The hosts opened the match by a quick shot but David Němeček's header went off the goal. Right in the 5th minute Viktoria got in lead. The home goalkeeper failed in kicking off from his goal, which was punished by Tomáš Chorý who easily scored 1-0. The second goal could be soon added by Jakub Řezníček after Hubník's centre pass but he missed the target. On the other side the skipper Tijani headed the ball above the crossbar after a corner. In the 24th minute Plzeň were leading by two goals when Tomáš Chorý accepted a long ball behind defence.

Immediately after that the score changed to 3-0. After Vyškov's defensive failure Jakub Řezníček shot low ball behind goalkeeper Sova. Chorý could finish his hat-trick on about half an hour of the game but his attempt lacked shooting accuracy. Milan Petržela lost his chance later when his volley shot flew outside the goal. Soon after that the hosts' goalkeeper Sova excelled against fantastic Bucha´s shot. At the end of the first half Viktoria added the fourth goal and after great Petržela's job Tomáš Chorý completed his hat-trick.

Viktoria opened the second half by a goal again. Tomáš Chorý got the ball in the box and while turning round the goalkeeper he adjusted the scoreline to 5-0. It was Chorý's fourth goal of the match. In the 55th minute Vyškov reduced the score when Ondřej Hruška counterattacked and then beat Hruška. 8 minutes later he played another promising chance together with his brother Marek but they shot it just wide.

In the 67th minute Pavel Vrba made the first substitution, Milan Petržela was replaced by Ubong Ekpai. 10 minutes before the end the hosts performed a nice action but missed the target. The fans didn't see any other goal until the end so Viktoria Plzeň edged Vyškov out of the MOL Cup 5-1!

Tomáš Chorý's Commentary

 "Our opponent was very motivated at the beginning and they attacked us a lot. We calmed down after the goalkeeper's mistake when we opened the score to 1-0. We quickly added four more goals and controlled the game," the four-goals scorer comments on the match. "But Vyškov played a great game, they have nothing to be ashamed of," he adds.

"I'm very satisfied today. I could have score even more goals but I've never scored four goals in one match, so that's amazing," he was pleased.
