Teplice Cruise Past Dukla Prague in Chance Liga Encounter

Teplice, May 16, 2026 – FK Teplice continued their resurgence under new management with a comfortable 2-0 win over struggling Dukla Prague at the Na Stínadlech stadium. The victory lifts Teplice into mid‑table safety, while Dukla remain deep in relegation trouble.

Match Overview

Teplice started with intent, pressing high and forcing Dukla into early mistakes. The breakthrough came in the 27th minute when striker David Vaníček latched onto a through ball from midfielder Jakub Hora and slotted past Dukla’s goalkeeper Matěj Kovář. The home side dominated possession and created several half‑chances before the break.

Key Moments

• 27’ – Goal! Vaníček finished calmly after a clever pass from Hora.
• 58’ – Goal! Right‑back Marek Kodeš doubled the lead with a low drive from the edge of the box after a corner was partially cleared.
• 72’ – Red Card! Dukla’s defender Petr Chodura was sent off for a second booking, ending any hope of a comeback.

Dukla Prague’s best chance came just before halftime, when forward Martin Doležal hit the post from a tight angle. After the red card, Teplice controlled the game comfortably, seeing out the final minutes without alarm.

Tactical Story

Teplice deployed a flexible 4‑3‑3 that allowed full‑backs Kodeš and Jan Kozák to push forward, creating overloads in wide areas. Dukla struggled to cope with the movement of Teplice’s front three, and their midfield was overrun in the second half. The visitors’ attempts to play long balls to Doležal were well‑handled by Teplice’s central duo of Tomáš Kůs and Lukáš Sadílek.

Standout Players

• David Vaníček – A constant threat, his goal and movement unsettled the Dukla defence.
• Marek Kodeš – Scored a rare goal and provided width on the right.
• Jakub Hora – Dictated play from midfield with intelligent passing.

League Impact

The win moves Teplice up to 10th place, eight points clear of the relegation zone with four matches remaining. Dukla Prague remain 16th, now five points from safety. The result also extends Teplice’s unbeaten run at home to four games, boosting confidence ahead of a tough run‑in against Slovácko and Sparta Prague.
