Šumperk secured a 2-0 victory against Kroměříž in a club friendly match on 18 August 2026, with the game concluding at the home side's ground. The result leaves the visitors with a clean sheet and three points from their latest outing, while the hosts go home empty-handed. And here's the thing, this was not a competitive fixture but rather a preparatory encounter ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Kroměříž came into this match carrying momentum from a 7-1 triumph over Valašské Meziříčí on 14 August, having previously edged Hrušovany-Brod 4-3 in September 2025. The home side will be looking to build on that winning streak, though this afternoon's performance offered little reason for optimism. By then, they may have begun to question whether their recent form had been sustainable.
Šumperk arrived with a mixed record of their own, having dismantled Opava 6-1 on 13 August before securing a 3-0 clean sheet against Nový Jičín. That victory came after a heavy 5-1 defeat to Přerov earlier in September, suggesting inconsistency in their results. To be fair, they have shown they can score freely when the opportunity arises.
The away side's recent history includes a 4-2 win over Opava and a 5-1 victory against Hockey Vršovice, indicating they possess attacking quality when things click. This friendly result adds to their growing confidence, even if the opposition was not at full strength. The scoreline reflected a comfortable evening for the visitors.
The 2-0 margin suggests Šumperk controlled proceedings without excessive pressure, while Kroměříž struggled to find their rhythm against a well-organised defence. Both teams now have something to take from this encounter, though the visitors clearly came out on top. By then, the manager will be reviewing what worked and what needs addressing before the next fixture.
