Opava vs Prostějov

The introduction of Barnabáš Lacík at half-time changed the game. With Opava's first-half front line struggling to break down a well-organised Prostějov defence, Lacík's pace and direct running caused problems from the restart. He finally got his reward in the 87th minute when a long ball down the left channel caught out the last defender — Lacík was quicker, raced through, and slotted calmly between the goalkeeper's legs to make it 1-1.

He almost won it two minutes later, bearing down on goal from the same left side, but the Prostějov 'keeper saved with his hands over the bar. Opava also had a last-gasp chance from close range on the right that the visiting goalkeeper saved to preserve the draw.

• Barnabáš Lacík (Opava) — The clear player of the match. His late equaliser was a moment of quality in an otherwise scrappy contest, and he came within inches of a second with another clean run on goal.
• Aliyu Imrana (Prostějov) — Scored the opener with a well-taken header from a corner and led the line well before being substituted.
• Opava's second-half goalkeeper Hafera — Made several saves to keep his side in the game, including a sharp stop from a low drive and a vital claim from a dangerous cross.

Prostějov were the more shot-happy side across the 90 minutes. The away team registered the greater share of attempts, particularly after the break, but failed to convert their pressure into a second goal. Opava's finishing was far more efficient — two clear chances on goal in the closing stages produced one goal and one forced save. The match featured two yellow cards, both for Opava (Helešic in the 23rd minute and an unnamed player around the hour mark).

This was Opava's second friendly of their 2026/27 summer preparation, following a 1-1 draw with Slovak side MŠK Žilina on 20 June. Under new head coach Svatopluk Habanec, appointed on 22 June, Opava are yet to taste defeat in pre-season. Prostějov, who finished above Opava in the 2025/26 Chance Národní Liga standings, will take encouragement from a dominant first-half display.

Opava's next friendly is scheduled against Sparta Prague on 4 July, while Prostějov will continue their own pre-season programme.

A typical early-summer friendly — disjointed, played in punishing heat, and decided by individual moments rather than sustained team patterns. Prostějov will rue not scoring a second when on top. Opava, who changed their entire outfield at half-time, will be pleased with the character shown to fight back late. For betting purposes, the pattern of both teams scoring in a friendly under these conditions fits the historical trend: 70% of Opava-Prostějov meetings have seen BTTS land.
