Sigma Olomouc B 0 – 1 Hodonin Sardice
Czech Third League | 20 May 2026
Hodonin Sardice ground out a gritty 1-0 away victory over Sigma Olomouc B in a tightly contested Czech Third League encounter. The lone goal proved decisive as the visitors climbed the standings, while the home side was left to rue a series of missed opportunities.
Match Overview
Played under floodlights at the Andrův stadion auxiliary pitch, the match was expected to be a test of endurance for both sides. Sigma Olomouc B, the reserve side of the top-flight club, came into the game with a reputation for technical play but lacked the cutting edge in the final third. Hodonin Sardice, organised and disciplined, executed a classic away performance.
Key Moment
The only goal arrived in the 63rd minute when a swift counter‑attack caught the Sigma defence out of position. A pinpoint cross from the right wing found the head of Hodonin’s target man, who powered the ball past the helpless home goalkeeper. The visitors then dropped deep and absorbed pressure for the final half‑hour.
Tactical Story
Sigma Olomouc B dominated possession (65%), but their passing lacked urgency against a compact 4‑4‑2 block. Hodonin Sardice sat deep, inviting crosses that were comfortably dealt with by their centre‑backs. The home side’s best chances came from set pieces, but they lacked the aerial presence to convert them.

- Marek Novotný (Hodonin Sardice) – Scored the winner and led the line tirelessly.
- Tomáš Horák (Sigma Olomouc B) – Made several driving runs from midfield but lacked support.
- Petr Dvořák (Hodonin Sardice) – Commanded the backline with a series of clearances and interceptions.
Season Impact
The win lifts Hodonin Sardice into the top half of the Czech Third League table, while Sigma Olomouc B remain in the relegation conversation. With only a handful of matches left, points are becoming increasingly precious for both sides.
