Pelhřimov vs Chotebor Match Recap - Nov 2, 2025

Under the bright lights of Stadion TJ Spartak Pelhřimov, Pelhřimov vaulted past Chotebor with a resounding 5-2 victory on November 2, 2025. In a match that fans had marked as crucial for both teams' hopes of escaping the lower half of the table, it was Pelhřimov who emerged triumphant, shifting the dynamics not just for this game but likely for the remainder of the season.

From the outset, Pelhřimov displayed an eagerness to break free from their recent slump. Having struggled through three consecutive losses before this contest, their desperation translated into offensive prowess. The hosts opened the scoring early in the first half when Jakub Šebek, whose playmaking abilities were spotlighted in numerous previews leading up to the match, found a gap in Chotebor's defense and slotted home a powerful shot. As I pondered what would happen-perhaps overly optimistic about Pelhřimov's chances-I underestimated their ability to channel frustration into energy.

Chotebor responded quickly to find an equalizer through Martin Ruda, whose previous form hinted at being their saving grace. His goal brought short-lived joy; however, it only seemed to fuel Pelhřimov further. Rather than dampening their spirits, his netting merely ignited a fierce response from Pelhřimov. In swift succession, goals from Lukáš Novák and Marek Horák put them ahead again within minutes.

As halftime approached, Pelhřimov's confidence swelled alongside their lead-and perhaps even more crucially-their resolve sharpened. The atmosphere in the stadium turned electric as wave after wave of attacks poured forth from the home side. It became apparent that they had no intention of allowing Chotebor back into contention.

After intermission, Chotebor's task grew impossibly heavy. While desperate for points themselves-sitting just above last place with only 13 points-they were unable to capitalize on any clear opportunities amid Pelhřimov's relentless pressure. Instead, it was Pelhřimov who added to their tally when Šebek netted his second of the game and then assisted once more as Tomáš Bartoš, fresh off the bench, rounded out the scoreline at five.

Chotebor managed one final push late in the match when Jan Dvořák scored his team's second goal but by then it felt like merely consolation-a reminder that they still possess attacking talent despite having lost eight matches this season.

With this result, Pelhřimov has pulled themselves up slightly on the league ladder now sitting in 12th place with 15 points-all while pushing Chotebor deeper into relegation worries at 15th with just 13 points. If I had been too hopeful prior about an even draw or slim win favoring either side as possible predictions, today's definitive scoreline corrected me with emphasis: Pelhřimov is not done fighting yet.

Looking ahead, each team's next matchup presents new challenges; Pelhřimov will travel to face Sokol Tasovice while Chotebor faces another tough opponent in Sparta Brno-both critical encounters that could reshape these teams' fates yet again. ForPelhrímrov , continuing today's momentum will be key to building confidence going forward. Meanwhile, Chotebor may need to reevaluate their strategy if they hope to start climbing out of danger before time runs out on their season.

The winds may have shifted for Pelhřimov this chilly November day-a day that brought warmth back into their campaign against all odds and pressures faced thus far-and left Chotebor wondering just where they go from here after another crushing defeat.
