Slavia Praha
Slovan Liberec
Slavia Praha ground out a narrow victory over Slovan Liberec in a scrappy encounter that was decided by Tomas Chory's second-half penalty. The match was characterized by ill-discipline from both sides, with six yellow cards issued including an early booking for manager J. Trpišovský. Chory was the central figure throughout, picking up a booking for arguing with officials in the first half before being involved in key moments around the 40th and 45th minute marks, ultimately converting from the spot on 59 minutes. Both managers made wholesale changes in the second half, with Liberec bringing on five substitutes around the 69th minute in search of an equalizer that never came, leaving Slavia to secure three points in what was a tactically disciplined but aesthetically poor affair.
How entertaining was this match?
