Lokomotíva Košice vs Kechnec

The hosts needed only 11 minutes to break the deadlock. Rezes opened the scoring with a composed finish, and doubled his tally 13 minutes later (24') to put Loky firmly in control.

Skovran made it 3-0 in the 28th minute, and Simcak added a fourth on the stroke of half-time (44') — Lokomotíva heading into the break with a 4-0 lead that reflected their total dominance.

The second half followed a similar pattern. Pacinda struck six minutes after the restart (51'), and Muller rounded off the scoring with a late goal in the 85th minute. No cards were shown in a one-sided but clean contest.

Rezes's second goal in the 24th minute. After the opener had settled early nerves, the brace effectively killed any hope Kechnec had of mounting a response. The 3-0 that followed four minutes later meant the game was out of reach before the half-hour mark.

Richard Rezes — Two goals (11', 24') in a ruthless first-half display. The striker's movement and finishing were the difference in the opening phase.

J. Skovran — Scored the third (28') and was a constant threat in the final third.

M. Simcak — His strike on the stroke of half-time (44') capped a near-perfect first 45 minutes for the hosts.

E. Pacinda — Added the fifth just after the restart (51'), ensuring no second-half complacency.

The provider data records six goals from six different contributors (Rezes scoring twice) and zero cards — a clean, one-sided friendly. The 4-0 half-time scoreline versus 2-0 in the second half shows Lokomotíva's intensity did not drop significantly after the break. With no xG or shot data available in the payload for this friendly, the pure shot-to-goal conversion rate cannot be calculated, but the first-half blitz of four goals in 33 minutes speaks to a clinical attacking display.

This was Lokomotíva Košice's fifth pre-season friendly ahead of the 2026/27 campaign in the 3. liga Východ, where they finished top of the table last season. The 6-0 win follows a 0-0 draw against Kisvarda FC II (11 July) and a 0-3 loss to ŠK Odeva Lipany (4 July), giving the side a mixed but encouraging pre-season run (W2 D2 L1, including a 5-1 win over Slávia TU Košice on 27 June and a 2-2 draw with Humenné on 1 July). For Kechnec, the defeat continues a difficult pre-season against higher-division opposition.

Lokomotíva's next friendly is scheduled for 25 July 2026 away to MŠK NOVOHRAD Lučenec, their final tune-up before the league campaign.

A straightforward pre-season demolition. Lokomotíva Košice were sharper, fitter and several tiers above their opponents, and the scoreline accurately reflects the gulf in class. For the betting audience, the takeaway is Loky's attacking firepower — six different goal contributors across 90 minutes — but the opposition quality must be weighed against the level of their upcoming league fixtures.
