Czech Cup - 2nd round - August 28, 2019 - Olešnice 0 Opava 6








Czech Cup - 2nd round 
August 28, 2019
Olešnice 0 Opava 6
Attendance - 900

Olešnice u Bouzova is a small village of around 150 people, and I am sure they are the smallest village ever to make it this far in the Czech Cup.  Currently, they are playing in the 6th tier, while their opponents on the day, Opava, are in the 1st tier.  To get to this match, Olešnice defeated a 4th tier club, and a 3rd tier club.  Their home ground is under construction, so they are playing the majority of their matches in near-by Bouzov.  However, for the match vs Opava, they had to play in Mohelnice, which not too long ago had a 3rd tier club.

The hosts tried hard, but only had one proper shot on goal.  Unfortunately, this was one of the worst football matches I have watched in recent years.  It was also 32C at kickoff, which probably did not help my opinion.
