HC Olomouc secured a 3:1 victory over Kometa Brno in a club friendly on Tuesday evening. The match took place at the Brno arena on 8 September 2026, with the visiting side taking all three points. It was a straightforward result for Olomouc, who managed to impose themselves on the game despite Brno's home advantage.
And here's the thing about form — both teams had been playing regularly in recent weeks. Brno came into this fixture with three wins and two losses in their last five friendlies, including that 3:2 triumph over Slovan Bratislava on 1 September. Olomouc's run looked different: a single win against Trinec on 1 September, followed by three defeats and one draw in the preceding four matches.
To be fair, the scoreboard told its own story. Olomouc took control early and never looked back, while Brno could only manage a consolation strike. By then it was clear that the visitors had the better structure in place, something you could see in how they moved the puck and created chances. Brno's effort wasn't without merit, but they lacked the cutting edge when it mattered most.
The result does little to shake up any expectations either way. This was a friendly, after all, and both sides will be looking at individual performances rather than league positions. Brno can take something from their defensive solidity in parts, while Olomouc will feel encouraged by that away display.
Both teams return to training this week with eyes on the upcoming competitive season. The friendly window gives coaches a chance to experiment, and Tuesday's result suggests Olomouc may have found some momentum at the right time.
