Strakonice edged past Milevsko 2-1 in the 1/128-finals of the Cup on Friday evening. The home side took all three points from a match that started with both teams looking to make an early statement. S. Keclik proved decisive with two goals of his own.
The opening exchanges told their own story, with Keclik striking first in the fifth minute. Milevsko responded quickly, Kortan finding the net just three minutes later to level matters. By then it was clear neither side was willing to surrender territory easily.
What followed was a battle of patience rather than fireworks, until the seventy-first minute brought the decisive moment. Keclik headed home his second, giving Strakonice the lead they would not relinquish. The goal shifted the momentum entirely, and Milevsko found themselves chasing the game for the remainder.
One mistake ends it in knockout football, and Milevsko's early parity could not be sustained under sustained pressure. Strakonice controlled the middle phases, though they did not create the chance volume one might expect from a two-goal victory.
The result moves Strakonice into the next round, while Milevsko's cup run comes to an end. Recent form has been mixed for both sides, and this match will feel like a missed opportunity for the visitors who showed promise in those opening eight minutes.
