Desperate referee Pechanec made a mess of the clash. Slavia eventually decided by penalty
Slavia Prague won 1-0 against Liberec in the first league match, with a decisive penalty from Chorý after a controversial performance by referee Pechanec.
In a tightly contested match in the 23rd round of the Czech first league, Slavia Prague emerged victorious against Liberec with a score of 1-0. The match was heavily scrutinized due to the poor decisions made by referee Pechanec, who failed to award a clear penalty for Slavia in the 12th minute after a foul by Mašek on Chorý. Additionally, Pechanec wrongly validated a goal by Mubarak due to an unnoticed handball by Liberec's captain Bořil, which was later corrected by VAR intervention. This not only highlighted the referee's failures but also raised questions about his competency in managing high-stakes matches.
