Karlovy Vary lost 0-3 to Ústí nad Labem in the Cup Round of 128 on 12 August 2026. The visitors took all three goals before half-time, leaving the hosts with nothing to show for the second period. By then the tie was effectively over.
The goals came at the 45-minute mark — three of them in quick succession as the first half closed. Ústí nad Labem struck hard when the clock was running down, and the scoreline reflected their efficiency. And here's the thing: all three arrived in the same minute.
Looking at recent form, Ústí nad Labem had drawn 3-3 with Arsenal Česká Lípa on 7 August before beating Hanačka 2-0. Karlovy Vary's last outing was a 1-1 draw with Chomutov on 2 August. To be fair, both sides came into this match off mixed results.
The visitors had a history with the hosts — a 6-0 away victory in February 2026 — and carried that momentum into the cup tie. Karlovy Vary had also suffered heavy defeats against Kržmiče (5-0) and Sokol Hostouň (2-0) earlier this year. The pattern was familiar.
This result extends Ústí nad Labem's winning run in domestic competition while Karlovy Vary's cup campaign ends without a single goal. The visitors move on in the tournament, the hosts go home.
