Slavia Prague was forced to forfeit their match against city rivals Sparta Prague following a disruptive pitch invasion that brought the game to a premature halt.

The incident occurred on Saturday at the Fortuna Arena, with Slavia leading 3-2 in added time and on the verge of securing the Czech league title, when hundreds of home supporters encroached onto the field.

In response, Slavia Prague has been fined 10 million Czech crowns (£357,000) and ordered to play their next four home games behind closed doors.

While Sparta Prague was awarded a 3-0 victory due to the abandonment, they also received a fine of 600,000 Czech crowns (£21,400) after their fans ignited flares and caused damage to the stadium.
