SPARTA-BARCELONA 7:2
— Antonín Hojer | 06/01/1926 —

In the return match, our attack played the way Sparta's attack should always play. Led by the brilliant Dvořáček in the center, he went through the defences of the home team at will. Everyone played excellently. Dvořáček is in a class of his own at centre-forward, he distributes the ball accurately both to the insiders and to the wingers in the style of the unforgettable Vašek Pilat, but faster. Hajný dazzled with his dribbling and played selflessly in front of the goal; has a large share of goals scored. Šíma did not drive the ball for long, served accurately and shot well like Dvoráček. Jelínek played one of his best games; he escaped excellently and crossed flawlessly, he also scored a beautiful goal. Novak also played well, but he had a difficult position against Barcelona's best half-back. Our half-backs played excellently. Kolenáty kept Sagi-Barba, Barcelona's best forward. This time the Červený passed well on the ground and held the wing well. Carvan played excellently at centre-half, especially heading all high balls. In defence, Perner played well; I started injured from the previous match against Barcelona just so as not to spoil the mood. Hochman caught some good shots. The goals he conceded were shots from the inside right from close range.

I would like our forward to continue to play as well and still in today's lineup, when it is fully fit, it will be the terror of all defences. However, it would have to play in today's style and selflessly pass to players in the best position to shoot in front of the goal. We won the cup, which we are very happy about, the mood in our team promises further successes. Sparta lineup: Hochmann — Hojer, Perner — Kolenatý, Carvan, Červený — Novák Síma, Dvořáček, Hajný, Jelínek, Poláček played instead of Novák towards the end of the second game. The referee was excellent, he judged correctly, although the audience did not like it. Barcelona started with substitutes for goalkeeper Plattkó, without Samitier and Piera, but with players who will continue to play for Barcelona. 35,000 spectators watched the cruel defeat of their darlings.
