Pardubice secured a narrow 2:1 victory over Bohemians 1905 at Aréna CFIG on 19 September in the Czech League Regular Season - 9. The hosts took an early lead through Dávid Krčík's 2nd-minute strike before Roman Kvet equalised for the visitors in the 32nd. Václav Drchal's 52nd-minute goal proved decisive, though Bohemians had their chances to respond.
The match opened with Pardubice's intensity paying immediate dividends. Krčík found space to slot home before the visitors could settle. Kvet's response came just before the half-hour mark, showing Bohemians' willingness to attack. By then, the tempo had settled into something more measured.
Pardubice came out stronger after the break, with Drchal capitalising on a defensive lapse in the 52nd minute. Bohemians pushed for an equaliser but couldn't find the breakthrough. Traoré's second yellow card in the 89th minute reduced the visitors to ten men, though the outcome was already clear.
The statistics tell a story of contrasting approaches. Bohemians enjoyed 53 per cent possession and attempted 97 attacks compared to their opponents' 83. Yet Pardubice's efficiency was evident — six shots on target yielded two goals, while the visitors managed only three efforts on goal.
Both sides created one big chance each, but Pardubice's clinical finishing made the difference. The hosts completed 328 passes against 362 for Bohemians, though accuracy favoured the visitors at 30 per cent versus 43 per cent for shots on target.
The result leaves Pardubice in 13th place with eight points from nine games, while Bohemians remain 12th on nine points. Both teams showed vulnerability in defence, but the home side's ability to close out the game separated them.
