A one-man rearguard from Roberto Enciso
There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

The small margins put Teplice out
Out, 1‑2 to Slavia Prague, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Roberto Enciso will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Teplice the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Point won or two lost for Teplice?
Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Mlada Boleslav? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

The Vladimir Krejci talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Teplice know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
