Aritma Praha vs Benátky nad Jizerou

The first half ended goalless, with both sides using the early stages to build match fitness in the Czech summer heat. The breakthrough came in the 72nd minute when Musil found the net for Aritma, capitalising on what the home side described as a hard-earned attacking move on their official website.

Benátky, playing two divisions above their hosts in the Czech football pyramid, pushed for an equaliser in the final 18 minutes but could not breach the Aritma defence. The visitors had been unbeaten in the only previous meeting between the sides — a 2-2 draw earlier in 2026 — but could not find a response on this occasion.

Musil's 72nd-minute goal was the defining moment of an otherwise tightly-contested friendly. With neither side creating clear-cut chances in the first half, the strike gave Aritma the lead they would hold for the remainder of the match. Benátky were unable to mount a sustained response against a well-organised home defence.

Musil (Aritma Praha) — The match-winner, scoring the only goal of the game in the 72nd minute with a finish that decided the contest.

Aritma Praha defence — Kept a clean sheet against a side from the third-tier ČFL B, two divisions above their own Pražský přebor (Prague Championship) level.

The provider payload confirms a 1-0 scoreline (0-0 at half-time), with no detailed shot or possession data recorded. The single-goal margin reflects the even nature of a pre-season friendly where both sides prioritised fitness over attacking intensity. Aritma's clean sheet against a team from the division above suggests defensive organisation that will serve them well in the upcoming Pražský přebor season.

This was Aritma's third pre-season friendly of the summer. After a 1-0 loss to second-tier FK Viktoria Žižkov on 11 July and a 4-1 win over fourth-tier SK Kosmonosy on 18 July, the victory continued their upward trajectory in preparation for the 2026/27 Pražský přebor season.

For Benátky nad Jizerou, who compete in ČFL B — the third tier of Czech football — the defeat serves as a pre-season check before their league campaign begins on 9 August 2026 away at FK Varnsdorf. Aritma's next friendly is against MFK Chrudim on 1 August 2026.

A tight, hard-fought pre-season friendly decided by a single second-half goal. Aritma's 1-0 win over a side two divisions above them is a notable result for the Prague-based club, while Benátky will view this as a useful workout ahead of their ČFL B season opener.
