Olayinka in a post match interview disclosed that he was happy returning to the team.

"I'm very satisfied. I am happy for everyone for such a good match. The last few weeks have been difficult for us, it feels great to come back with a win."

Asked how felt after missing important games due to the suspension, Olayinka said it was a difficult period.

"It was very difficult for me, I was angry with myself after what happened. But I remained prepared and told myself that it was over. I can't bring back the past, I can't do anything about it. To come back, to try to help the team, that was my goal. That was also important for the team."

With the win, Slavia Praha are top same point as Sparta Praha who are second and Olayinka will be expected to continue his goal scoring form after 11 goals this season when they play Banik next.
