HK Humenne 19 beat DAB 7:0 in the Tatras Cup on 30 August 2026. The hosts ended a barren spell for the visitors, who had lost both their previous matches 0:6. It was a clean sweep for Humenne on their patch.
DAB arrived with two heavy defeats behind them, each one ending 0:6. First against Dukat Trenčín, then against Poprad HK. The scoreline was familiar, just with a different opponent. This time the visitors were even further behind.
Humenne's recent form had been mixed. They lost 4:2 to Poprad on 29 August and 6:3 to Trenčín the day before. But before that, they had stringed together wins — 8:5 against Prešov, 4:3 against Skalica, and 3:2 over Trenčín again in April. The pattern was there, even if the results flipped.
Both sides sit on zero points after three games. The table is still empty of meaning. Third place and fourth place mean nothing when every team has the same number of points. What matters is how the games are played, not where they land in a list.
Seven goals in one match is not something that happens often. Humenne were clinical when it counted. DAB were left exposed and could not find a way back. It is a result that will be remembered more than the standings.
