Slavia lose to Midtjylland in Champions League playoff after penalty ruling

Slavia Prague have failed to reach football’s Champions League after a 4:1 away defeat to the Danish side Midtjylland on Wednesday evening. The previous game in the tie had seen a 0:0 draw in Prague.

The Czech side took the lead early before the Danes equalised on 65 minutes. Midtjylland then went ahead with six minutes remaining after a controversial decision to let them take the same penalty twice and went on to find the net twice more before the final whistle.
