Well, folks, what a first-half battle at Sportovní centrum Radotín! Opava, despite a few early jitters, came roaring back to secure a 1-0 lead over Slavia Praha II in the first half.
The match was a real chess match, with both teams carefully probing for weaknesses in the opposition's defense. Opava's early pressure was rewarded with a goal by M. Helesic in the 12th minute. That was a real game-changer.
Slavia Praha II didn't go down without a fight. They pushed forward, and a couple of yellow cards were handed out, one to each side. A yellow card for A. Sochor and E. Pitak showcased the intense, hard-fought nature of the play. M. Helesic and Papalele also received a cautionary yellow card.
The first 41 minutes were intense! We saw some fantastic plays, but eventually, Opava managed to hold on for the 1-0 lead at the break. The second half will be crucial! Stay tuned.
