Review of the match Slavia - Dnipro-1:

In a much-anticipated UEFA Europa League match held at the Fortuna Arena, Slavia Prague showed their dominance over Dnipro-1 with a comfortable 3-0 victory. The hosts scored two goals early in the first half, setting the tone for the whole game. At the start of the match both teams fought for possession and control of the midfield. Five minutes after the start of the game I. Šrantz from Slavia Praha headed the ball into the goal of the Dnipro 1 goalkeeper, giving the home team the lead. This goal gave the Prague team confidence, allowing them to dictate the course of the game in the following minutes. Not wanting to concede, Dnipro 1 made the first substitution in the 11th minute, replacing M. Tretiakov with B. Lednev, trying to strengthen the attack. However, Slavia Praha's pressure was too strong for the opponents. In the 37th minute Schranz gave Slavia Praha a 2-0 lead with an accurate shot. As the first half progressed, the team started to have some sharp moments. In the 41st minute Dnipro-1 received a yellow card for a rash action of O. Svatok. Deciding to change the course of the game, the Ukrainian team made a quick substitution, replacing Svatok with J. Pasic at the beginning of the second half. Slavia Prague started the second half actively, trying to increase their advantage. However, on 51 minutes the goal was cancelled due to offside by V. Jurecki. Despite this setback, the team continued to attack, putting pressure on Dnipro-1's defence.

The tension reached its peak in the 58th minute, when Slavia Praha player I. Ogbu received a red card, leaving the hosts ten men. Having gained a numerical advantage, Dnipro-1 hoped to get back on track. In an attempt to win back, they made a third substitution, replacing R. Babenko with O. Pihalenok. However, Slavia Praha continued to defend confidently, frustrating the opponent at every step. As the frustration grew, Dnipro 1 started to accumulate yellow cards. B. Lednev and V. Rubchinsky received yellow cards in the 72nd and 74th minutes respectively. On the 79th minute Slavia Prague made a flurry of substitutions, bringing on M. van Buren, V. Jurecka, K. Vallem and O. Lingra. The substitutions bore fruit: in the 81st minute K. Vallem scored a goal for Slavia Prague, effectively sealing the victory for his team. In the last minutes of the game conflicts broke out again, as a result of which V. Kravets, a player of Dnipro-1, received a yellow card on the 87th minute. In the 90th minute Slavia Praha player L. Masopust received a yellow card. The match ended with a convincing 3-0 victory of Slavia Praha over Dnipro-1.
