Match

Sigma Olomouc win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 92th minute. Bohemians 1905 will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Market

Taiki Yamada puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Sigma Olomouc, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

A move Mannou Berger would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Mannou Berger is living that version at Sigma Olomouc, and it tends to show in the first month.

Market

Sigma Olomouc turn down Jablonec for Juan Alfredo Arrieta

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad

Péter Baráth in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sigma Olomouc this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Jan Mikula 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.

Squad

Julius Beck wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Sigma Olomouc know it.

Match

Sigma Olomouc see off Bohemians 1905

Three points for Sigma Olomouc, 1‑0 the final word against Bohemians 1905 in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Yunusa Muritala

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Adam Mesjasz breaks a bone — 63 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 63 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Kevin López: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Sigma Olomouc have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Sigma Olomouc

Péter Baráth 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

Real improvement from Mario Modric at Sigma Olomouc

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Mario Modric is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

Sigma Olomouc find a way past Pribram

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

Player ratings

Yunusa Muritala was the difference for Sigma Olomouc

Marked 7.75. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Player ratings

Antonis Siatounis shuts the door

Defensive actions: 16, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Market

The Tadeáš Stoppen conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Slovacko will make the call about Tadeáš Stoppen this week. Sigma Olomouc have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Player ratings

Fabijan Krivak shuts the door

Defensive actions: 12, and a clean sheet at the end of it. A centre-half's best afternoons look like nothing happening, which is precisely the point.

Squad

A fracture rules Todor Glišović out for 101 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Sigma Olomouc will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market

Sigma Olomouc turn down Pribram for Tadeáš Stoppen

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Sigma Olomouc sell Antonín Růsek for $1.4M

Antonín Růsek has left for Slavia Prague in a $1.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Tempers go at Sigma Olomouc

Péter Baráth 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.

Market

The John Dembe conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Guadalajara will make the call about John Dembe this week. Sigma Olomouc have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Squad

Words at Sigma Olomouc training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Matěj Mikulenka is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Boardroom

Milan Knobloch will join Sigma Olomouc for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Milan Knobloch has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Sigma Olomouc have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Loan watch

Juan Turletti counts the days

“I watch every Sigma Olomouc game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Rubin runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings

The afternoon belonged to Abubakar Ghali

7.60, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. Sigma Olomouc had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.
