Sparta Praha B 0–2 Vysocina Jihlava | Chance Národní Liga | 16 May 2026

Match Overview

Vysocina Jihlava secured a crucial away victory at the Sparta Praha B training ground on Saturday evening, winning 2–0 in a Chance Národní Liga fixture that kept their promotion hopes firmly alive. The visitors controlled the tempo from the opening whistle and were clinical in front of goal, while the home side’s youthful lineup struggled to break down a disciplined Jihlava defence.

First-Half Dominance

Jihlava took the lead in the 23rd minute through a well-worked set piece. A corner from the left found the head of central defender Marek Bílek, who powered his effort past Sparta B goalkeeper Tomáš Kovář. The goal settled any early nerves for the away side, who then dominated possession for the remainder of the half. Sparta B’s best chance came just before the interval when winger David Horák cut inside and forced a sharp save from Jihlava keeper Lukáš Černý.

Second-Half Decisive Strike

Jihlava doubled their lead in the 67th minute after a swift counter-attack. Forward Ondřej Smetana latched onto a through ball from midfielder Petr Novák and calmly slotted the ball into the far corner. Sparta B pushed forward in the final quarter-hour but could not find a way past the resolute Jihlava backline, who recorded their fourth clean sheet in five matches.

Table Impact

• The win moved Vysocina Jihlava up to third place in the Chance Národní Liga standings, level on points with second-placed Dukla Praha.
• Sparta Praha B remained in mid-table, with their young squad still searching for consistency in the league’s second half.
• Jihlava have now won three consecutive away games, a run that has strengthened their bid for promotion.

With only six matches remaining in the season, Jihlava’s form suggests they will be a serious contender for a top-two finish. Sparta B, meanwhile, will look to regroup ahead of a tricky trip to Třinec next weekend.
