Hradec Králové vs Pardubice
Hradec Králové edge Pardubice in tight tussle
Van Buren and Čech strike to secure a narrow home win.
Hradec Králové claimed a 2-1 victory over Pardubice in the Czech Liga, with M. van Buren opening the scoring just before half-time and F. Čech doubling the lead shortly after the break. Pardubice's T. Boledovic pulled one back, but it wasn't enough to prevent the home side from taking all three points. This result defied Fipster's confident prediction of a 1-1 draw, adding a touch of unpredictability to the fixture.
