Petržalka added a third at 67 minutes before the red card arrived at 70 for Nava Dedinka. The dismissal came as the home side tried to roll the dice, but it only made matters worse. Two more goals at 76 and 80 minutes ended any faint hope of a comeback.
Petržalka dominated the statistics, holding 68 per cent possession against 32. They registered 10 shots on target to just 3 for the hosts, while attacks came 77 to 57. The home side managed only 2 corners and gave away 11 free kicks, giving the full-back a torrid evening.
Petržalka arrive having won five straight, including 4-2 against Tatrán Prešov on 16 August. Nava Dedinka's recent record tells a different story, with defeats to MSK Senec and Skalica among them. The result sends Petržalka through to the next round while Nava Dedinka are out on the strength of this afternoon's performance.
