Teplice
What started as a promising away performance for Teplice quickly turned into a tale of two penalties and late-match chaos. Michal Bilek's early spot-kick gave the visitors the ideal start, but Pardubice's response was swift through Vojtech Patrak, who redeemed himself after picking up a booking just seven minutes earlier. The match descended into anarchy in the final stages as both sides saw red cards - Jan Fortelny dismissed for a foul before Emmanuel Godwin's violent conduct triggered a mass confrontation that saw four players booked in stoppage time. The point does little for either side's ambitions, with both teams likely frustrated at missing the opportunity for three points in what proved to be a fiery encounter.
How entertaining was this match?
Two teams locked on 25 points meet in a crucial relegation battle at Ohrazenice UMT. Teplice hold the recent psychological edge with three straight wins over Pardubice, but the hosts boast superior historical dominance and home advantage in this basement battle.
