Poruba ran riot against Nový Jičín in a club friendly on Thursday evening, closing out a 9-0 victory that left little doubt about the gulf between the sides. The match took place on 27 August 2026, and by the time the final whistle sounded, the visitors had already closed the game out well before stoppage time.
What struck first was the rhythm of the visitors. They came in with confidence, and that showed immediately. Nový Jičín, meanwhile, looked like they were still finding their feet after a difficult run of results.
The home side's recent history tells its own story. They had lost 4-2 to Kopřivnice just two days before, and before that suffered 4-1 defeats against Slezan Opava in both September and last month. That pattern of conceding freely didn't improve on Thursday.
Poruba's form, by contrast, carried a different energy. They had been involved in end-to-end affairs — 5-4 against AZ Havířov, 5-3 against Martin, 3-2 against Zagłębie Sosnowiec. But they also knew how to finish things off, beating Jastrzębie 2-0 and thrashing Kopřivnice 6-1 in the same window.
The scoreline reflected a team that let the game flow and punished Nový Jičín when opportunities came. There was no tactical chess match to dissect here. The visitors took what they were given and didn't look back.
For Nový Jičín, this was another lesson in how quickly momentum can shift. They had shown flashes of promise earlier, beating Bohemians Ostrava 3-1, but consistency remains the question mark. Poruba, meanwhile, have turned their attack into something that keeps defences guessing.
