Slavia Prague and Athletic Club played out a goalless draw in a passionate but lacklending Champions League match. Despite both teams' intent, the game lacked quality in front of goal, with chances for Tomas Chory and Oihan Sancet being thwarted.
The draw means Slavia Prague has lost just once at Fortuna Arena this term, a promising sign for the Cervenobili. The result keeps both teams' hopes of progressing alive, with the tie remaining wide open ahead of the next match.
Sancet had a great opportunity to score, but his curling effort sailed over the bar. Lukas Provod's clever chest-down and shot went just wide of Unai Simon's post, adding to the tension at Fortuna Arena.
