FK Jablonec defeats FC Baník Ostrava 3-0

FK Jablonec defeated FC Baník Ostrava 3-0 in a rescheduled fifth round match of the Czech top flight. Filip Novák opened the scoring for the home side in the 44th minute with a header.

The match was marked by a significant VAR controversy. An initial goal by Baník's Matěj Chaluša was disallowed after video review indicated he was offside, a decision that also involved a collision with Jablonec goalkeeper Mihelak. Later, a goal by Matěj Polidar was briefly overturned by VAR before being reinstated after officials realized they had overlooked an opposing player in the offside check.

Baník's difficulties continued in the second half when Chaluša was sent off following a VAR review. Jablonec capitalized on the man advantage, with Antonín Růsek and Matěj Polidar scoring to secure the victory. The win moves Jablonec to fifth place in the standings, while Baník remains in eleventh.
