Throughout the encounter on the 16th of August at 16:00 EEST in the Czech Cup, SK Sparta Kolin reigned victorious over RMSK Cidlina Novy Bydzov, ending with the decisive 1-0, most notably achieved in the 26th minute of the second half. The moment proved to be a turning point which ultimately set the tone for the match and handed the away team the upper hand.

There was a clear contrast in the discipline during the match. Despite trailing in the goals tally, RMSK Cidlina Novy Bydzov seemed to be struggling with compliance as they went on to collect a total of three yellow cards in the span of just eight minutes in the second half (23:47, 29:33, and 31:50). SK Sparta Kolin, on the other hand, carried a more controlled approach to their play, with only a single yellow card to their name, given in the 8th minute of the second half.

An interesting aspect to note was the handling of set-piece opportunities. Corner kicks were more abundant for SK Sparta Kolin, with a total of five in comparison to their opponent's three. Despite making less use of the offside line, with zero offsides, RMSK Cidlina Novy Bydzov was unable to convert their defensive prowess into goal-making opportunities. Conversely, even with two offsides, SK Sparta Kolin's greater ability to exploit corner kick opportunities may have shifted the dynamics to their favour.

In conclusion, several factors contributed to SK Sparta Kolin's win; their ability to capitalize on a goal early in the second half, their defensive solidity marked by fewer cards, and a more effective utilization of set pieces. Above all, discipline played a significant role in this encounter, with Novy Bydzov being unable to maintain their composure in key moments of the game, which reflected in the cards they accrued.
