The hosts rushed in the match actively and moments after the kick-off Záviška run along the right wing side towards Hruška, luckily for Viktoria he hit only a side net. On the other side in the 11th minute Krmenčík could open the score but his left-foot shot flew above the top bar.

Afterwards Bohemians had two great opportunities of Záviška and Yusuf. Both of them were stopped by excellent job of the goalkeeper Hruška. A few minutes later Yusuf was given another chance after Procházka's foul when he took a penalty shot. This time he scored and Bohemians were in lead 2-0.

Viktorians responded 10 minutes later. Krmenčík's brisk shot was rebounded off by the goalkeeper Valeš only to returning Schumacher. He unluckily kicked the ball behind his own goal line. At the end of the first half Záviška run to counter-attack but his effort was stopped by Hruška again.

After a break Aleš Hruška performed a great save against Reiter. On the other side Lukáš Hejda was very close to equalizing the score but he only hit an upright. Bohemians increased their goals moments later when Záviška added their second goal. Two minutes later the score was equal again.

Roman Procházka waited for a bounced ball after a corner and he volleyed it behind the goalkeeper Valeš. With the end of the match approaching Viktorians tried hard to add one more goal and seize all three points, Tomáš Chorý and Jakub Řezníček went on pitch as well but neither of them scored the third goal. Pavel Vrba's team drew the first match in the current season.

Aleš Hruška's Commentary

 "We've got one point but came her for three. Time will show if this one point was good or if we lost two here," Aleš Hruška thinks. "I'm sort of torn of this. I'm not sure if to take this match positively of negatively. In several previous away matches we didn't score any goals, today we scored two but conceded two as well. My feelings are mixed," the goalkeeper adds.
