Winners of all months then meet each other to be awarded a goal of the year title.Josef Hušbauer scored 6 goals for Slavia in 2017. First one in February against Příbram, important one against Sparta on September, but the most important goals came against Maccabi in UEFA Europa League in November.
In the last minutes of the first half against Maccabi away, Hušbauer latched onto a ball several meters behind the box and fired it into the top corner of Rajković’ net. Later in the second half Slavia no 10 added second to make it 2-0.
“It was a quick break at the end of the opening half. There was an open space in front of me and I believed I could hit the target. I did and it was an important goal for us,” Hušbauer remembers.
Slavia no 10 believes there are another similar goals waiting. “I am still quite young, there are six or seven years in front of me. I would not be angry if I’d score one such goal every year,” added Hušbauer.
