Pardubice vs FK Jablonec
Jablonec sneak a tidy win at Pardubice
An own goal and a late first-half strike secure a 2-0 victory away from home.
FK Jablonec claimed a 2-0 victory over Pardubice in the Czech Liga, with M. Icha's own goal just before the 20th minute setting the tone. J. Chramosta doubled the lead in stoppage time of the first half, sealing the win. This result defied Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a Pardubice home win, turning the expected outcome on its head.
