Jablonec II vs Příbram II

The third goal just before half-time was decisive. By scoring in the 42nd minute, Jablonec went into the break with a three-goal buffer that forced Příbram to chase the game in the second half. The visitors' 76th-minute consolation briefly gave them a foothold, but Jablonec's immediate response in the 80th minute — the fifth goal — extinguished any hope of a comeback.

While the provider payload does not name individual goalscorers for this pre-season friendly, Jablonec's collective attacking output was the story. Five different goalscorers across the 90 minutes, three in the first half alone, reflected a side that clicked in the final third. The 4-0 cushion before the hour mark gave the coaching staff licence to rotate and experiment, which is the primary objective of any pre-season fixture.

Jablonec's goalkeeper, who kept Příbram at bay for 75 minutes before the consolation goal, also deserves mention for maintaining concentration during extended periods without action.

The 5-1 scoreline (HT 3-0) tells a story of clear first-half superiority. Jablonec scored three times in a 14-minute window between the 28th and 42nd minutes, suggesting they capitalised on a period of pressure or defensive disorganisation from Příbram. The 76th-minute Příbram goal — their only strike — interrupted what was otherwise a one-sided contest. Jablonec's immediate response within four minutes speaks to their focus and fitness in the latter stages of the match.

This was the fourth of six scheduled pre-season friendlies for Jablonec II ahead of the 2026/27 3. česká fotbalová liga B campaign. The B-team's summer record now stands at two wins (5-2 vs Hradec Králové B on 15 July, 5-1 vs Příbram II), one draw and two losses (0-3 vs Turnov on 11 July, 1-3 vs Teplice B on 18 July).

Jablonec II next face Admira Praha away on 25 July, followed by a final pre-season test against Sparta Praha B on 1 August at Mšeno. The competitive season in the third tier begins in August.

For Příbram II, this was part of their own summer preparation programme. The club's B-team plays in the same division as Jablonec's reserves, making these friendlies useful barometers for the season ahead.

A comprehensive, no-nonsense pre-season win for Jablonec II. The three-goal first-half burst decided the contest before Příbram could settle, and the hosts' ability to respond instantly to the visitors' consolation showed a mature game management that will serve them well in the league campaign ahead.
