Slavia Prague missed out on winning the Czech championship early due to the misbehavior of its own fans.
In the derby against Sparta, supporters of the home team stormed the pitch in stoppage time and threw pyrotechnics in the direction of the visiting fans’ block. Apparently, players from the opposing team were also attacked.
The match was abandoned with the score at 3:2 in favor of Slavia. Prior to this, the home team had twice come from behind and been sent off in the 59th and 92nd minute before the stampede began. The championship celebrations came to nothing and Slavia now face the threat of a forfeit defeat.
