Disappointing start
Last season's runners-up, AC Sparta Praha had made a positive start to the new campaign with a 3-0 win against FK Teplice in the opening game of the season on Wednesday, but reigning champions Slovan were disappointed at the Andruv stadium.
Milan challenge
While the visitors pressed frequently, the home side defended stubbornly throughout the game and forced Slovan to settle for a single point on the same day that the champions discovered that they would play Milan AC in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League.
