Slavia players defeated their Vršovice rivals Bohemians 2-0 in the 24th round of the Chance Liga at Fortuna Arena, maintaining their perfect record in the spring season. Malick Diouf capitalized on a long numerical advantage following Čermák´s dismissal, scoring in the 49th minute. Giannis-Fivos Botos sealed the victory with his first goal for Slavia in stoppage time. The match was attended by 18,798 spectators.

The first shot on target came from a header by Chory, but Reichl handled it well. In the 16th minute, the Bohemians goalkeeper quickly got down to secure the ball ahead of Chytil, and Lingr fired over after a turn.

In the 29th minute, VAR intervened, leading to Cermaks red card, giving Slavia a lengthy numerical advantage. It was almost immediately utilized when Malick Diouf scored with a cross-shot, but referee Szikszay disallowed the goal due to an offside position.

That changed in the 49th minute when Malick Diouf found the net, assisted by Doudera. This time, VAR confirmed the goal - 1:0. It was the Senegalese internationals seventh goal in this seasons Chance Liga. After an hour, Kusej replaced Lingr, and ten minutes later, Chytil and Pech made way for Moses and Botos.

In the 78th minute, Stanek dealt with a dangerous effort from Hulka, while Chaloupek was substituted by Konecny. Botos had a golden opportunity to secure the win but shot over from a perfect position, and Chory also failed to convert.

The referees added eight minutes of stoppage time, during which Giannis-Fivos Botos scored his first competitive goal for Slavia after a pass from Chory, making it 2-0. Jindrich Trpisovskys team claimed victory in the Vrsovice derby and will next face Sparta at Letna on Saturday.
