From the opening whistle, it was clear that both teams were desperate for points. Žďár nad Sázavou, sitting fifth in the standings, aimed to solidify their place near the top.

The second half unfolded with both teams exchanging chances, but it was Velká Bíteš who seized their moment of glory. With time running out, the home side capitalized on a defensive oversight from Žďár, allowing striker Pavel Šebek to fire home a powerful shot in the 80th minute, sending the local fans into ecstasy as the scoreboard read 2-1 in favor of Velká Bíteš.
