Energie Cottbus 2:4 Mladá Boleslav — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Daniel Langhamer scored once and ran the midfield as Mladá Boleslav beat Energie Cottbus 4-2 in a Club Friendly Games fixture that offered little beyond sharpening legs. The Czech side struck first on 38 minutes and, despite two quick Cottbus responses, never looked troubled in a game that served only as preparation.

The turning point arrived in a frantic 60-second spell just before half-time: Langhamer fired Mladá Boleslav ahead on 38 minutes, only for Justin Butler to level for Cottbus a minute later. After the break Jan Buryán restored the visitors' lead on 51 minutes, and two goals in as many minutes from Solomon John and Jan Zika either side of Erik Engelhardt's 67th-minute reply effectively ended the contest. Filip Matousek and Moritz Hannemann both collected yellow cards for late tackles.

Possession was split exactly at 50 percent each, and corners were close at 3-2 in Cottbus’s favour, so neither side truly dominated the run of play. Daniel Langhamer earned the man-of-the-match award with an 8.81 rating for his goal from midfield, outshining every other player on the pitch. No further fixtures await either side.
