Slavia advanced to the group stage of the Europa League after a 2-0 win over Raków in extra time. The euphoria after the winning goal was all the sweeter. What did coach Jindřich Trpišovský say after the game?
It was not a good performance in Poland, but the 1: 2 defeat was a relatively playable opponent for the rematch. But the Poles did not come just to defend and wanted to score goals.
“A difficult match. We brought back a one-goal deficit, we were up against a team that has defensive rear football in its blood. It suits them to spend time defensively, it was terribly difficult to get there,” said the Slavia coach in an interview with the club’s website.
Ivi López had chances again and he couldn’t take advantage of the biggest one, when he had a defacto empty goal in front of him, so Moses Usor took the game into extra time, Ivan Schranz decided the game in the overtime.
“We survived an unpleasant moment, but as the match progressed we took the reins and started to create chances. Especially after Usor’s goal and the substitution, our performance picked up a lot, but unfortunately the goalkeeper made several saves.
Basically, it was a battle to the end, and we managed to convert that one moment and turn away a penalty. We didn’t really want to go for those, I’m glad that the team pushed the frenetic crowd into that goal situation despite their fatigue,” Trpišovský added.
The Slavs were then able to celebrate in front of a sold-out Eden with the fans, for whom this is an experience of a lifetime. Now it is only a question of who the Susians will face in the group stage. The draw is scheduled for noon today.
