Prestigious server rated Spartans’ performance against Brøndby! Who was the man of the match?

Sparta is out of the Europa League, but the sadness is at least mitigated by the fact that they are leaving the competition with an important win. The victory over Brøndby (2: 0) was crucial for both the club’s stay in the European Cup and the national coefficient ranking. The Czech Republic is also in a tug of war with Denmark for the key fifteenth position.

Now, let’s take a look together at the interesting data collected and evaluated by the prestigious WhoScored statistical server. Who shone in the match? Who was above average and who flopped?

According to the stats, 7 players in Sparta’s starting lineup were above average. The man of the match and scorer of the opening goal, Dávid Hancko, even got an 8.2 rating! This was helped by a great goal, of course, but Hancko also had the highest number of touches with the ball of all Sparta players (70). He had three shots on goal and made a total of 7 important defensive saves.

The really good numbers of the Slovak defender are complemented by the good performances of the rest of Sparta’s defensive players (except Wiesner). The goalkeeper Dominik Holec and the stopper duo of Ladislav Krejci Jr. and Filip Panák stood up to the challenge. All three got a rating over 7.

Ladislav Krejci Jr. had the second highest number of touches with the ball from Sparta (66) and his passing success rate was almost 80%. He also had 5 defensive saves and 2 successful dribbles.

Sparta’s second best player was the second goal scorer Adam Hložek. The 19-year-old offensive all-rounder took two shots, one of which was a goal. He made 3 key passes. What he needs to work on is the accuracy of his passes, which did not exceed 60%.

The worst-rated Spartan is of course Tomas Wiesner, who weakened Sparta in the space of ten minutes (47th and 57th minutes) and had to take an early shower after a second yellow card. WhoScored gave the right back a 5.63 rating.
