Novo-Vesegí defeated Brno 33:25 in their opening Extraliga fixture on Friday at the home arena. The result gives the hosts their first points of the campaign and ends Brno's unbeaten start.
Brno sat top of the table after their victory over Zlin on 2 September, but that position now looks more fragile. Novo-Vesegí, listed at 10th with no games played, finally have something to show for their first outing.
Brno's recent form has been mixed — they beat Legionovo 30:28 in August but lost badly to Zlin last week. Novo-Vesegí have struggled in their last five meetings, losing four and drawing none, including two defeats to Brno this spring.
The goal difference after this round sits at plus eight for Brno and minus eight for Novo-Vesegí. Both sides have played one match, and the table will shift once the remaining fixtures are completed.
