Match Analysis
AI SummaryHow it unfolded
Sokol Zápy led 1-0 at half-time after a goal in the opening 45 minutes set the tone. The home side doubled their advantage after the interval, making the game safe against a Turnov side that struggled to create clear-cut chances.
The goalscorer details were not published in the official match data, but the scoreline reflects Zápy's dominance — they have now scored 8 goals across their three pre-season outings this summer.
The turning point
The second goal early in the second half effectively ended the contest. Turnov had held firm after falling behind but could not replicate the fightback required. Zápy's ability to score in both halves — as they did in their 6-1 opening friendly win over FK Brandýs nad Labem on 15 July — suggests a side developing dependable rhythm in the final third during pre-season.
Key performers
Without official goalscorer data, the standout performer was the collective Zápy defensive unit, which kept a clean sheet — their first of pre-season after conceding in both previous friendlies (6-1 win vs Brandýs, narrow loss to Hostouň).

By the numbers — interpreted
The betmana.co.uk match page shows a 2-0 scoreline with a 1-0 half-time lead, indicating Zápy controlled the game from start to finish. This was their first clean sheet of pre-season. The H2H record now shows two wins from two meetings for Zápy, with a combined 6-0 aggregate across the two fixtures (including the 4-0 MOL Cup win in 2024). The single-goal half-time margin suggests Turnov were competitive in spells, but Zápy's second-half goal added the margin the scoreline ultimately deserved.
What it means
Sokol Zápy, who compete in the 3. ČFL — Group B (Czech third tier), have now won two of their three pre-season friendlies (6-1 vs Brandýs, 2-0 vs Turnov, plus a narrow loss to Hostouň). They continue their summer preparation against FK Králův Dvůr on Saturday 25 July at 10:00 local time, followed by FK Motorlet Praha on 29 July and TJ Jiskra Domažlice on 1 August before the league season begins.
Turnov, who play in the Czech lower divisions, used the fixture as part of their own pre-season build-up. Full details of their next friendly were not confirmed at the time of writing.
Verdict
A straightforward pre-season workout for Zápy, who did what was required without needing to hit top gear. Two goals, a clean sheet, and more minutes in the legs as the 3. ČFL season approaches. Turnov will take lessons from the defeat but will need more cutting edge in their remaining friendlies.
