Lokomotíva Košice saw off Slavia TU Košice 3-0 in the Cup Round of 64 on 2 September 2026, a result that felt comfortable from the opening exchanges. The hosts worked a short corner early and took advantage immediately, while the visitors carried more possession but struggled to convert it.
The first goal came at eight minutes, followed by a second at eighteen, both finding the net with ease. Slavia TU held their shape but couldn't stop the pressure, and by then the visitors were already chasing the game. A third goal at sixty minutes sealed the matter, and the hosts took control without looking back.
Statistics tell a different story. Slavia TU enjoyed 56 per cent possession and registered 103 attacks compared with 91, yet they managed only two shots on target. Lokomotíva, with 44 per cent possession, hit four shots on target and scored three. The old head settled them down when it mattered.
Recent form suggests this was no fluke. Lokomotíva had been inconsistent—four-zero against Čaňa, six-zero over Kechnec, but also three-zero defeats and draws—but they turned to the kids when needed. Slavia TU had won their last two before the Cup, including a one-zero victory over Spartak Medzev, but those results meant little here.
The three-goal margin means Lokomotíva advance, and the scoreline reflects a match decided in the first half. The visitors worked hard but got dragged out of position, and by the sixtieth minute the outcome was never in doubt.
