Vitova
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) František Kopp struck a weak shot in the 9th minute. Josef Maček didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for SK Vitova. A collision led to FK Pribice getting a freekick after 12 minutes play. Martin Páral hit a great ball. In the 13th minute Branislav Švorc shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Josef Maček saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When František Režný fell near the penalty area in the 16th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FK Pribice's protests and gave František Režný a yellow card for diving instead. In the 17th minute of the match Zdislav Buš shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Josef Maček showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. After 20 played minutes SK Vitova got a freekick which was hit by Zdislav Buš. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Tomáš Friedrich in the 24th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Jaroslav Zázvorka saved SK Vitova from getting behind. Dan Hanžl might have been able to make a better finish in the 25th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Jaroslav Zázvorka. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Dan Hanžl ran back to his position shaking his head. If Tomáš Friedrich had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 26th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Zdislav Buš was astounded when the referee showed him the red card after a seemingly innocent challenge, 30 minutes into the match. In a very dangerous position, a player in SK Vitova fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 30th minute. Penalty! With a little luck, FK Pribice's Josef Maček got control of the ball when Jan Hartmann tried to sneak it across the goal line. Josef Maček made a fantastic save in the 37th minute, when Jan Hartmann sent off a good shot on target. František Režný sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. The audience was convinced that Dan Hanžl's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jaroslav Zázvorka was relentless in the 46th minute of the game.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Jan Hartmann was the one to do the kick off. After 51 minutes, Miloslav Kusý mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FK Pribice and the SK Vitova players grew even worse after the yellow card. After having played for 53 minutes, Jan Hartmann managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. SK Vitova's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jan Hartmann was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Dan Hanžl recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Tomáš Friedrich sent away a hard shot on goal in the 59th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Josef Maček made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Jan Hartmann in the 62nd minute of play. After some careless play in the FK Pribice defense, Otakar Franta kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Josef Maček. The FK Pribice fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Josef Maček should have stopped the shot. After some fancy dribbling in the 73rd minute, Dan Hanžl managed to get in a good position for a shot. FK Pribice's supporters rose to their feet, but Dan Hanžl was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Jaroslav Zázvorka breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. SK Vitova's Jan Hartmann got a good chance for a goal in the 83rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Jan Hartmann had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. For all the effort they put into the match, the FK Pribice players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for SK Vitova.
