Slavia Liberec Women put on a masterclass in front of their own supporters, beating Viktoria Plzen 5:1 in the First League's regular season round six. The hosts never looked back after going ahead inside the first ten minutes, and they kept pushing until the final whistle. And here's the thing — this wasn't a game that needed much explanation once it started.
D. Skalova opened the scoring in the seventh minute, a simple finish that set the tone for everything that followed. L. Rumancikova doubled the lead fourteen minutes in before A. Dedinova made it three before half-time. M. Ferencova added a fourth in the forty-second minute, and by then Viktoria had already conceded four goals without reply.
Both sides made six changes at the break, but Slavia's substitutions only added to their dominance. S. Kynclova pulled one back for the visitors in the seventy-ninth minute, a goal that felt more like a consolation than a comeback. K. Kosikova sealed the result in the ninetieth minute, and Viktoria had no answer to the pressure.
V. Marsikova picked up a yellow card in the fifty-sixth minute, then N. Krejcirova joined her in the book six minutes later. The visitors tried to throw bodies in the way but never really got going against a side that played with confidence from the first whistle.
Slavia sit fourth with nine points from five games, while Viktoria remain fifth on the same tally after six matches. The hosts had lost 4:0 to Slavia Prague just last week, but they answered that result in the most emphatic fashion possible. Viktoria, meanwhile, have now lost three of their six league games and the gap at the top is beginning to feel real.
