Points shared in Zlín

Compared to the victorious match against Jablonec, the starting eleven for the rescheduled 17th round of the top league saw three changes. David Zima, returning to the stitchers, replaced Tomáš Holeš at center-back, while Jan Bořil, the team captain, and Slovak international Michal Tomič played on the defensive flanks. Also present in the starting lineup were the two-goal scorers from the match against the North Bohemians, Conrad Wallem and Václav Jurečka.

The duel at Zlín's Letná stadium began with an attack down the right side by Lukáš Provod. The versatile forward slipped into the home team's penalty area, but Jan Bořil was just inches away from connecting with his cross. In the 7th minute, Mojmír Chytil set up Petr Ševčík, but goalkeeper Dostál safely covered the volley attempt.

In the twenty-eighth minute, Petr Ševčík found Jan Bořil with a lofted cross. The captain laid it off to David Zima, whose shot was blocked by the prepared home goalkeeper. After half an hour of play, an active Zima crossed towards the back post, where Tomič returned it to the goalmouth, but Jurečka couldn't find the empty net despite the South Moravians' prepared defense.

In injury time, after a foul on Václav Jurečka, Slavia had a direct free kick. Mojmír Chytil rose highest to Petr Ševčík's precise delivery and headed it to the left post, putting Slavia ahead 0-1!

In the second half, Slavia's coaching staff made one change, replacing Conrad Wallem with Ivan Schranz.

Ten minutes after the referee's whistle, Slavia had a corner kick, but Oscar's shot from the edge of the box hit the post, keeping the score unchanged.

In the 67th minute, Zlín had a free kick near the corner flag, and Ikugar rose to head in Čelůstka's cross from the edge of the penalty area, leveling the score at 1-1.

Two minutes later, Jindřich Trpišovský made his second substitution. Mojmír Chytil, the scorer of the first goal, was replaced by Mick van Buren. The Dutch forward thus marked his 150th appearance in the stitched jersey.

Thirteen minutes before the end of regular time, Slavia's coaching staff made their third and fourth changes, substituting Michal Tomič and Lukáš Provod for Boluwatife Ogungbayi and Lukáš Masopust, respectively. Masopust, in particular, stretched the defense with a shot from outside the box after two minutes on the field, but the South Moravian defense was prepared.

Eight minutes before the end, Václav Jurečka received a red card, leaving Slavia to finish the match with ten men.

In injury time, Aleš Mandous made a timely save against the onrushing Schánělec. From the ensuing corner kick, Zlín's Vukadinović found the net behind Mandous, but the goal was disallowed for offside.

The match offered no further goals, and Slavia drew 1-1 with Zlín. The next match for Jindřich Trpišovský's team is on Sunday, February 18th, when they face Karviná at home as part of the 21st round of the FORTUNA:LIGA.
