Slavia Prague fans storm pitch during derby against Sparta, match abandoned

During a Czech league derby between Slavia Prague and Sparta Prague on Saturday, hundreds of Slavia fans invaded the pitch in stoppage time while their team led 3-2, attacking visiting players including goalkeeper Jakub Surovčík with flares and other projectiles. The match was abandoned by the referee. The Czech Football League Association opened disciplinary proceedings against both clubs on Sunday, with potential sanctions including forfeiture, fan bans, and fines.
