Slovan Velvary hosted Brandýs nad Labem in the 1/128-finals of the Cup on August 1st, 2026, and the visitors took all three points with a narrow 1-0 victory. The match ended after a single goal in the sixty-sixth minute decided proceedings at the home ground. By then, the hosts had controlled possession but could not find the breakthrough they needed.
The decisive moment came in the sixty-sixth minute when Brandýs nad Labem struck. And here's the thing — the data records only the goal itself, not the scorer or the manner of the finish. What is clear is that the away side converted their chances while the hosts struggled to do the same despite enjoying more of the ball.
The statistics tell a story of inefficiency from the home side. Slovan Velvary held fifty-five percent possession and registered 131 attacks, yet managed only four shots on target. Brandýs nad Labem, with forty-five percent possession and fewer attacks, produced seven shots on target — a difference that explains why the away side took the win.
To be fair, both teams created opportunities elsewhere. The hosts earned five corners and committed 16 free kicks, while the visitors claimed seven corners and had 10 free kicks awarded. Discipline proved uneven, with Slovan Velvary collecting three yellow cards compared to a single booking for Brandýs nad Labem. The visitors worked their throw-ins more effectively, completing 28 compared to 20 for the hosts.
The result means Brandýs nad Labem advance in the Cup after a series of difficult fixtures. Their recent record showed heavy defeats, including a 1-4 loss to Přepřže and a 1-6 hammering by Sokol Zápy. This victory gives them a chance to regroup and test themselves at a higher level in the tournament.
