First time at the top! Chytil and Douděra shine against Servette
Slavia began the game splendidly. In the 4th minute, Mojmír Chytil's header narrowly missed the left post after a cross from Conrad Wallem. A minute later, Bedia took a shot after a run through the center, but Aleš Mandous wasn't troubled.
Early in the second ten-minute period, the Swiss team had a direct free-kick opportunity from the edge of the box, but Stevanović's shot flew over the crossbar. Five minutes later, Václav Jurečka sent in a cross from the left, finding David Douděra, whose header found the net behind the Swiss goalkeeper – 1-0! The Czech wing-back thus secured his second goal in this season's Europa League.
In the 25th minute, Mojmír Chytil slipped into the opponent's box, and after a deflection, Conrad Wallem fired a shot. The Servette goalkeeper pushed the attempt away, but Ivan Schranz was alert and comfortably increased the lead for Slavia – 2-0! The Slovakian international thus scored his ninth goal in European competitions.
Towards the end of the first half-hour, Slavia had a corner. Mojmír Chytil leaped highest to head the ball from David Douděra's delivery, directing it precisely to the left post beyond Frick's reach – 3-0! In the 35th minute, Slavia made their first substitution due to health reasons; Oscar was replaced by Jakub Hromada.
In added time, Mojmír Chytil took control of the ball in the center of the field, faced with the Servette goalkeeper, and with a slight deflection off a defending player, increased the lead for Slavia – 4-0!
The first half offered no further goals, and Slavia entered the break with a three-goal lead.
In the 60th minute, Mojmír Chytil aimed for a hat-trick but sent his header over the crossbar. Substitute Muhamed Tijani couldn't add a fifth goal, managing only to hit the opponent's defender. Moments later, he was denied by the Servette goalkeeper.
In the 81st minute, seventeen-year-old Samuel Pikolon made his first start for Slavia's senior team.
The rest of the match didn't see any additional goals, and after the 4-0 victory, Slavia secured direct progression from the top spot in Group G to the Round of 16 in the Europa League! Their last match of the year awaits Jindřich Trpišovský's squad on Sunday, December 17th, in Vítkovice, where they will face Baník Ostrava.
