Austria women beat Czech Republic 74:73 in the Women's Continental Cup on 28 August 2026. The result keeps the hosts in second place on four points from three games, while the visitors remain bottom with zero points from three defeats.
It was a tight affair from the off. Both sides had been involved in close contests recently — Czech Republic lost 64:65 to Turkey on 27 August and had won their previous two games by narrow margins. Austria's last outing was a heavy 104:19 victory over Guernsey, but before that they lost 35:40 to Turkey and dropped a 91:92 thriller against Norway in October 2025.
The home side showed why they sit second in the table. They have won two of three, and this result extends that run. Czech Republic, meanwhile, have lost all three of theirs — including a 91:90 defeat to Luxembourg and a 127:126 loss to Norway earlier in June.
By then the visitors were already on the back foot. Three losses and zero points means they face a difficult road ahead. Austria, at four points, have room to breathe but not enough to relax.
The scoreline tells you everything about the match. Seventy-four to seventy-three — a single point separates two teams that traded blows throughout. Czech Republic came from the dead in the second half, but Austria held every card when it mattered.
The standings now look wider than they did before kick-off. Austria move clear of the bottom spot, while Czech Republic sit alone at the foot with nothing to show for three attempts.
