Kysuce Nove Meste secured a 2:0 victory over Zavazna-Poruba in the Round of 128 of the Cup on 19 August 2026. The away side took control with goals in the 40th and 55th minutes, closing out a straightforward afternoon. The result sends them through to the next stage.
The first goal arrived after half an hour of play, a moment that shifted the balance. By then, Zavazna-Poruba had been content to defend deeper, but the opener changed the complexion of the tie. Kysuce Nove Meste moved with purpose once they took the lead.
And here's the thing about matches like this — one goal often means another follows. The second strike at the 55th minute put the visitors beyond reach. Zavazna-Poruba chased the game but could not find a way back into it.
What stood out was not the quantity of chances but their quality. Kysuce Nove Meste did not need to dominate possession to win. Three or four moments, and the contest was decided. The rest was noise.
Recent form suggests this was a plausible result for both sides. Zavazna-Poruba's last outing ended in a 2:2 draw, while Kysuce Nove Meste have seen mixed luck — a heavy 1:6 defeat and a narrow 0:1 loss among their recent results. The Cup offers a fresh start.
