Player of the match: Dmitrovič (Baník Lehota pod Vtáčnikom)

Baník Lehota's 2–1 victory reflects a game in which the higher-division side controlled the key moments. The hosts conceded both goals from set-pieces — a free-kick redirected in the 6th minute and a penalty in the 79th — suggesting Spartak's defensive organisation on dead balls remains a work in progress this pre-season. Myjava's scoring rate improved in the second half after multiple substitutions opened up the game, but their single goal (90th minute, from a corner) came far too late to alter the result. The 1–0 half-time scoreline flattered the hosts slightly; Baník created clearer chances in the opening period.

This was Spartak Myjava's second pre-season friendly ahead of the 2026/27 campaign. They previously lost 4–1 to Slavia Prague on 11 July. Baník Lehota, playing in the Slovak second division, closed their summer preparation with a win. Head coach Adam Rechtorík acknowledged the gap in quality but found positives.

"We're glad that a team of this coaching and playing quality came to us. They have real strength in the middle of the park. But I have to praise our lads too — they carried out several things we discussed. Of course there were mistakes, and it's a shame we conceded both goals from set-pieces. But I think we can be more satisfied than dissatisfied today." — Adam Rechtorík, head coach of Spartak Myjava, speaking to the club's official website

Spartak Myjava's next friendly is against OK Častkovce on 24 July in Očkovo. Baník Lehota's first competitive match of the new season is yet to be confirmed.

A deserved win for the second-division visitors, who showed greater efficiency in both boxes. Myjava competed well in spells but were punished for lapses on dead balls — a detail that will concern Rechtorík with the competitive season closing in. The late consolation softens the scoreline but does not mask the gap in class.
