FC Zlín pulled off a stunning 3-0 home victory over league leaders FC Viktoria Plzen in the Czech Chance Liga on March 1, 2026. This shocking result was one of the biggest upsets of the season and a massive boost for Zlín's survival hopes. Zlín, fighting relegation, played with incredible intensity and took a surprise lead in the first half. They doubled their advantage early in the second period, causing panic in the Plzen ranks, and sealed the win with a third goal on the counter-attack late on. Plzen were uncharacteristically poor and failed to respond to Zlín's aggression. The Zlín manager hailed the performance as a perfect example of team spirit, while the shell-shocked Plzen coach admitted his side was well below par. The result threw the title race wide open.
