Dukla Prague 0–3 Baník Ostrava | Czech Chance Liga | 23 May 2026
Baník Ostrava produced an emphatic away display to dismantle Dukla Prague 3‑0 at the Stadion Juliska. The visitors were in command from the first whistle, scoring twice before half‑time and adding a third after the break to strengthen their grip on a top‑six position.
First‑Half Dominance
Baník took the lead in the 14th minute when striker Tomáš Zajíc met a cross from the left with a powerful header that gave Dukla goalkeeper Filip Nguyen no chance. The goal came after a sustained period of pressure, with Baník’s high press forcing errors from the Dukla backline.
The second goal arrived in the 38th minute. A corner kick was only partially cleared, and midfielder Jaroslav Svozil rifled a first‑time shot from the edge of the area that deflected past a helpless Nguyen. Dukla had no answer to Baník’s intensity and creativity in the final third.
Second‑Half Statement
Baník continued to push after the restart and sealed the victory in the 63rd minute. Winger Ondřej Sáček dribbled past three defenders before slotting the ball into the far corner, capping a man‑of‑the‑match performance. Dukla offered little going forward, managing only one shot on target in the entire match.

Table Impact
The win lifts Baník Ostrava to 6th place with 41 points, now within striking distance of the European places. Dukla remain 13th on 29 points and are just four points above the relegation play‑off spot. With several tough fixtures ahead, Dukla will need to quickly address their defensive frailties.
For Baník, this performance signals they are a force to be reckoned with in the run‑in. Their attacking trio of Zajíc, Sáček, and Svozil has now combined for 18 league goals this season.
