Mlada Boleslav U20 vs Mountfield HK U20

The match, played at the ŠKO-ENERGO Aréna in Mladá Boleslav (18:00 local, 16:00 UTC), was confirmed as a 5–4 overtime result by the Betmana provider payload. Both clubs listed the fixture on their official pre-season schedules.

Specific goal-scorers, assists and period-by-period breakdowns were not published in official club or league sources at the time of writing, which is common for U20 pre-season friendlies in the Czech Republic. The match ended with the status "After Overtime" (AOT).

• Period-by-period: The provider payload does not contain period-level scoring splits, but the 4–5 scoreline after overtime indicates a high-scoring, back-and-forth contest.
• Comeback: Mlada Boleslav led 4–2 at one stage; Mountfield scored twice to force OT, then won it in the extra period.

This fixture was listed on both clubs' pre-season calendars. On the Mountfield HK youth site, the 25 August match against BK Mladá Boleslav is the penultimate pre-season test before facing HC Dukla Jihlava on 27 August.

Mlada Boleslav had built a 4–2 lead — a marked improvement from their 3–0 loss to the same opponent on 6 August — but could not hold it. Mountfield's two unanswered goals in the third period swung momentum decisively. Once in overtime, the visitors carried their momentum through and found the winner.

This mirrored Mountfield's third-period resilience from their 20 August match at Kometa Brno (1–3 win, with two goals in the final eight minutes).

Without official goal-scoring data, the standout performers cannot be named with certainty from this fixture. However, based on Mountfield's recent form:

• Mountfield HK's forward group came off a strong showing against Kometa Brno (20 August) where Jakub Jón, Patrik Hendrych and Andrij Vystavkin all registered points.
• Mlada Boleslav's attack — scoring four goals after being shut out 3–0 by Mountfield on 6 August — showed clear offensive improvement.

Player of the Match: The overtime goal-scorer for Mountfield HK is the most likely candidate, though the club did not officially name one.

The provider payload from Betmana.co.uk confirms the 4–5 scoreline after overtime and the "After Overtime" (AOT) status. The total of nine goals exceeded the historical average of 6.3 goals across the 23 previous H2H meetings between these sides (data from the Betmana H2H widget). Both teams scored, continuing a trend where both sides have found the net in 22 of the last 23 meetings (96%).

Mlada Boleslav still leads the all-time series 15–8, but Tuesday's result gives Mountfield back-to-back pre-season wins over their rivals.

This was one of the final pre-season tests for both sides before the KB Extraliga juniorů (Czech U20 top league) season begins in early September 2026.

• Mountfield HK U20 next face HC Dukla Jihlava on 27 August, then begin the regular season.
• Mlada Boleslav U20 face HC Dynamo Pardubice on 28 August in their final pre-season fixture.

Mountfield's pre-season form has shown steady improvement: after a 3–4 OT loss to Kolín (4 August) and a 3–0 win over Mladá Boleslav (6 August), they beat Kometa Brno 3–1 (20 August) and now have this OT win. Their record across six pre-season matches is approximately 3–1–2.

A chaotic, high-scoring friendly that revealed more about Mountfield's resilience than Mladá Boleslav's defensive solidity. The visitors' ability to rally from 4–2 down on the road signals promising character ahead of the regular season. For the home side, scoring four goals after being blanked 3–0 by the same opponent three weeks earlier is genuine progress, but surrendering a two-goal lead in the third period is a concern they will want to address before the season proper begins.
