Jihlava U20 saw off Kometa Brno U20 3-2 in a club friendly on Monday. The match took place on 18 August at 15:00. It was a return fixture after Kometa Brno had won 2-1 at home in July.
There were no official minute-by-minute records available for this encounter. What is known is that the hosts came out on top, ending a run of mixed results. They had drawn 1-2 to Kometa Brno in their previous meeting and won 3-2 against Muntfeld HC U20 on 11 August.
Kometa Brno came into this game in better shape. They had beaten Muntfeld HC U20 2-1 on 14 August and thrashed Poruba U20 5-1 the following day. And here's the thing — they had already recorded a victory over Jihlava U20 earlier in the month, so this was an opportunity to answer back.
The result leaves both sides with something to reflect on. Jihlava U20 had shown attacking promise in recent outings, including a 4-1 win over Poruba U20 and a 7-3 victory against Kolín U20. Kometa Brno's heavy 4-8 defeat to České Budějovice U20 in July remains the outlier in their form.
On the table, this friendly does not shift any positions. Both teams are still building. The scoreline suggests a match decided by fine margins — three goals and two in reply. By then, any tactical adjustments would have been made in real time rather than recorded for posterity.
