Tactical Story

Teplice set up in a 4-2-3-1, looking to press high and win second balls. Banik Ostrava, in a 3-4-3, relied on wing-backs to provide width. The home side’s midfield duo of Hora and Adrián Dziuban outworked their counterparts, disrupting Ostrava’s rhythm. Ostrava’s inability to convert set pieces proved costly.

Standout Players

Jakub Hora was instrumental for Teplice, scoring one goal and running the game from midfield. Daniel Trubač’s poacher’s instinct earned him the winning goal. For Ostrava, David Buchta was a lively presence up front but lacked support.

Table Impact

The win moved Teplice up to 10th place in the Chance Liga, five points clear of the relegation zone. Banik Ostrava remained 6th, now four points behind 5th-placed Slovácko and missing a chance to climb. Teplice will next travel to Jablonec, while Ostrava host Sparta Prague in a crucial fixture.
