From the whistle, Bzenec demonstrated its intent. The first breakthrough came in the 15th minute when forward Daniel Novák, who had been in scintillating form, found the back of the net with a decisive strike. This goal not only set the tone for the match but also sent a wave of relief through the home crowd, who had witnessed their team struggle earlier in the season.

Just five minutes later, Bzenec doubled their lead. Midfielder Martin Havelka played a crucial role, threading a brilliant pass through the defense, allowing Novák to score again. Suddenly, it was 2-0, and Bzenec was firmly in control. The home side's quick and fluid play had Slavičín on the back foot, and it was evident that their strategy to press high was paying off.

Despite the daunting deficit, Slavičín refused to back down. They pulled a goal back in the 36th minute, bringing hope back to their bench. A clever interplay between Tom Šimek and Vojtěch Zelenka created an opportunity, allowing Šimek to slot the ball past the goalkeeper.
