Mlada Boleslav vs Slovácko
Mlada Boleslav edge past Slovácko in tight tussle
Two first-half goals set the tone before a late reply from Slovácko.
Mlada Boleslav secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Slovácko in the Czech Liga, thanks to goals from S. John and L. Letenay in the first half and early second half. Despite Gigli Ndefe's late strike for Slovácko, it wasn't enough to salvage a point. Fipster's prediction of a home win was spot on, though the expected scoreline was a bit more generous than the actual tight contest.
