Match report
Slavia Prague beat Plzen 2-1 in the Czech League at Fortuna Arena on Sunday evening. The hosts moved clear at the top of the table after a match decided by two first-half goals and a late penalty. It was a result that extended their unbeaten run to nine games across all competitions.
A. Memic opened the scoring in the sixty-fourth minute, finishing off a move that had been building since S. Isife came on in the sixty-third. S. Chaloupek doubled the advantage four minutes later, though the game had already been living on borrowed time by then. Plzen responded with a penalty in stoppage time, T. Chory converting in the ninety-first minute after a VAR review had cancelled S. Lawal's offside effort in the eighty-fourth.
The statistics tell a familiar story: Slavia dominated possession at 64 per cent but made little of it, registering just five shots on target from twelve attempts. Plzen were more clinical with their chances, creating four big opportunities compared to one, and their shot accuracy of 33 per cent stood in contrast to the hosts' 24 per cent. They won more aerial duels, 25 to 12, and made 14 tackles to Slavia's seven, but it wasn't enough to salvage a point.
Slavia remain top of the Czech League with 20 points from eight games, having lost none so far this season. Plzen sit tenth with 10 points, their form dipping after a 3-0 defeat to Union Saint-Gillois on Wednesday. The gap between them now stretches to ten points, and for a side that cannot afford another slip, the situation is becoming urgent.
