Havlíčkův Brod secured a 1:0 victory over Znojmo Orli in a club friendly match on 27 August 2026. The result came just nine days after the teams had met, when the hosts won 2:1 at home. This time around, the margin was tighter but the outcome remained the same. The match served as preparation for both sides ahead of the upcoming season.
Znojmo Orli arrived in poor form, having lost their previous three matches including a heavy 0:8 defeat to Třebíč. Havlíčkův Brod had shown more resilience, bouncing back from two losses earlier in their campaign with wins against Benátky and Znojmo Orli. The contrast in recent results was evident from the start.
The home side controlled the tempo, playing with confidence after their impressive 6:1 victory in September 2025. Znojmo Orli struggled to find their rhythm, their attack lacking the sharpness that had produced seven goals against Žďár nad Sázavou the previous August. One mistake ends it when you are playing like this, and the visitors paid the price.
The decisive moment came in the second half when Havlíčkův Brod tightened things up defensively. Znojmo Orli pushed forward in search of an equaliser but could not break through. The hosts held firm and protected their lead until the final whistle.
For Znojmo Orli, this result extended their winless run to four matches across all competitions. The 0:8 loss earlier in the month remains a difficult memory, and this defeat added to their concerns. They have nothing to lose now and must regroup quickly.
Havlíčkův Brod, meanwhile, ended a barren spell with this victory. After the tough losses to Chrudim, they showed character to come back and beat their opponents again. The scoreline told the story of a team that refused to give up.
