Zlín lost 1:2 to Dukla Trenčín in a club friendly on Tuesday, 26 August 2026. The visitors turned the result from their meeting six days earlier when Zlín had won 3:2 on home soil. No further details of the match were available.
The two sides had crossed paths recently enough to make this a proper reverse fixture. Zlín's 3:2 victory on 20 August had seemed comfortable at the time, but the visitors came away with the points this time. By then, both teams were already stringing together irregular results across their recent run.
Zlín's form has been uneven. They drew 2:0 at Nitra before losing 2:4 to Žilina and then 3:7 in the most recent outing on 25 August. Those three matches alone produced ten goals conceded. The 1:0 win over Zvolen on 11 August looked like a blip in an otherwise open defence.
Trenčín have been similarly inconsistent. Three defeats in five matches — against Žilina twice and Zlín — sit alongside wins over Skalica and Prešov in late April. The 3:5 loss to Žilina on 21 August was their most recent, and they bounced back here. The relationship between these two clubs has always been competitive, and this result keeps it that way.
The scoreline means Trenčín take something from both meetings this month. Zlín will look to shore up what has been a porous defensive display in their last two fixtures. The friendly offered little certainty either way, but the visitors proved they could close the game out when it mattered.
