In the 12th round, Viktoria Plzeň traveled to Vršovice´s Ďolíček Stadium, where they faced local team Bohemka. The only goal of the match was scored by striker Rafiu Durosinmi.

Viktoria Plzeň played their first match under new head coach Martin Hyský. Viktoria faced their first test at Ďolíček against home team Bohemka. Plzeň started actively and Cheick Souaré had a promising chance in the 4th minute, but his shot did not find the net. Rafiu Durosinmi was successful, however, initially failing to reach a cross but then getting it back from Amar Memić and promptly sending the ball into the goal.

Plzeň did not let the opening goal lull them into complacency and continued to push forward. Amar Memić could have added a second goal when Matěj Vydra found him in the penalty area, but his shot was blocked by Matěj Hybš. In the 33rd minute, Viktoria was unlucky when Václav Jemelka's shot hit both posts of Reichl's goal, but the ball did not cross the goal line.

The home team, Bohemka, managed to create several dangerous situations, especially on the left side of the field, from where crosses were often directed at Yusuf. After one of them, goalkeeper Martin Jedlička made an excellent save when he deflected the striker's header. The first half ended with Plzeň leading 1-0.

The second half was initially full of personal battles, and the referee had to interrupt the game frequently due to fouls. In the 72nd minute, he sent home team player Eric Ramirez off early after a hard foul on Sampson Dweh. Viktoria tried to add an insurance goal in the final minutes. Amar Memić and Matěj Vydra launched a quick counterattack, Memić passed the ball to the captain, but he kicked it too far ahead and goalkeeper Reichl was there in time.

Bohemka did not give up, and Václav Drchal had another dangerous shot, but Martin Jedlička made a great save. Viktoria held on to their lead until the final whistle and took home their first victory under new coach Martin Hyský from Ďolíček.
