Lukáš Masopust sent the ball from the right wing into the penalty area to Peter Olayinka. He was able to head it past Nguyen and score the second goal of the game!

The second half did not bring as many chances as the first half and the game was slower as well.

Liberec had two opportunities to score between the 45th and 65th minute but Ondřej Kolář saved both shots.

In the last fifteen minutes of the match, Slavia’s game became more active and a third goal came.
