132 Victorious Years: Chytil with a Hattrick Against Karviná
The lineup saw two changes from the match against Eintracht, with ?t?p?n Chaloupek making his first start in Slavia's opening eleven for a league game. David Doud?ra replaced Simion Michez, and Tom?? Hole? took over as captain from the suspended Jan Bo?il.
Before kickoff, there was a tribute to war veterans and the symbolic handing over of the "Key to Prague" by Mayor Bohuslav Svoboda. The 132nd anniversary celebrations peaked with a full-stadium choreography by the North Tribune, setting a Czech record, as every fan donned a rain poncho and a fireworks display lit up the roof of the Fortuna Arena.
In the 12th minute, Luk?? Provod struck the right post with a long-range left-footed shot. Six minutes later, Hole? nearly scored from a Doud?ra pass, but Lape? made an excellent save. Tom?? Chor??s header was off target, but in the 20th minute, Oscar put Slavia ahead by scoring from an angle off a rebound from Provod's shot - 1:0.
A brilliant strike by Doud?ra was ruled out for offside, and Hole? missed the target. Karvin?'s goalkeeper fumbled Provod's shot but made a great save against Ond?ej Lingr's follow-up. In the 41st minute, Lape? also stopped Chor??s acrobatic shot, and Slavia went into halftime with a one-goal lead.
The second half opened with a chance for Lingr, who was blocked. Samko tested Kinsk?, but Slavia's goalkeeper had no trouble. Lape? saved Provod's shot after a solo run. Lingr?s backheel pass and Hole??s driven cross didn't result in a goal, and Chor? missed another great opportunity by hitting Karvin?'s goalkeeper.
Then came the punishment... Vecheta scored close-range past Kinsk? ? 1:1. Slavia?s coaching staff responded by substituting Lingr for Mojm?r Chytil, who made an immediate impact. In the 69th minute, he converted Provod's driven cross ? 2:1. Kinsk? made a quick save to deny Memi?, and Mat?j Jur?sek replaced Chor?, quickly providing an assist for Chytil?s second goal ? 3:1.
Oscar extended the lead by deflecting Doud?ra?s shot past Lape? ? 4:1. Mikul?? Kone?n? made his league debut alongside Dominik Pech and Filip Prebsl, replacing Ogbu, Doud?ra, and Zafeiris.
In the 85th minute, Chytil completed his hat-trick with another assist from Jur?sek ? 5:1.
Nothing more happened in the match, with Chytil's attempted chip landing wide of the goal. Slavia secured a 5-1 victory over Karvin?, with 19,299 spectators in attendance.
