Komárno vs Pohronie

Martin Šimko opened the scoring inside eight minutes, turning home a cross to give Komárno a lead they carried into the break. The floodgates opened after half-time: Denis Alijagić doubled the advantage two minutes into the second half (47'), and new signing Peter Juritka struck twice in 20 minutes (61', 81') to put the result beyond doubt. Fellow Prešov arrival Ján Bernát rounded off the scoring in the 87th minute. All five goals were from open play.

The 1,054 spectators in attendance — the first crowd at Komárno's newly built ground — saw a dominant display that built on a 0-0 draw with MFK Lokomotíva Zvolen three days earlier (8 July).

The match was still competitive at 1-0. Alijagić's goal 47 seconds into the second half — a quick restart that caught the Pohronie defence flat — changed the dynamic entirely. Once 2-0 down, Pohronie had to push forward, leaving space that Juritka exploited twice on the counter.

Peter Juritka — the standout performer. His brace (61', 81') turned a comfortable win into a rout. Both finishes were composed, suggesting he is hitting form ahead of the new season. The 24-year-old arrived from Prešov this summer along with Bernát and Andy Masaryk.

Martin Šimko — the early goal (8') settled any nerves in the first competitive minutes at the new stadium and set the tone.

Denis Alijagić — his strike immediately after the restart was the decisive moment, killing off any prospect of a Pohronie fightback.

Ján Bernát — came off the bench to add the fifth, capping a dominant second-half display.

Player of the match: Peter Juritka (2 goals)

Komárno scored five goals from open play against a side from the division below. The shot-to-goal conversion rate was high, with finishes arriving from well-worked moves rather than set pieces — no penalties or free-kick goals were recorded. The 1-0 half-time scoreline suggests Komárno were patient in possession before finding their rhythm after the interval, with four goals arriving in the second half. SofaScore recorded 77% possession for the home side, underlining their dominance.

For Komárno, this is a statement result in their pre-season build-up. The club has undergone a major squad overhaul since the end of last season. Nine players — including top scorer Elvis Mashike (8 goals in 2025/26) and midfielders Martin Boča and Alen Mustafić — have departed. Czibor is integrating new faces, including the trio from Prešov, and the 5-0 scoreline suggests the attacking unit is clicking early.

The result marks the first match at Komárno's new stadium, a significant milestone for the club who had been playing their home fixtures at the ViOn Arena in Zlaté Moravce for the previous three seasons after winning promotion to the top flight. The 2026/27 Niké Liga season begins for Komárno on 25 July away at AS Trenčín (18:00 kick-off), and Czibor will hope this venue becomes a fortress.

For Pohronie, preparing in the second-tier MONACObet liga, the heavy defeat is a reminder of the gap to top-division opposition. The four goals conceded after the break will be a concern for their coaching staff.

A near-perfect pre-season outing for Komárno: five goals, a clean sheet, and the first victory at a new home ground witnessed by over a thousand fans. The second-half demolition was the most encouraging sign for Czibor as his rebuilt side prepares for the Niké Liga opener at Trenčín on 25 July. Pohronie will need to tighten up defensively before their league campaign begins.
