Slavia did not cause any surprises in the 16th round of the Chance League when they won 4:0 on the České Budějovice pitch. The goal of Christos Zafeiris (21) was worth talking about, as the young Greek scored his third goal from beyond the goal in the league this season. Thanks to him, the people of Prague maintained an eight-point lead over second-placed Plzeň. At the same time, thanks to the first league goal of Dominik Pecha (18), they got into a positive mood for Thursday’s match in the Europa League, where they will challenge coach José Mourinho’s Fenerbahce.
Already in the 15th minute, Slavia kicked a penalty on the hand of Zdeňko Ondrášek, the gunner Tomáš Chorý had no problem with placing the ball against the post. In the 35th minute of a peaceful duel, the representative striker received a successful penetration into the goal from Oscar Dorley, but he could not tame the ball as expected.
Immediately, the lead of the Praguers was increased by their second midfielder, Zafeiris hitting a great shot from behind the goal, when he placed the rebounded ball towards the right post with a sharp instep.
Even 10 minutes after the change of sides, the home side paid for the game with their hands in the goal. This time Mojmír Chytil was the executioner punishing this offense, who calmly sent the ball into the center of the goal. Around the hour of the game, Slavist youth entered the pitch. The Filip Prebsl – Štěpán Chaloupek duo, which contributed to the advancement of the under-21 national team to the Euro, was completed by 18-year-old Dominik Pech. The closest to another goal was their peer Matěj Jurásek, who replaced the injured Choré at halftime.

In the 73rd minute, after a beautiful combination in the middle of the field, he used his technical talent to create a shooting position from the edge of the penalty area, but Martin Janáček successfully reached out for the subsequent shelling. In the end, the young winger should have punished the home team’s mistake in the play-off, but after going around the goalkeeper, he did not hit the bouncing ball perfectly and instead of the open goal, he sent a greeting into the stands.
The Slavists finally replicated the result from the first meeting when Pech made it 4-0 with a shot between the legs of the goalkeeper from a slight angle for his first goal in the league.
