Slavia Prague punished for pitch invasionClose2323

Slavia Prague had to forfeit their game against rivals Sparta Prague after a mass pitch invasion stopped the match.

Slavia were leading 3-2 in stoppage time and were closing in on clinching the Czech league title on Saturday when hundreds of home fans stormed the pitch at the Fortuna Arena.

They were also fined 10m Czech crowns (£357,000) and ordered to play four games behind closed doors.

Sparta were awarded a 3-0 win, but were also fined 600,000 Czech crowns (£21,400) after their fans set off flares and damaged the stadium.
