Trinec vs Kometa Brno

The second-period explosion — three goals in a span of 13:04 — effectively ended the contest. Kometa had held firm after a tight first period, but the Lazovský strike early in the second broke their resistance. Once Kurovský added the third and fourth, the visitors had no realistic path back.

Třinec continued to push in the third period. Jakub Galvas made it 5-0 at 47:25, finishing on the powerplay after Jakub Kunc had been penalised for tripping. The sequence showcased crisp puck movement from the second power-play unit, with Kurovský and Kubiesa again combining to set up Galvas at the back door.

Matěj Kubiesa (Třinec) — Player of the Match. One goal and three assists, involved in four of Třinec's five goals. His chemistry with Kurovský was the defining feature of the game.

Jakub Kurovský (Třinec). Two goals and two assists, the primary finisher on the night. His movement between the circles caused constant problems for the Kometa defence.

Jakub Galvas (Třinec). A goal and an assist from the blue line, plus steady work on the powerplay. His reading of the play on the 5-0 goal was precise.

Robert Leino (Kometa Brno). The lone bright spot for the visitors, scoring Brno's consolation goal at 55:15 with a hard wrist shot from the right circle. It was the first goal Třinec had conceded at home in pre-season after 115 minutes and 15 seconds of play.

Referees: Kika, Cabák – Peluha, Axman.

The 6-4 penalty count tells a clear story: Třinec's aggression at the edges was deliberate, disrupting Kometa's rhythm through the neutral zone. Despite surrendering more penalty minutes, the hosts conceded nothing — Kometa went 0-for-6 on the powerplay. The one powerplay goal came at the other end (Galvas, 47:25), giving Třinec a 1-0 edge with the man advantage.

The shot volume (not available in raw data) was tilted heavily toward the home side through the middle frame, where the game was decided. Kometa's best spell came in the final 10 minutes after Leino's goal, but Třinec goaltender Jan Mazanec stood firm, swallowing up attempts from Selič and Ilomäki during a late Brno powerplay.

Attendance: 2,357 at WERK ARENA — a solid showing for an afternoon pre-season friendly.

Both sides entered the fixture unbeaten in pre-season. Třinec had posted wins over Slovan Bratislava (6-5), Zvolen (4-0) and Frýdek-Místek, while Kometa arrived having beaten Jihlava (3-0), Augsburg (3-2) and Zug (3-2) to claim the Dolomiten Cup.

That perfect start for Brno ends here. The 5-1 margin sends a message from Třinec ahead of the new Tipsport Extraliga season, which begins on 9 September 2026. Třinec host HC Vítkovice Ridera in a Silesian-Moravian derby at WERK ARENA on that date (17:00), their final pre-season fixture. Kometa Brno face Třinec again on 1 September in Brno before the regular season gets underway.

This was a statement performance from Třinec, whose second-period blitz exposed gaps in Kometa's defensive structure that had been hidden by earlier results. The Kubiesa-Kurovský axis looks dangerous heading into the league campaign. Kometa, still without several projected starters, will take some positives from Leino's goal but have clear work to do on the penalty kill before the real business begins.
