Sparta Prague go top of Gambrinus League after narrow win over Slavia

In football, Sparta Prague beat Slavia Prague 1:0 in an eagerly awaited derby on Monday, putting Sparta top of the Gambrinus League. The goal was scored by Pavel Horvath in the 62nd minute. The north Bohemian side Liberec are second after they beat Kladno one-nil away at the weekend, leaving Slavia Prague in third place on goal difference following Monday's match. A sell-out crowd of more than 20,000 people watched the game at Sparta's Letna stadium, the biggest turnout for a derby since the Czech league was established in 1993.
