Mladá Boleslav 0–2 Teplice | Czech Chance Liga | 23 May 2026
Teplice delivered a composed and clinical performance at the Lokotrans Aréna on Friday evening, defeating Mladá Boleslav 2–0 to climb into the top half of the Czech Chance Liga table. The visitors struck twice in the first half and then defended resolutely to secure three valuable points on the road.
Match Overview
From the opening whistle, Teplice showed clear intent to press high and disrupt Mladá Boleslav's build‑up play. The home side, usually strong at home, struggled to find rhythm against a well‑organized Teplice midfield. The breakthrough came in the 23rd minute when Teplice winger Jiří Kůrka cut inside from the left and curled a low shot into the far corner past goalkeeper Jan Šeda.
Mladá Boleslav tried to respond immediately, but their best chance of the half — a header from Tomáš Ladra — was tipped over the bar by Tomáš Grigar. Just before the interval, Teplice doubled their lead. A quick counter‑attack saw midfielder Daniel Trubač slip a pass through to striker Matej Pulkrab, who calmly slotted home from 12 yards.
Second‑Half Defensive Masterclass
After the restart, Mladá Boleslav pushed forward in search of a lifeline. Coach Pavel Hoftych introduced fresh attacking options, but Teplice’s back four, marshalled by captain Lukáš Mareček, stood firm. The visitors dropped into a compact 4‑4‑2 block, forcing the home side into speculative long‑range efforts.
- Possession: Mladá Boleslav 58% – 42% Teplice
- Shots on target: Mladá Boleslav 3 – 5 Teplice
- Corners: 7 – 3 in favour of the home side
Teplice goalkeeper Tomáš Grigar made two crucial saves in the second half, the best a reflex stop from a deflected free‑kick by David Douděra in the 71st minute.
Impact on the Standings
The victory lifts Teplice to 7th place in the Chance Liga with 38 points, just three points behind the European qualification spots. Mladá Boleslav, meanwhile, remain 11th on 33 points and have now lost two consecutive home matches.
For Teplice, this result underlines their growing resilience on the road. With a solid defensive record and a clear attacking plan, they look capable of mounting a late‑season push towards the top six.
