FC Rapid București 1:2 FC Slovan Liberec — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Fallou Faye scored once and dominated midfield as FC Slovan Liberec beat FC Rapid București 2-1 in a Club Friendly, though no next fixture is set. The result was a quiet upset given the pre-match billing, with Liberec taking control early and never truly letting go.

The turning point arrived inside eight minutes when Lukas Masek fired Liberec ahead, and Faye doubled the lead before half-time with a cool finish in the 37th minute. Rapid pulled one back through Alexandr Buzek on 56 minutes, but two yellow cards inside a minute — on 74 and 75 — punctured their momentum, and Liberec saw out the win without serious alarm.

Liberec edged possession 52% to 48% and won three corners to Rapid's one, controlling the territory even if the margin was slender. Faye was the standout: a 9.76 rating, one goal, and a commanding presence from midfield. CheckLive's model marginally favoured Rapid, but the result proved the prediction wrong, with Liberec sharper on the day. No next fixture is scheduled.
