Spartak Poliče nad Metují secured a 2-1 victory over Dvůr Králové nad Labem in the 1/128-finals of the Cup on Saturday. The away side came from behind to claim the win, with D. Krotil having opened the scoring for the hosts before half-time. The match concluded with a late goal in the 90th minute, confirming the visitors' progress.
Krotil struck at 45+2 minutes to give Dvůr Králové the lead just as the first half was concluding. Spartak Poliče responded after the break, finding an equaliser at the 77th minute before completing the turnaround with a 90th-minute winner. The hosts had been knocking on the door, but the away side closed the game out when it mattered.
The result ended a difficult run for Dvůr Králové, who have not won since a match against Trutnov in February 2026. Their recent record includes heavy defeats, including a 0-9 loss and an 0-8 defeat in previous seasons. Spartak Poliče, by contrast, showed resilience after a 0-4 defeat to Hradec Králové II earlier this year.
With the victory, Spartak Poliče advanced in the competition while Dvůr Králové's cup campaign came to an end. The visitors' ability to respond after going behind demonstrated character, particularly given the pattern of their recent results. The hosts will need to regroup after falling apart after the opener.
