After 42 minutes Mick van Buren stood face-to-face with Zlín goalkeeper Dostál but sent the ball only to his legs. In the added time Dostál managed to block Lingr’s header after a corner and after another one Mick van Buren’s header was blocked by Dostál again and hit the left post.

In the 52nd minute Václav Jurečka could add second when Zlín goalkeeper blocked Lingr’s effort and the ball rebounded in front of the goal, but Dostál managed to block Jurečka’s rebound too with a superb flying save.

The Red-Whites doubled their lead after an hour of the play. Provod sent a low cross from the left wing, Mick ban Buren got to the ball on the front post and sent it past Dostál. 2-0.

Slavia created many other chances but could not get past the away goalkeeper.
