The debut of Lithuanian national team forward Tomas Radzinevičius in Czech Republic ended with his team's defeat - in the first match of the "Tipsport Cup" winter tournament B group, away in Liberec, they had to recognize the superiority of "Mlada Boleslav".
As expected, the Lithuanian legionnaire started the match in the starting lineup and had one good chance to score in the middle of the second half, but his shot was saved by the opponents' goalkeeper. "Liberec" failed to score, while "Mlada Boleslavi" scored twice - in the 56th minute Marian Palatas scored, and David Brunclik secured the victory for his team in the 88th minute.
The next match of this friendly tournament awaits the "Slovan" team on January 17 against "Hradec Kralove". The B group matches of Liberec team will end with a match against "Jablonec" on January 21. The semi-finalists of the "Tipsport Cup" will be the winners of four groups.
The second part of the Czech "Gambrinus Liga" will start on February 18, but the attacking leader of the championship-leading "Slovan" will no longer be able to help the team. Slovak national team forward Filip Holosko, who will celebrate his 21st birthday in a couple of weeks, is moving to Turkey - he has signed a 4.5-year contract with "Manisaspor" club, which recently also announced the acquisition of Prague's "Sparta" and Czech national team defender Lukas Zelenka.
