Slavia's Hocine Ragued received a second yellow card before Spain striker David Villa hit the woodwork was then sent off for violent conduct in the 85th minute.

Spurs were pinned back and Strihavka hit the woodwork, while Ivana saw a curling 22-yard free-kick palmed away by Robinson as Slavia scented a goal and some fear from the home side.
