Tiszakecske FC vs Zbrojovka Brno

Brno struck inside the first ten minutes. Forward David Vašulín opened the scoring in the 8th minute, giving the visitors a lead they held until the closing stages of the first half.

Tiszakecske equalised through E. Kocs-Washburn in the 40th minute, but parity lasted barely two minutes. František Vecera restored Brno's advantage in the 42nd minute, sending the Czech side into the break 2-1 up.

Any hope of a Tiszakecske rally after the interval was extinguished within two minutes of the restart. Bienvenue Kanakimana made it 3-1 in the 47th minute, capitalising on a defence that had yet to settle after the break.

Both sides emptied their benches in a 60th-minute substitution sequence typical of pre-season runouts. Brno made 12 changes in total; Tiszakecske made 11, effectively fielding two different XIs across the 90 minutes.

The Hungarian side reduced the deficit through Arafat Al Haj in the 71st minute, setting up a potentially nervy final quarter-hour. But Brno restored their two-goal cushion when Patrik Zitny converted a penalty in the 87th minute to make it 4-2.

David Vašulín opened the scoring with a composed finish and played the full first hour before being substituted as part of Brno's mass rotation.

Bienvenue Kanakimana scored within two minutes of second-half kick-off, the Burundi forward providing the decisive third goal that deflated Tiszakecske's early momentum after the interval.

Patrik Zitny stepped up to slot home the late penalty that sealed the result, the defender's ice-cool finish from the spot ending any prospect of a late collapse.

Arafat Al Haj was Tiszakecske's standout, scoring in the 71st minute to briefly revive his side's hopes after earlier being substituted on and off in the 60th-minute overhaul.

The six-goal tally reflected an open, transitional game — typical of early pre-season where fitness levels and defensive shape lag behind attacking ambition. Brno's three first-half goals (8', 42', 47') showed ruthlessness in punishing Tiszakecske immediately after the hosts had scored or just after the interval. Tiszakecske's two goals (40', 71%) both arrived during spells where they briefly wrestled control, but each time Brno responded within minutes.

This was the first pre-season fixture for both sides as they build towards the 2026-27 campaign. Tiszakecske FC compete in Hungary's Nemzeti Bajnokság II, while Zbrojovka Brno will play in the Czech National Football League — the second tier of Czech football. Both will use the club friendly schedule to sharpen match sharpness and integrate squad players before competitive action begins later in July.

Pre-season results carry limited weight, but Brno's ability to score in quick bursts — three goals within five first-half minutes of each other — suggests encouraging attacking cohesion for a first runout. Tiszakecske competed in spells but were repeatedly undone immediately after their best moments, a defensive fragility they will want to address before the NB II season begins.
