SK Slavia Prague fell 1-2 to Arsenal in the Champions League, as Arsenal scored twice before half-time and the home side's only reply came in the 90th minute. The scorer of that late goal was not listed in match data.

Match Summary

The contest opened on Arsenal's terms. Noni Madueke put the visitors ahead after nine minutes, giving them an early platform. SK Slavia Prague's David Moses was booked in the 20th minute. The home side still had time to respond before the break, yet Viktor Gyokeres scored in the 38th minute and Arsenal took a two-goal lead into half-time.

After the restart there was no third Arsenal goal. Ezri Konsa received a yellow card in the 53rd minute, and Declan Rice was cautioned in the 68th as the visitors managed the lead. SK Slavia Prague stayed in the hunt and scored in the 90th minute. The scorer was not listed in match data. That strike made the official score 1-2, with Arsenal still in front when the match ended.

Key Moments

Arsenal's first-half scoring burst did the real damage. By the interval the home side needed two goals just to get back on terms, and that task shaped everything that followed.

The second-half bookings were a test of control rather than a turning point. Ezri Konsa and Declan Rice both saw yellow, yet Arsenal were never reduced, and SK Slavia Prague never received the extra space a dismissal would have created.

The late home goal mattered as persistence, not as a change in the result. It arrived in the 90th minute, too late to launch another equalizing chance, and it left the visitors' first-half work intact.
