USK Prague B — Radotin: 81:63, 1. Liga

USK Prague B saw off Radotin 81 to 63 in the 1. liga on Sunday afternoon. The hosts moved to 19 games played while the visitors stayed on 18. By then the result was clear enough to settle the evening.

We had given an away win at 52 per cent confidence, but the match refused to follow that path. The home side held their nerve when it mattered and turned the game into something else. Things came to a head in the second quarter and Prague B never looked back.

Radotin had won eight of their eighteen league games before this one, sitting sixth in the table. USK Prague B sat seventh with seven wins and eleven defeats. The history between them adds an edge, but today the table position told the real story.

What struck me was how the game opened. Prague B were everywhere, pressing the ball and forcing Radotin into awkward decisions. By the time the visitors tried to claw their way back, the deficit was too large. The clean-sheet run came to an end for Radotin, though that is not the right term here.

The standings now shift slightly. Prague B sit on the edge of the play-off conversation with 19 games played. Radotin remain sixth but with ten losses already, and they cannot afford to lose another.
