He did not speculate and scored uncompromisingly: VIDEO Schranz’s goal pushed Slavia into the playoffs – Športky.sk

BERLIN – Slovak football representative Ivan Schranz was the hero of Slavia Prague on Thursday. Thanks to his goal, the “stitches” won a 1: 1 draw in the Union Berlin in a direct battle for the second place in the E-group of the European Conference League. The Czech champion secured her to advance to the playoffs for the eight-finals, the German club finished in third place by one point behind the opponent and said goodbye to the European competition.

Schranz scored Slavia’s only goal in 50 minutes. He used the “selfless” pass of the disoriented home defender Tim Baumgartl and overcame the goalkeeper Frederik Ronnow with a tough shot from the penalty area, which fell into the upper left corner. “I didn’t speculate, I just hit the ball. I hit it pretty well,” the 28-year-old winger rejoiced.

“I saw that the guys pressed well, the defender put the ball back blindly. He pushed me out beautifully. I didn’t invent it, I focused on the end. It turned out great.” Schranz said in an interview for the sport.cz portal.

That’s why they took me to Slavia

At the right time, he showed that he can score goals. It was his first accurate hit in the Slavia jersey since September 19, when he scored in the league against the Bohemian 190s.

“I can play in several positions, that’s why I was taken to Slavia. I helped the team, I’m very happy,” Schranz continued, who greatly appreciates the division of points with the sixth team of the German Bundesliga: “We defeated them at home, now we have drawn a draw with them. They are of great quality, but hats off in front of our team.”

The joy of the process was all the greater because Slavia is currently plagued by extensive wastes. She had only five players on the substitute on Thursday. “We lost important players. We are glad that we managed the match,” added Schranz.

The coach of the citizens of Prague, Jindřich Trpišovský, was also satisfied, although he admitted that, given the course of the meeting, he also thought of three points: “As we criticized the boys for the European Cup matches this year, I praise them this time. We got the point we needed and advanced. However, we hit the pole and crossbar, while the home team scored from the only chance they had. have not reached the victorious end. “

The home side put themselves ahead 1 – 0 after 64 minutes courtesy of a breakthrough from Max Kruse, who scored with a stunning volley following a cross from the right wing. The Union will no longer compete in European competitions in the spring, Rotterdam is behind the clear group winner Feyenoord Rotterdam by up to seven points. “The red card in Prague, the loss 1: 2 with Rotterdam and today’s match – that was too much for us in the final show. We scored practically our own goal, it completely threw us off balance. It was obvious on our game that he hurt us,” commented duel for RTL Union coach Urs Fischer.
