​Slavia suffered a late collapse in their final away match of the season, falling 2–3 to Jablonec despite a brace from Vasil Kusej. The Red-Whites led by two goals with just ten minutes to go, but the hosts struck three times late to snatch the win. The match also marked a special moment – club legend Milan Skoda made his first appearance for the A-team in over five years.

Slavia travelled to North Bohemia without several regulars. Timothy Ouma made his senior debut, Jakub Markovic started in goal, and captain Tomas Vlcek led the team.

Jindrich Trpisovsky?s side started brightly. In the 12th minute, Mojmir Chytil was denied by Hanu?, but Slavia made their pressure count soon after. Following a corner, David Zima deflected the ball to the far post, where Vasil Kusej tucked it in ? 0:1. The VAR confirmed his eighth goal for Slavia.

Around the half-hour mark, Botos couldn?t beat the Jablonec keeper, and Markovic made two solid stops to deny Jawo, including a strong header.

Early in the second half, Kusej doubled his tally with a clever finish to the far post after stealing the ball in midfield ? 0:2. Markovic then produced two superb saves to preserve the lead, first closing down Alegue and then tipping Jawo?s rocket over the bar.

Chaloupek fired over the bar before Slavia made three changes: Botos, Ouma, and Michez were replaced by Daniel Toula (making his debut), Dominik Pech, and Ondrej Zmrzly.

In the 71st minute, Milan Skoda returned to the pitch for the first time since December 15, 2019, replacing Chytil. Skoda, who has scored 104 goals for Slavia and won three league titles, received a warm welcome.

In the 78th minute, Skoda nearly crowned his comeback with a goal, but Hanu? pulled off a brilliant save. That moment proved costly ? just three minutes later, Chramosta unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner ? 1:2. Two minutes later, Puskac equalized ? 2:2. By then, Divine Teah had replaced Moses.

Kusej?s attempt at a hat-trick was thwarted by a sliding tackle from Cedidla, and in the 88th minute, Puskac scored again on the rebound ? 3:2. Slavia had a chance to respond immediately, but Zima couldn?t find the net.

Slavia lose in Jablonec 2?3 and will now look to close out their golden season on May 24 at home against Banik Ostrava in the final round.
