Match Analysis
AI SummaryHow It Unfolded
Turnov struck first through a 15th-minute goal, but Povltava FA responded inside 11 minutes — a 26th-minute equaliser levelled the scores at 1-1. The visitors regained the advantage just before the interval, scoring in the 45th minute to take a 2-1 lead into half-time.
Povltava FA came out sharper after the break. They pulled level for a second time in the 51st minute, making it 2-2 within six minutes of the restart. Turnov refused to wilt, however, and went ahead for a third time through a 63rd-minute strike.
With time running out, Povltava FA found one more response. A 77th-minute goal completed the scoring and secured a share of the spoils, the final 3-3 scoreline reflecting an open, evenly-contested affair.
The Turning Point
No single moment decided this match — it was a game of three separate momentum shifts. The most significant pattern was Turnov's inability to protect a lead. They went ahead three times (15', 45', 63') and Povltava FA equalised within 11, 6 and 14 minutes respectively. The 51-minute equaliser, coming just after half-time, was perhaps the most damaging: it wiped out the psychological advantage Turnov had carried into the break.
Key Performers

By the Numbers — Interpreted
The match timeline tells a clear story: six goals across six different minutes, with a fairly even spread. Turnov scored twice in the first half (15', 45') and once in the second (63'), while Povltava FA scored once before the break (26') and twice after it (51', 77'). The 1-2 half-time scoreline suggests Turnov had the better of the opening 45 minutes, but the second-half share of the goals (2-1 to Povltava FA) shows the home side adapted at the interval. No cards were recorded, reflecting the friendly nature of the contest.
