Published on by Akawor Chichetam

Victor Olatunji's scoring streak continued on Sunday, but his efforts were not enough to secure a much-needed victory for his team Sparta Prague.

The Nigerian forward found the back of the net early in the match, only for his side to settle for a 2-2 draw against Mlada Boleslav.

This latest result left fans frustrated, as Sparta Prague’s pursuit of a vital win slipped further away.

Sparta Prague entered this match under significant pressure, having suffered back-to-back defeats in the league and Champions League.

The team hoped for a positive result to end their poor run, but the draw did little to calm the frustration surrounding their performances.

Victor Olatunji's impact on Sparta Prague's draw

The 25-year-old's goal came in the opening moments of the first half, marking his second consecutive game on the scoresheet for Sparta Prague.

However, despite his efforts, the visitors could not hold on to their lead. After Olatunji’s goal, Mlada Boleslav equalised through Matyas Vojta, levelling the score before the halftime break.

The Nigerian forward made an immediate impact just eight minutes into the match, putting the visitors ahead. However, the home team was not ready to let go, and they responded.

After the restart, Elias Cobbaut briefly restored the visitors' lead, but once again, Mlada Boleslav had an answer.

A late equaliser from Martin Kralik sealed the 2-2 draw, leaving Sparta Prague to reflect on missed opportunities.

Olatunji contributed four shots during the match, but only one was on target before being substituted in the 70th minute.

The disappointing result leaves Sparta Prague in fourth place with 26 points from 14 games, having won eight, drawn two, and lost four.

With the international break ahead, Olatunji and his teammates now turn their focus to their next fixture against Teplice, hoping to bounce back after another underwhelming performance.
