Žďár nad Sázavou’s hopes of climbing the Czech Fourth Division table took another blow on 6 September 2026 as Chotěboř left with a well-deserved 2-0 victory. The home side, playing in front of their own supporters at the evening kick-off, never found their rhythm against a disciplined and efficient Chotěboř outfit that took its chances at key moments.

Match Overview

Chotěboř arrived as the sharper and more organised side from the opening whistle. They controlled the midfield exchanges and pressed Žďár nad Sázavou into mistakes, particularly down the flanks. The away side’s two goals reflected a clinical edge that the hosts simply could not match on the night.

The result leaves Žďár nad Sázavou looking over their shoulders in the table, while Chotěboř will take considerable momentum into their next fixture. For a fourth-tier Czech side, consistency at home is vital, and this defeat will be a frustrating one for the coaching staff to analyse.

Key Moments

• First-half breakthrough: Chotěboř opened the scoring before the interval, capitalising on a defensive lapse in the home box.
• Second goal seals it: Late in the second half, a swift counter-attack doubled the away lead and extinguished any hope of a late Žďár revival.

Season Impact

For Chotěboř, the clean sheet away from home is a marker of their defensive solidity and could prove valuable in a tightly contested division. Žďár nad Sázavou, by contrast, will need to sharpen up their attacking output and avoid the individual errors that proved so costly in this 0-2 reverse.
