Viktoria drew with Slovácko in the sixth round of the league. Tomáš Ladra opened the scoring in the second half, but Ndubuisi equalised for the visitors late on to make it 1–1.

The home side got Sunday’s sixth-round league match underway. As early as the 2nd minute, Ladra sent Sojka through on goal, but the pass was too heavy and Heča comfortably gathered the ball. Unfortunately, Viktoria were forced into a substitution in the 13th minute. After a heavy challenge, Karel Spáčil had to be taken off the pitch on a medical cart and was replaced by Filip Prebsl. Wiegele was called into action in the 20th minute, saving an effort from outside the penalty area. Chances came at both ends, but they were not dangerous enough to seriously trouble either goalkeeper. That changed in the 29th minute when Dweh met a corner with a header and forced Heča into a save. In the 43rd minute, Ladra attempted to send Kabongo through, but his pass was once again slightly too heavy. Viktoria threatened with two more shots towards the end of the half. The first was blocked by a defender, while the second went wide. Adam Gabriel then delivered a dangerous cross into the box in stoppage time, but none of his teammates managed to connect with it. The first half therefore ended goalless.

Hrošovský tried his luck from the edge of the penalty area early in the second half, narrowly missing Heča’s goal. In the 51st minute, Ladra and Červ exchanged passes before the latter fired into the side netting. Adu tested Heča a minute later, but the visiting goalkeeper was ready. Doski then got a shot away in the 59th minute, but his effort went wide. Adu subsequently won a free kick, which Tomáš Ladra curled into the net to give Viktoria the lead. At the other end, Wiegele had to deal with a difficult bouncing ball. In the 73rd minute, Souaré received a pass near the edge of the six-yard box but fired over with a powerful effort. Adu did the same shortly afterwards. The visitors equalised through Ndubuisi in the 82nd minute. Four minutes later, Kostadinov was shown a red card, leaving Slovácko to finish the match with ten men. Heča produced an excellent save in the 88th minute to deny Červ’s effort towards the far post. There were no further goals as Viktoria drew with Slovácko.
