Slovan led twice in the match thanks to Mohamed Doumbia and Lubomír Tupta, but Votroc managed to equalize each time and Matej Trusa decided the match with his second goal in the 81st minute. Filip Kubala scored once for the guests. East Bohemians defeated Liberec in the league after 13 duels.
After the home debacle, Královéhradec changed their line-up and replaced the three stoppers with four defenders today. The intruders started actively, but Vašulín’s header was brought to the corner by the defender Purzitidis. On the opposite side, after Prebsl’s header, Gabriel almost knocked the ball into his own net, but goalkeeper Vízek managed to save.

On the opposite side, the guests got the ball over the line, but the referee had already blown the whistle for an attacking foul. After that, Bačkovský knocked out Kučer’s shot. The East Bohemians managed to equalize only seven minutes after the break. The center from the left fell from Koubek to Trus and he fired the ball under the crossbar from the small area. The Slovak offensive all-rounder scored his first goal in the Czech league.
Liberec took the lead back in just five minutes. He ended the exemplary break after passing substitute Ghali into the open goal of Tupta. The North Bohemians then had several more chances, Lexa even brushed his attempt against the crossbar. However, Slovan did not provide insurance and was penalized in the 78th minute. After Ryneš’s cross, Kubala made his mark with a header and with his seventh hit in the league, he equaled the team’s best scorer Vašulín.
