Sokolov secured a comfortable 4:1 victory over Khomutov in a club friendly on Monday evening. The result reflected a straightforward afternoon where the hosts controlled proceedings from the outset.
Both sides arrived with mixed recent form. Sokolov had taken three wins from their last five outings, including a 3:2 victory over Vajden on the 4th of September. Khomutov showed more volatility, with a heavy 7:0 win against Zelber sandwiched between defeats to Nitra and Trebic.
The match itself offered little drama beyond the scoreline. Sokolov opened the scoring early and continued to press, while Khomutov's response was limited to a single reply. There were no dramatic shifts in momentum or late comebacks — just a clean performance from the home side.
For Sokolov, this result adds another win to their collection and provides useful preparation ahead of the competitive season. Khomutov, meanwhile, will take the positive aspect of their earlier 7:0 victory and try to build from there. Friendlies are about experimentation, and both managers had plenty to work with.
The final score of 4:1 tells the story without embellishment. Sokolov were the better side and deserved their three points, even if this was only practice for what lies ahead.
