Muntfeld beat Jihlava 3:0 in a friendly match on Monday evening. The result came at their expense after a week that had seen them take points from České Budějovice and Taborsko. Jihlava have now lost five in a row against this opponent, a run stretching back to last season.
The hosts went into the game looking to build on their 3:2 victory over České Budějovice. Instead they found themselves behind by the half-hour mark and never recovered. Muntfeld added a second before the interval and a third in the closing stages. The away end never stopped.
By then Jihlava had already shown signs of fragmentation. They had won two of their last five but lost three, including that 5:0 hammering at Litvínov's hands. The high line was picked apart on more than one occasion. To be fair, Muntfeld punished them from a corner.
The visitors have not won since March either, though their recent record against Tršinec shows they can score. Two wins and three defeats in five games suggests a side finding its feet after a difficult spell. The deal has stalled in their domestic campaign, but this fixture carried its own weight.
Jihlava sit fourth in the table with zero games and zero points — the season has just started and the table says nothing yet. Muntfeld occupy the same position, which is to say they occupy no meaningful position. What matters is that this result extended a run for the visitors and ended a clean-sheet streak for the hosts.
