Dukla Trencin kept their Tatra Cup campaign on track with a 6:0 victory over DAB on Friday evening. The match took place at the home venue on 2026-08-29, and the result leaves the hosts sitting second in the standings with a game in hand over the visitors.
Both sides enter this fixture with zero points in the table — Dukla Trencin from two wins and one defeat, DAB from three straight losses. The scoreline does not change those totals, but it puts clear distance between the two teams going forward.
Dukla Trencin have been unpredictable of late, alternating between a 6:3 win over HK 19 Humenne and a 3:5 defeat to Zilina. They managed a 2:1 victory against Zlin on Wednesday, but the pattern suggests inconsistency rather than dominance. DAB, meanwhile, have yet to find a formula, including a heavy 0:6 loss to Poprad HC just yesterday.
There were no minute-by-minute events supplied for this fixture, so the narrative rests entirely on the final result. Six goals without reply is a statement, particularly when the opposition has already conceded 12 in three games. The visitors were overrun from the opening whistle, though without specific breaks or goals to reference, the extent of the control remains a matter of inference.
The standings now show Dukla Trencin firmly in second place with three games played, while DAB remain fourth with the same number of matches and no points to show for it. A gap is forming, and for the away side, the window to close it is narrowing rapidly.
