Tempo Prague faced Lokomotiv Vlavin in the 1/128-finals of the Cup on the first of August. The match ended 3-2 to the visitors after a contest that refused to settle. And here's the thing — these cup ties have a way of finding their own rhythm.
Lehocky opened the scoring in the ninth minute for Lokomotiv. Tempo answered through Tvaroh at the sixteenth. By then, the pattern was clear: neither side would yield easily.
Just before half-time, Holinka restored Lokomotiv's lead at 45+1. The visitors had camped in the final third during those opening exchanges, testing the home defence at every opportunity. To be fair, Tempo kept their heads and found their way back into matters. Two further goals came after the interval, one at the seventy-minute mark and another at eighty-eight.
The red card at seventy-six altered the complexion of the encounter, removing one player from proceedings. The home side never got going after that disruption, and the visitors began to control the tempo.
The visitors took full advantage of the numerical edge, and the late goal sealed their passage. Tempo Prague's recent form — those high-scoring encounters in February — offered little consolation for this exit. Lokomotiv advance, and the Cup continues for them.
