The last match before the national team break was played between Viktoria Plzeň and Baník Ostrava. In spite of the expactations Baník´s fans were allowed in the stadium.

Since the 5th minute the captain Roman Hubník played with a yellow card for his foul on Tomáš Hájek. The first chance of the match was seen on 16 minutes. Čermák´s attempt after cooperation with Krmenčík was stopped by the visitors´ defence. On the other side Kozáčik performed well against Hrubý´s shot. There were more chances in front of the guests´ gate and the goalkeeper Vašek was very busy. On 22 minutes the unhappy match for Hubník continued because he was injured and stayed lying on the lawn. He was soon substituted for Lukáš Hejda. The game did not change much, Viktoria combined on Ostrava´s half and their opponent focused more on long balls to Baroš. On 30 minutes of the game Čermák shot off the goal and 7 minutes later he had an effort on goal again when passing the ball to Krmenčík but they were stopped by the defender Šindelář. Radim Řezník shot on goal once before the break, nevertheless, the result was goalless.
