But the duel with Dinamo started passively, Staněk had to make a difficult save on the edge of the match against defender Stefan Ristovski’s wound. The guests were still under pressure, Viktoria could not get up to speed. However, he gradually faded.
In the 24th minute, Doosan Arena was celebrating a goal, but the referee did not recognize it due to Tomáš Choré’s foul on the goalkeeper. Eleven minutes later, the Pilsen stadium could fully enjoy the goal.
Josip Mišič stopped Jana Kopic’s header, who won the fight at a corner kick, and Viktoria got the advantage of the penalty kick. The one with an overview, just like 14 days ago in Zagreb, transformed Chorý. Immediately, the home team could jump back to two goals. During the big jam, three Victorians shot in quick succession from the edge of the small goal, but the Zagreb defenders blocked all the shots.

Pilsen’s Traore (right) in a fight for the ball
Shortly before the break, Chorý was able to score for the second time, to whom Erik Jirka prepared the ball like a tray. The fresh representative was alone in front of the visiting goalkeeper, but he practically just licked the ball.
The second half started the same as the first. And under the pressure of the Croats. In the 57th minute, Dario Špikič received a pass in the penalty area, his attempt narrowly missed the right post. Stanek only had to look behind the balloon.
In the 68th, however, the home goalkeeper failed to keep Ristovski’s shot, and the arbiter immediately ordered a penalty for Cadu’s supposed hand. However, he overturned his original verdict after a while due to the intervention of VAR. He also canceled a goal for the guests due to offside in the set-up.
