Vsetín lost 3-4 to Frýdek-Místek in a club friendly on Wednesday evening at their home ground. The match finished with the visitors taking all three points after a competitive ninety minutes. Both sides had been testing their setups ahead of the new campaign.
Vsetín came into the fixture looking to build on their 4-0 victory over Poruba two days earlier. That had followed a 2-3 defeat to AZ Haverlov, so they needed to show consistency. The hosts started brightly but could not hold on when it mattered.
Frýdek-Místek arrived with something to prove after their 2-6 hammering by Tršinec on Monday. They showed more composure in this encounter, finding their rhythm after the heavy defeat. To be fair, they deserved their victory after pushing the hosts hard throughout.
Both teams had mixed results in their last five outings, with wins and losses coming in irregular patterns. Vsetín had won four of their last five while Frýdek-Místek had three wins and two defeats. This friendly did not affect any standings but gave both coaches valuable data.
The result extended Frýdek-Místek's momentum after their poor showing against Tršinec. Vsetín will need to address their defensive frailties before facing tougher opposition. The scoreline reflected a match where chances were created and converted by both sides.
