Match

The wait goes on for Jihlava

12 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

No sign of nerves from Youssoupha Sanyang at 21 — 8.58

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Youssoupha Sanyang did not need any: 8.58, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad

Tempers go at Jihlava

David Jurásek was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Stefan Jovanoski is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 20 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Patrick Kpozo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match

Youssoupha Sanyang’s goal not enough for Jihlava

Youssoupha Sanyang scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Slovacko, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The terraces

The crowd has taken to Youssoupha Sanyang

At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad

The manager makes an example of José Luis Gamonal

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings

Luan Santos keeps on missing

Shots: 5, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

In brief

The Mlada Boleslav Chronicle

12 Oct 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match

Whatever happens, Mlada Boleslav do not lose

7 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Squad

Tempers go at Mlada Boleslav

Ondřej Karafiát was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

José Antonio Martínez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings

Solomon John was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.60. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Match

Mlada Boleslav find a way past Pribram

Pribram made Mlada Boleslav work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Roman Macek was immovable

18 times he got in the way of something. Centre-halves get written about when they make mistakes and ignored when they do not, so an afternoon like this needs saying out loud: he is the reason the scoreline reads as it does.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Matouš Krulich

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Loan watch

Stefan Jovanoski wants to come home

“I did not go to Jihlava to sit and watch. I want to come back to Mlada Boleslav and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

Squad

Mlada Boleslav pick somebody else ahead of Marvin Knoll

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

In brief
