In a thrilling encounter at Stadion FK Trutnov, FK Trutnov edged out Přepeře with a closely contested 3-2 victory on October 26, 2025, elevating themselves further into the tight race for promotion in the 4. liga - Divizie C. With both teams sitting on 22 points prior to kickoff, the outcome was pivotal in shaping the standings, notably placing Trutnov fourth and Přepeře third, though they remain level on points.
The match began with an intensity that reflected the importance of the moment for both squads. Just moments into the action, Jakub Zeleny showcased his scoring prowess, netting the opener for Trutnov in the 12th minute. The forward had been under scrutiny for his recent form, but this early goal seemed to ignite the home crowd and instill a newfound confidence in his teammates. However, Přepeře responded quickly. Just five minutes later, an equalizer from Daniel Rybka tilted the momentum back, as the striker capitalized on a defensive lapse, continuing his impressive run of form.
With the match delicately poised at 1-1, Trutnov was invigorated by their home supporters. The vital second goal came from Tomáš Krejčí, who struck in the 34th minute, slipping the ball past the Přepeře keeper and bringing the score to 2-1. The increasingly frenetic pace of the match left fans on the edge of their seats, and with halftime approaching, Přepeře sought to regain their footing. Just before the break, they were rewarded with another equalizer, this time from Lukáš Mach, who exhibited composure to finish neatly after a rapid counterattack.
As the second half unfolded, the stakes rose higher, and both teams exchanged threats, demonstrating their desperation for an important victory. It was Zeleny once again who emerged as the hero, scoring his second of the evening and the match-winner in the 68th minute. The forward's shot from a narrow angle left the Přepeře goalkeeper with little chance, sending the home crowd into jubilant celebrations.
Despite their valiant efforts, Přepeře could not find the equalizer, and as the final whistle blew, Trutnov secured a vital three points, consolidating their position in the playoff race. The win marked a superb response after a previous disappointing loss to Vysoké Mýto, and it showcased significant mental resilience from Trutnov.
For Přepeře, there will be reflections on missed opportunities, having been unable to capitalize on a strong start to the season, despite their recent run of form. As both teams look ahead, the stakes remain high. With the season's climax approaching, every point becomes increasingly precious. Fans can expect more tightly contested matches as teams vie for promotion, and with players like Zeleny and Rybka in form, the coming weeks promise to deliver more drama in the 4. liga - Divizie C.
