A point of regret. Slovácko squandered a two-goal lead, played Partizan 3:3

Slovácko takes a point from their first ever match in the cup group. However, the point has a bitter taste, the Moravians were still leading 2:0 at half-time.

Slovácko started very actively and took the lead in the fifth minute. Jan Kalabiška shot from the edge of the area and gave the goalkeeper no chance. Four minutes later Milan Petržela had a second goal, but the Black defence stopped his attempt.

In the 19th minute it worked. Stanislav Hoffman first hit the bar with his head, but Kalabiška made no mistake. Slovácko was on a roll, Partizan in crisis. The frustration showed in the 23rd minute when Kristijan Belic ran over Petr Reinberk and saw a red card.

Hradiště were more active for the rest of the first half, but they didn’t get any more chances. Right after the change of sides, however, the visitors reduced the deficit.

Fousseni Diabate headed the ball in from a volley and shot past Filip Nguyen. Daniel Holzer could have reacted immediately, but missed the back post by a whisker. And he was very unfortunate.

On the other side, Diabate rounded three players in white and equalised with the help of a run. And in the 63rd minute, the game was turned. Ricardo Gomes, from a corner, gave Nguyen no chance. Slovácko then took the initiative again, but struggled at the end.

In the 83rd minute, it worked. Michal Kohút shot Libor Kozák, who could celebrate. on the other side, Gomes could have struck a second time, but this time he hit the crossbar. The end belonged to Slovácko, but the decisive goal was not scored by the outsider and they tied 3:3.
