The win was a huge boost for Sparta, who have been in the shadow of their rivals for much of the past decade. It was also a huge blow for Slavia, who had been hoping to win their first league title since 2008.
The victory was celebrated by Sparta fans, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time. The team’s manager, Vítězslav Lavička, said after the match that it was a “great feeling” to win the derby and that the team was now focused on winning the league title.
Sparta have two more games to play before the end of the season and if they win both, they will be crowned champions. It would be a huge achievement for the club and a great way to end the season.
