Nigerian forward Victor Olatunji found the back of the net once again, but his efforts were not enough to prevent Sparta Prague from leaving the Lokotrans Arena frustrated after a 2-2 draw with Mlada Boleslav.
Despite his solid form, Sparta Prague’s inability to secure a victory continues to trouble both the team and their fans, Footballrover reports.
Olatunji, who has been in fine form this season, scored his fourth goal of the Czech First League campaign in the first half of the match, a crucial strike that initially put his side ahead.
However, the draw means that Sparta Prague’s recent struggles persist, as they have failed to win in three consecutive games, following a 3-1 defeat to Banik Ostrava and a 2-1 loss to French side Brest in the Champions League.
Sparta Prague frustrated again despite Victor Olatunji’s contribution
The game saw a fast start, with Victor finding the breakthrough just eight minutes into the match.
However, Mlada Boleslav quickly responded, with Matyas Vojta scoring to level the game before halftime.
After the break, Sparta Prague regained the lead through Elias Cobbaut, but their hopes were dashed once again as Martin Kralik netted an equaliser for the home team just minutes before full-time.
Victor Olatunji contributed with four shots, but only one hit the target before he was substituted in the 70th minute, making way for Albion Rrahmani.
The result left Sparta Prague sitting in fourth place with 26 points from 14 matches, having won just eight of their games.
As Sparta Prague looks ahead to their next fixture against Teplice, they will have to regroup during the international break, hoping for a change in fortunes.
Despite Olatunji’s consistent performances, the team will need to find a way to turn this frustrating draw into victories.
