Referees Admit Sparta’s Goal in Plzeň Should Not Have Stood

1 min read

A goal that gave Sparta Prague a 1-0 lead at Viktoria Plzeň in the 14th round of the Czech First League should not have counted, according to the referees’ committee of the Czech Football Association.

Foul on Dweh

In its official communiqué, the committee said Sparta forward Jonatan Brunes fouled Plzeň centre-back Sampson Dweh just before the goal was scored. The infringement made the strike invalid, and the committee confirmed the decision was a mistake.

The admission comes after the weekend fixture, in which the disputed goal had a direct effect on the scoreline in the western Bohemian city.
