FK Horni Redice produced a polished away performance to knock FK Kolin out of the Czech Cup with a clear 3-0 win on August 1, 2026. The visitors were clinical in front of goal and utterly disciplined without the ball, handing their hosts a lesson in cup efficiency.
Match Report
From the opening exchanges, Horni Redice looked the sharper side. Their movement off the ball kept the Kolin defenders constantly guessing, and it came as little surprise when they opened the scoring midway through the first half. A clever reverse pass released the left winger, whose low cross was turned in at the near post. Kolin tried to respond but lacked the penetration needed to trouble the organised Redice defence.
Second Half Decisive
The away side sealed the tie with two quick goals in the second period. First, a powerful strike from the edge of the box after a cleared corner made it 2-0. Then, in the 75th minute, a swift transitional move finished with a calm one-on-one conversion. Kolin's frustration grew as the game wore on, and they were fortunate not to concede further late on.
Standout Performers
- Horni Redice's number 9: Led the line superbly, holding up play and scoring one goal while assisting another.
- Central midfield pairing: Dominated possession and dictated tempo throughout the 90 minutes.
Cup Context
The Czech Cup always provides opportunities for lower-league sides to make a name for themselves, and FK Horni Redice will eagerly await the draw for the next round. For FK Kolin, the defeat is a bitter blow, particularly in front of their home supporters, but the margin of loss reflects a genuine gulf in quality on the night rather than any lack of effort.
Attention now turns to league duties for both clubs, with Redice hoping to carry this momentum forward and Kolin seeking a quick response after being eliminated.
