl Šulc, jeho povedený obstřel pravačkou vytáhl Peter Vindahl na tyč. Vzápětí přišla značná nepříjemnost pro Spartu, když kvůli zranění přišla o Veljka Birmančeviče.
Po několikaminutové hluché pasáži v nastavení prvního poločasu udeřila Plzeň. Po chybě Adama Ševínského šli domácí do přečíslení, přihrávku Šulce tečoval ve skluzu Elias Cobbaut do břevna vlastní brány. Míč, který se odrazil na malé vápno pak uklidil do sítě hlavou Amar Memič.
Krátce poté ale přišla pro Plzeň velká rána. Po srážce s Vitíkem byl dvakrát ošetřovaný brankář Martin Jedlička, který nakonec nenastoupil do druhé půle. Mezi tyče musel Viktor Baier.
Viktoria mohla Spartě odskočit na dva góly v xx minutě. Po ťukesu Šulc – Vydra – Prince Adu nastřelil ghanský útočník tyč. Vzápětí u letenskou síť rozvlnil po trestném kopu Sampson Dweh, VAR však odhalil 17centimetrový ofsajd plzeňského stopera.
Sparta potřebovala nutně bodovat, trenér Lars Friis nasadil postupně do hry útočné typy. Včetně ekvádorského křídelníka Angela Preciada, který nastoupil do zápasu po půl roce.
Jenže hned z první akce po jeho příchodu na trávník domácí podruhé udeřili. Adu se prodral až do šestnáctky, jeho střelu sice obránci zablokovali, odražený míč už Šulc poslal neomylně do brány. Další brance Západočechů zabránil jasně nejlepší sparťan na hřišti Vindhal, který fantasticky lapil hlavičku Šulce z malého vápna.
Když 10 minut před koncem odstoupil zraněný Matěj Ryneš a Friis už za něj nemohl vyslat náhradu (všechna střídání už předtím využil), bylo jasné, že Plzeň dokráčí ke třem bodům.

Damian Lillard injury update: Bucks star diagnosed with torn left Achilles tendon suffered during playoff game
Getty Images Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has torn his left Achilles tendon, the team announced Monday. It's news that the Bucks feared would be confirmed after an MRI Monday, and now the sobering reality has set in. Lillard will miss the rest of the playoffs for the Bucks, and will likely also miss a good chunk -- if not all -- of next season rehabbing from the injury.The injury occurred just six minutes into the first quarter of Game 3 on Sunday. Lillard was attempting to corral an offensive rebound off a missed Gary Trent Jr. 3-pointer, but as he tried to accelerate, the All-Star guard crumpled to the ground, visibly in pain. Play continued as Lillard sat at the 3-point line, and as Kyle Kuzma tried to help him off the floor at the next dead ball, Lillard […]

Vanderlei Luxemburgo ganha força nos bastidores do Santos para a função de coordenador técnico
Luxa pode se tornar coordenador do Santos (Foto: Gustavo Aleixo/Cruzeiro) Enquanto busca seu futuro técnico, o Santos tentará resolver algumas situações internas de futebol, indicando a possibilidade de contratar um coordenador técnico para o departamento, O nome desejado para o cargo é o de um velho conhecido do torcedor santista, Vanderlei Luxemburgo Luxa de volta? Segundo Ricardo Martins, da TNT, o ex-treinador do Peixe é o nome preferido da diretoria para assumir o cargo e este vem conseguindo aprovação internamente no clube, muito devido ao histórico de suas passagens pela Vila Belmiro.

What winning the Champions League would mean for the four remaining clubs
David Mosse Soccer Analyst <!--> And then there were four in this edition of the UEFA Champions League with the semifinals set to get underway this week. The competition began with 81 clubs from across the continent, but as has become commonplace in recent years, there is nary a Cinderella left at this stage.The increasingly top-heavy nature of European football means no one is surprised that four clubs with the pedigree of Arsenal, PSG, Barcelona and Inter are the last ones standing.

Bills GM Brandon Beane expresses frustration on radio after being criticized for not drafting a receiver
The Buffalo Bills didn't win the Super Bowl last season, but the team had a lot going for it. After trading away Stefon Diggs last offseason, Buffalo's offense somehow improved and Josh Allen took home his first MVP award.While Allen and the rest of the offense look strong again in 2025, the Bills neglected to address that side of the ball during most of the 2025 NFL Draft, instead focusing on strengthening the team's defense. Buffalo's strategy — particularly the team's decision to not take a wide receiver early — came under fire on "The Jeremy and Joe" radio show in Buffalo.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBeane made a scheduled appearance on the show shortly after that conversation, and wasn't happy about being criticized for not grabbing a receiver, according to ESPN."Well, you guys were b****ing in 2018 about Josh Allen, you guys wanted Josh […]
