The visitors protected that advantage for the rest of the first half, although Stocek P. was shown a yellow card in the 43rd minute. Polanka nad Odrou replaced Blatny J. at halftime, and the home side emerged with more urgency after the break.

Aniket Bharti equalized in the 50th minute, beginning a run that changed the match. Guy Reteno Elekana put Polanka ahead in the 59th, and Adam Roncka made it 3-1 in the 63rd.

Elekana finished with 86 minutes and a goal, Bouchner had 85 minutes and a goal, Bharti played 44 minutes and scored, and Michael Ayornor played four minutes and scored.

Polanka’s Coufal R. was booked in the 82nd, and Levcik L. came on in the 82nd. Bouchner came off in the 85th after his first-half goal, and Elekana was replaced in the 86th after scoring.

The sequence mirrored Polanka’s ability to turn pressure into quick goals. After Bharti leveled, Elekana and Roncka scored within four minutes of each other to push the lead to 3-1. Nove Mesto’s substitutions brought fresh legs, but Polanka’s back line held long enough for Necas’s late goal to remain only a consolation until Ayornor struck in stoppage time.
