Vysočina Jihlava vs Příbram

Příbram's equaliser, scored by Rousar in the 55th minute, should have given the visitors a platform. Instead, Jihlava's response was immediate and devastating. Usman struck within 120 seconds of the restart, and Smutný added a third eight minutes later. The three-goal burst in a 10-minute window killed the contest.

Tyrese Omotoye — the Jihlava striker held his nerve from the penalty spot in the 27th minute and led the line effectively in the first half before being substituted at the break as part of Nikl's planned double-team rotation.

S. Usman — scored the crucial second goal within two minutes of Příbram's equaliser, a vital response that turned momentum firmly back Jihlava's way.

Michal Smutný — the 20-year-old striker, returning from third-tier loan spells at Admir Prague and Loko Prague last season, scored Jihlava's third on 65 minutes. He made his first pre-season appearance count.

Player of the match: Tyrese Omotoye

Jihlava scored three goals from the 27th minute onwards despite rotating their entire outfield XI at half-time — the first-half unit (featuring trialists David Jambor and Selim Pellissard) produced one goal, and the second-half XI added two more inside 20 minutes. Příbram found the net once in the 55th minute but otherwise struggled to create sustained pressure across both halves. The 3-1 scoreline flattered Příbram slightly given the timing of the goals: Jihlava led for 52 of the 90 minutes, Příbram for zero.

Jihlava have won all three pre-season friendlies so far — 3-2 away at Viktoria Žižkov (20 June), 2-1 away at Slovácko (24 June) and now 3-1 versus Příbram. The run builds momentum ahead of the 2026/27 Chance národní liga season, where Jihlava will aim to improve on their second-tier standing. Příbram, who won promotion back to the second tier after claiming the third-league title in 2025/26, continue their own preparations.

Jihlava's next friendly: vs FC Erzgebirge Aue (1 July 2026 at Roudnice nad Labem). Příbram continue their pre-season schedule with further friendlies to be announced.

A convincing pre-season display from Jihlava, who showed strength in depth by fielding two different XIs and still outscoring a second-tier rival 3-1. The quick response to Příbram's equaliser was the standout takeaway — a sign of growing resilience under Marek Nikl. For Příbram, the brief moment of parity in the 55th minute offered promise, but the defensive fragility that followed needs addressing before competitive football resumes.
