Olomouc faced Mainz in the second leg of the UEFA Conference League Round of 16, where they suffered a 0:2 loss after a previous goalless draw at home. The match saw Mainz take the lead with a goal from Stefan Posch just after halftime, followed by a second goal from substitute Armindo Sieb in the 82nd minute. The Olomouc team was playing with ten players after the dismissal of Péter Baráth, which hampered their efforts to regain control of the match.

This defeat signifies a disappointing end to Olomouc's campaign in European competitions, as they were unable to build upon their historic quarterfinal appearance in the UEFA Cup back in 1992. The game highlighted the challenges faced by the Czech team against a stronger German side. The Mainz team will now advance to the quarterfinals, where they will face either Rijeka or Strasbourg, continuing their competition in the quest for European glory.

Coach Tomáš Janotka opted to maintain a consistent lineup, sticking with the same players who began the first leg despite having the option to reintegrate a key defender returning from a suspension. The match atmosphere was lively, reflecting the home support for Mainz, which added pressure on Olomouc. This elimination underscores the gap that still exists between Czech teams and their counterparts in more competitive leagues across Europe, raising questions about the future performance of clubs like Olomouc on the continental stage.
