Prostějov 6-3 Technika Brno
Prostějov hosted Technika Brno in a club friendly on September first, and the visitors learned that six goals were far too many to swallow. The final tally read 6-3, and for a warm-up fixture it carried weight. Prostějov had been grinding through mixed results in recent months, while Brno's run showed flashes of brilliance followed by defensive fragility. This game tidied up both sides before the competitive season properly began.
By then the pattern was clear enough. Prostějov's attack found rhythm, capitalising on the space that Brno's back line left when pressing high. The hosts had beaten Opava 7-1 just days earlier, and they carried that momentum forward. Brno, meanwhile, had shown they could score — five against Žďár nad Sázavou, five against Uherský Brod — but also conceded heavily, eight against Velké Meziříčí and four against Uherský Brod in September.
And here's the thing — the scoreline didn't lie about where each team stood. Prostějov were finding their footing after a difficult period that included losses to Frýdek-Místek, Chomutov and Jihlava. Brno had ended a barren spell with back-to-back victories, but the goals against them told another story. A friendly doesn't decide titles, but it flags tendencies. The high line was picked apart, and Brno's defence looked stretched.
To be fair, both managers had reasons to experiment. The coaching staffs were testing combinations, seeing who could link up under pressure. Prostějov's recent results suggest they've been rebuilding something — the 7-1 win over Opava looked like a statement. Brno's attacks were dangerous when they worked, but the consistency wasn't there yet.
By the final whistle Prostějov had done what they set out to do. Six goals and three to spare — it wasn't a masterclass in defence, but it was a statement of intent. The friendly ended a run of uncertainty for the hosts, while Brno had work to do before the league started properly.
