Slavia Praha recovered from 2-0 down to take a point in Istanbul, giving fresh context to their 4 November meeting with Arsenal. The official UEFA round-up says Lukáš Provod pulled one back before the break and 20-year-old substitute Pavel Kačor made it 2-2 with an acrobatic 90th-minute equaliser against Fenerbahçe.
The comeback is evidence; the start is a warning
Slavia’s first Champions League point is both proof and caution. They did not unravel after conceding twice early, but Arsenal will punish another forced chase. From BSR’s perspective, the useful detail is not only the dramatic finish: Slavia increased the pressure and changed the game through a substitute.
