Ruthless Havířov Thrash Jiskra Rýmařov 5-0 to Cement Third Place and Signal Promotion Intent

By Stadion Dukla, Havířov – October 12, 2025

Havířov’s Stadion Dukla hasn’t always echoed with certainty this fall, but on a chilly Sunday afternoon, the hosts banished any lingering doubts about their 4. liga – Divizie F ambitions with a relentless 5-0 dismantling of Jiskra Rýmařov. In a performance marked by precision, hunger, and a lethal attacking edge, Havířov not only recorded their third consecutive five-goal barrage but also issued a statement of intent to the league’s frontrunners.

First Half: Early Dominance Sets the Tone

From the opening whistle, Havířov pressed high and drove forward, eager to impose their will on a Rýmařov side that arrived with fresh scars from four defeats in their last five. The breakthrough was almost inevitable: in the 13th minute, midfielder Tomáš Král exploited a lapse in Rýmařov’s back line to finish neatly from close range. The goal seemed to unshackle Havířov’s attacking talents, and seven minutes later, striker Patrik Novotný doubled the advantage after a clever one-two with Lukáš Dvořák left the defense flat-footed.

The early deficit rattled Jiskra Rýmařov, who struggled to contain waves of blue shirts pouring through midfield. A mere defensive presence, the visitors failed to muster a substantive response before Havířov struck again—this time through winger Roman Kubík, whose crisp volley capped off a sweeping move in the 34th minute. Halftime came as a mercy, the scoreboard already reading 3-0.

Second Half: No Respite for Reeling Rýmařov

Any thoughts that Havířov might ease off were dispelled within minutes of the restart. Scenting blood and roared on by the home faithful, the hosts continued their onslaught. Dvořák added his name to the score sheet in the 52nd, slaloming past two defenders before slotting a low shot inside the near post.

Jiskra Rýmařov’s woes only deepened in the 65th minute when their captain, David Konečný, was shown a straight red card for a reckless challenge on Král—an incident that underscored the visitors’ frustration and reduced any hope of a late rally to ashes.

Havířov’s fifth, a thumping header from central defender Jan Sýkora on a corner in the 71st, was met with jubilation and cemented a rout that had felt inevitable for much of the afternoon.

Context: Form, Standings and a Tale of Two Trajectories

If Havířov’s latest victories—5-1 at Pustá Polom and 5-1 against Nový Jičín—signaled a team hitting top gear, this emphatic showing confirmed their resurgence. They now sit firmly in third place with 18 points from 10 matches (6W-0D-4L), the most prolific attack in recent weeks and a defense increasingly difficult to breach. Momentum is on their side, pushing them into the thick of the promotion fight as they eye the two teams just above them.

For Jiskra Rýmařov, the defeat is an alarming punctuation to a downward spiral. Once briefly flirting with midtable comfort, Rýmařov have now lost four of their last five, conceding 17 goals in that stretch. Their solitary win against Petřvald na Moravě is fast receding in the rearview—and with just 13 points from 10 matches (4W-1D-5L), they find themselves in 10th, perilously close to the relegation dogfight.

Today’s result also extended Havířov’s upper hand in recent head-to-head meetings. Rýmařov, still searching for answers, have failed to claim three points against their rivals in the last three encounters.

Looking Ahead: Stakes Rise as Season Unfolds

Havířov, rejuvenated and brimming with confidence, now face a crucial stretch—with each fixture potentially vaulting them closer to their long-held promotion dreams. Their ability to maintain this attacking verve while shoring up at the back will be tested against higher-placed opposition in the coming weeks.

As for Jiskra Rýmařov, the concerns are mounting. Defensive frailties, lack of attacking spark, and a growing disciplinary record leave coach Petr Zeman with urgent questions to answer. Their immediate future will demand grit and reinvention if they hope to avoid being sucked into the relegation mire.

On a brisk October afternoon, Havířov’s fans left Stadion Dukla with the rare luxury of optimism—a five-star performance has put their team firmly in the ascendant, while casting a long shadow on Rýmařov’s autumn hopes. The chase for promotion, and the battle for survival, are only beginning to heat up.
