Jihlava U20 beat Muntfeld HC U20 6:1 in a club friendly on Thursday. The match took place on 27 August and finished with a comfortable margin for the hosts. No detailed events were recorded for this fixture.
It was a sharp contrast to their meeting on 11 August. Jihlava won that one 3:2, while Muntfeld lost 2:3 in the reverse fixture. By then both sides had already played twice against České Budějovice and Kometa Brno.
Jihlava's recent run has been uneven. They beat Kometa Brno 3:2 on 18 August before losing 3:7 and 3:6 to České Budějovice on 25 and 20 August respectively. The clean-sheet run came to an end against those matches.
Muntfeld looked better in their last two outings. They beat Mladá Boleslav 5:4 on 25 August and saw off Kometa Brno 3:1 on 20 August. To be fair, those opponents are not at the same level as České Budějovice.
And here's the thing about friendlies — the result rarely tells the whole story. Both teams are still building rhythm ahead of the season. The scoreline was decisive, but the tactical work is what matters.
What the numbers do show is that Jihlava took their chances. Muntfeld had no response after going behind. The line has barely moved in these early games, but momentum is building on both sides.
