Trinec eased to a comfortable 6:2 victory over Frýdek-Místek in a club friendly on Monday evening. The result came after both sides had been testing their form in recent outings.
And here's the thing — the hosts came out of the blocks with some intent. They managed to get two goals on the board before Trinec took control of the match. But by then the visitors had switched up their tempo and saw it out from there.
Frýdek-Místek had been building momentum with wins against Pržerov and Prostějov in their previous fixtures. To be fair, they showed flashes of that same energy early on, but couldn't sustain it against a Trinec side that knows how to punish teams from a corner.
The visitors' recent run against Dynamo Pardubice had been mixed, with wins and losses coming in quick succession. They came for a cross they never reached in the first half, but when they needed to raise the tempo, they had the tools to do it.
What stood out was how the match settled into a pattern. Frýdek-Místek couldn't cut Trinec open at will, and the visitors made their chances count. The academy graduate marked his first start with a goal for Trinec, though that's more reflection than fact.
By the final whistle the scoreboard read 6:2, and that's all you need to know about who had the better game. The hosts ran out of legs by the closing stages, and Trinec picked up what was on offer.
