Trinec U20 saw off Poruba U20 5-3 in a club friendly match on Monday, 11 August. The result adds another win to their pre-season run, though the scoreline suggests the game opened up more than either side might have planned.
And here's the thing — Poruba came into this fixture knowing they had just lost 3-0 to Trinec on 6 August. They travelled again, and this time the goals came at a different rate. Three for them, five for the hosts.
To be fair, Trinec have been in better shape lately. They beat Zilina U20 4-0 and Poruba U20 3-0 in their last two outings, after a heavy 5-4 defeat to Vitkovice U20. Poruba, meanwhile, have struggled — three losses in their last five matches, including two defeats to Dynamo Pardubice U20 where they conceded seven goals.
By then you could see which side was sharper in the opening exchanges. Trinec's attack looked more organised, and Poruba's defence gave up space that was punished. The goals kept coming without any particular pattern — not the kind of match where one team dominated every phase.
The friendly served its purpose for both sets of players. Trinec U20 move on with momentum, while Poruba U20 have more work to do before their next competitive fixture. The scoreline says it all.
