Kozlovice claimed a 4:3 victory over Slavichin in the Round of 128 of the Cup on 19 August. The match delivered seven goals across two halves, with the home side ultimately prevailing despite a spirited response from their visitors. By then, the tie had already established itself as one of those cup fixtures where everything can happen in a matter of minutes.
M. Kozak opened the scoring after five minutes, setting the tone for an open encounter. Slavichin equalised through an own goal from J. Garaja in the fifteenth, before K. Chytil restored the lead for Kozlovice just eight minutes later. O. Sevcik converted a penalty in the thirty-first to bring Slavichin level again, and here's the thing — the match had swung back and forth with alarming frequency.
Kozlovice seized control before the interval with K. Chytil's second goal in the thirty-sixth, followed by P. Michl's strike in the fortieth. The visitors refused to surrender, however, and P. Nanak pulled one back in the eightieth minute. To be fair, Slavichin had shown enough resilience to keep the contest alive until the final whistle.
Statistics told a story of relative parity. Both sides held possession at 0.5, though Kozlovice registered more attacks at 110 compared to Slavichin's 103. The home team won nine corners to four and registered five shots on target against four for their opponents. Three yellow cards were shown to each side, with no red cards issued.
Cup football has its own rules, and this was a match decided by moments rather than sustained dominance. Kozlovice extended their presence in the competition while Slavichin departed with pride intact after a valiant effort. The result keeps the hosts in contention for further progress in what promises to be an intriguing tournament.
