Slavia Prague Fight Back to Draw 2-2 With Fenerbahce

Slavia Prague produced a dramatic comeback to earn a 2-2 draw against Fenerbahce in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, recovering from two goals down to claim their first point of the league phase. Substitute Pavel Kačor struck in the 90th minute to deny the Turkish side victory in Istanbul.

Fenerbahce made a flying start, with Oğuz Aydın opening the scoring in the fourth minute before Mason Greenwood doubled the hosts’ advantage seven minutes later. Slavia responded quickly, however, as captain Lukáš Provod capitalised on a defensive mistake to reduce the deficit in the 15th minute.

Slavia grew into the contest after the break and continued to push forward in search of an equaliser. Their persistence paid off in the final minute, when Kačor finished from close range after a cross from the right. The 20-year-old had only recently come off the bench and scored his first goal for Slavia’s senior team.

The result gives Slavia their first point after opening the league phase with defeats against Lens and Sabah. Fenerbahce, meanwhile, missed the opportunity to secure their first win in the competition. The Czech side will next host Arsenal on November 4th, while the team from Istanbul will look to recover in their next European fixture.
