Hradec Králové women beat Havlíčkův Brod 3-1 in the Czech Cup on 19 September 2026. The host side had not won any of their last five matches, losing each one. And here's the thing — the visitors showed more resilience when it mattered.
Havlíčkův Brod's recent record reads like a catalogue of defeats. They lost 0-3 in three straight fixtures in September 2025 before dropping two more 0-3 games in March 2022. The visitors, meanwhile, had won three of their last five, including a 3-1 victory over Brno B and a 3-2 win against Chrenov.
To be fair, the final score tells you only so much. Hradec Králové scored three goals and kept a clean sheet, which is what carries you through a cup tie. The hosts managed one reply, but it was not enough to change the complexion of the game.
By then the visitors had extended their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions. That run had included two losses — one 1-3 away at Rudolfov and another 0-3 at the same ground — but the away end never stopped believing.
The result moves Hradec Králové deeper into the tournament while Havlíčkův Brod's search for a breakthrough continues. Three goals separated the sides, and that margin will give the visitors confidence heading into the next round.
