Veleke Ludince Edge Past Dunajska-Strada in Cup Thriller
Veleke Ludince claimed a 3-2 victory over Dunajska-Strada in the Round of 64 of the Cup on 2026-09-15, a result that came after both sides traded blows from the opening whistle. The home side took control in the first half with two goals inside twenty minutes, then held on despite a late fightback from the visitors who had been running the show in recent weeks. And here's the thing — you'd expect a team on such a run to dominate, but this match refused to follow any script.
Oravik opened the scoring in the sixth minute, catching the defence asleep. The visitors responded quickly with Gueye's equaliser just six minutes later, but Gagua restored the lead before half-time with a well-taken goal in the 20th minute. By then, Veleke Ludince had established the kind of cushion that lets you breathe, even if only for a few minutes.
The second half belonged to Dunajska-Strada in patches. Toth pulled one back in the 58th minute, and Rak restored the home side's advantage six minutes later, a goal that shifted momentum back where it had been before. The visitors pressed for an equaliser, but their chances dried up at the worst possible moments for them.
What followed was a tense finish that nearly ended differently. Ramadan missed a penalty in the 75th minute, and Sylla failed to convert another in the 90+2 minute — two chances gone, two points salvaged. The captain dragged them through it when it mattered, and that's how these cup ties are decided.
The result comes as something of a surprise given the form both teams brought into this fixture. Dunajska-Strada had won five consecutive games by comfortable margins — 4-1, 2-0, 6-1, 5-0, 13-0 — while Veleke Ludince had shown inconsistency with three losses among five matches. The table goes out of the window in these games, as it always does.
