Sabah 2–0 Slavia Praha: Champions League Result, Goals and Confirmed Lineups

Final result, updated October 14, 2026: Sabah FC defeated SK Slavia Praha 2–0 in their UEFA Champions League 2026/27 league-phase Matchday 2 meeting on Tuesday, October 13. The game at Baku Olympic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan, was scoreless at halftime. Kaheem Parris put Sabah ahead in the 49th minute, and Mickels sealed the result in the 88th. Slavia Praha's official completed-match report and match event log both confirm the final score and the scorers.

What was the final score of Sabah vs Slavia Praha?

Sabah 2, Slavia Praha 0 — full time. The official Slavia match listing records a 0–0 halftime score and a 2–0 finish. This is no longer a pre-match fixture preview or an unverified live score: Slavia's match page categorizes the game as completed and provides a postgame account. Sabah's goals came in the second half, after both clubs had opportunities before the break.

The European 18:45 listing refers to the Czech Republic's matchday clock, not the local clock at the stadium. On October 13, Prague observed daylight saving time (CEST, UTC+02:00), while Baku observed AZT (UTC+04:00). Therefore the same kickoff occurred at 18:45 in Prague and 20:45 in Baku. Both are 16:45 UTC. The UEFA league-phase fixture list remains a reference for the scheduled round; the club's completed-match page confirms what happened.

How did the two goals happen?

The first half ended level despite chances at both ends. Slavia's account says Parris had an earlier attempt disallowed for offside in the 17th minute. Toward halftime, Sabah defender Steve Solvet cleared a Tomáš Chorý finish from the goal line. Slavia also had an attack in which a shot struck the post, although the assistant referee signaled offside. None of those incidents changed the 0–0 halftime score.

Shortly after the restart, Parris scored the first goal that counted. Slavia's match report describes him finishing past goalkeeper Jakub Markovič early in the second half; its official goals list identifies the strike as the 49th-minute opener. Slavia then continued searching for an equalizer. According to its report, Lukáš Provod had multiple attempts, with goalkeeper Stas Pokatilov and a defender preventing a finish from close range.

In the 88th minute, Mickels added Sabah's second goal after Markovič came out from his goal. The report says the ball went toward an exposed net and David Moses could not clear it. That sequence made the score 2–0. Slavia's live log subsequently records saves late in stoppage time, but no additional goal. The team's recorded match status is full time, not merely an in-progress 2–0 score.

Who actually started for Sabah and Slavia?

The pre-match edition carried UEFA's projected starting elevens and described several players as doubtful. Those predictions have now been superseded by the teams that appeared in the official match report. The following names reproduce the starters listed by Slavia, rather than claiming an inferred tactical formation.

Sabah FC starting XI

Stas Pokatilov; Akim Zedadka, Steve Solvet, Aden McCarthy, Tymoteusz Puchacz; Umarali Rakhmonaliev, Ivan Lepinjica; Kaheem Parris, Queiroz, Veljko Simić; Mickels.

Slavia Praha starting XI

Jakub Markovič; Tomáš Holeš, Ange N'Guessan, David Zima; Tomáš Vlček, David Moses, Michal Sadílek, Danijel Šturm; Lukáš Provod, Tomáš Chorý, Emmanuel Ayaosi.

In particular, Solvet started for Sabah despite being described as doubtful in pre-match coverage. Slavia also started players who were not in the earlier projected XI, including N'Guessan, Moses, Provod, and Vlček. The distinction matters: a media prediction is not an official team sheet, and an earlier fitness concern does not establish whether someone ultimately played.

What substitutions and disciplinary events are verified?

Slavia's final report lists these substitutions: Suleiman replaced Holeš and Nowak replaced Sadílek in the 62nd minute; Isife and Chytil came on for Vlček and Chorý in the 72nd; and Kubiak replaced N'Guessan in the 75th. For Sabah, Dashdamirov replaced Solvet, Mbina replaced Parris, and Nwachukwu replaced Queiroz in the 73rd minute. Khaybulaev replaced Simić in the 86th. These are recorded match events, not proposed lineup changes.

The live event record shows yellow cards for Simić, Solvet, and Zedadka of Sabah and Ayaosi and Kubiak of Slavia. Referee Sebastian Gishamer, assisted by Riedel and Schreiner, is named in Slavia's match record. The club also lists an attendance of 38,000. These details are attributable to the club's published record; no broader judgment about officiating or disciplinary consequences follows from a list of cautions alone.

How does the result change the pre-match story?

Before kickoff, both clubs were looking to recover from defeats in their Champions League opening matches. Sabah had lost to Manchester United, while Slavia had fallen to Lens. Those earlier results were relevant background but not predictors: on October 13 Sabah took all three points and kept a clean sheet, while Slavia did not convert their chances. The outcome is a completed second league-phase result, not a knockout tie or a decision on either side's final qualification position.

Under the competition's league-phase format, clubs play eight matches against different opponents, and their cumulative points and ranking determine whether they advance directly, enter the playoffs, or are eliminated. After Matchday 2, six league-phase fixtures remain for each club. The 2–0 score is therefore an important result in the campaign, but it cannot by itself establish the final table or either team's eventual qualification.

Slavia coach Jindřich Trpišovský discussed the defeat in the club's postgame comments, expressing disappointment with his side's performance and errors. Those remarks represent the coach's assessment. The verified result and scoring times come from the completed match record, not from an interpretation of why the teams won or lost.

Where was the match shown, and where can fans check the replay or record?

Slavia's official matchday information identified Nova Sport 3 as a viewing option for its audience and pointed fans who could not access the channel to Radio Slavia through the Slavia app or CZ Radio app. That is evidence of an announced Czech viewing route for this game; it does not prove that an archived replay is now available, or that the same broadcaster served viewers worldwide. Broadcast rights and on-demand availability vary by country and service. Fans should check the provider's current listings for replay access instead of assuming a matchday television listing guarantees a recording.

For a dependable result and event-by-event account, consult Slavia's match report and official live-text archive. The UEFA match center is the competition source for related fixture details and statistics. The club's matchday announcement documents its broadcast and team-selection guidance.

What is confirmed, and what should not be assumed?

The match was played on October 13 at Baku Olympic Stadium and is officially recorded as a 2–0 home win with goals by Parris and Mickels. The starting lineups and principal substitutions are also published. Earlier uncertainty about whether the match had finished, who started, or whether Sabah could recover from the opening defeat should no longer be presented as unresolved.

The cited match documents do not establish worldwide replay availability or support inventing additional injuries, tactical instructions, or disputed refereeing findings. The image accompanying this article remains an illustrative stadium photograph, not documentary proof from the fixture. For further updates, use the official match records rather than treating the original pre-match prediction as evidence of what occurred.
