Match Overview

Prostějov, playing at home, knew they had to be perfect to compete with a top-flight side like Olomouc. Their disciplined defensive structure frustrated the visitors for long periods and, after falling behind late in the first half, the hosts responded with real character. A scrappy equaliser from a corner immediately after the interval gave Prostějov the platform to push for more. They carved out two or three decent chances but just could not find the winning touch.

Olomouc enjoyed more of the ball and looked technically superior, especially in midfield. Yet the home side's aggressive pressing often forced errors, making this a tense and open cup tie rather than a routine away victory.
