2009/2010 football season underway

The new football season has gotten underway: the first match-up took place on Friday between clubs Sparta Prague and Teplice. Some 15,000 fans turned up in Teplice for the start of the season. The game saw careful tactics and numerous opportunities but ended scoreless. For Sparta the opener was a chance to get back in action ahead of its match on Tuesday against Greek side Panathinaikos in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
