Havlickuv Brod dismantled Pisek in a club friendly on Wednesday. The visitors secured a 4-1 victory at the home ground. It was a comprehensive win for the travelling side.
And here's the thing about these matches; they rarely hide the truth. Pisek looked lost without structure. To be fair, they tried to press, but it fell apart quickly. The visitors took advantage of every mistake.
The hosts have been vulnerable at the back recently. Their last 5 games show a trend of conceding heavily. Havlickuv Brod capitalised on that weakness throughout.
The away side were a menace all night, moving the ball with purpose. They found space behind the Pisek defence repeatedly. The scoreline of 4-1 reflected a comfortable performance. There were moments where the visitors could have scored more. It was a masterclass in efficiency.
It wasn't a straight knockout, so the tempo varied. But the quality difference was clear. The visitors never looked in danger. They controlled the midfield for long periods.
Pisek have work to do before the season begins. Havlickuv Brod look like they mean business. The visitors showed they are ready for a challenge.
