Raca beat Bernolakovo 3-0 in the Cup Round of 128 on 19 August 2026. The away side took all three points without much trouble, which is how these early-round ties often go when one team has figured out what they're doing. Bernolakovo had the home advantage but that meant little against a Raca side that looked sharper from the start.
The first goal came in the 43rd minute, just before half-time. By then Bernolakovo were still trying to find their shape, and here's the thing — you can see it in the statistics, 44 per cent possession but only six shots on target. Raca were already moving things better, seven shots on target against their five. The goal didn't change the pattern so much as confirm it.
Five minutes after the break, another one went in for Raca in the 53rd. This is where you'd notice the difference between teams that work together and teams that don't. Bernolakovo had 82 attacks against 75 but that number means nothing when you're not creating proper chances. They threw 38 throw-ins compared to Raca's 28 — more urgency, less control. To be fair, the visitors weren't perfect either, picking up two yellow cards just like the hosts.
The third goal in the 81st minute put the result beyond doubt. Raca had seven shots on target to Bernolakovo's six, and it showed in the way they finished. The statistics tell a simple story: seven shots off target for Raca against five for Bernolakovo, but the difference was in what they did with the ones that mattered. The hosts had three corners to two, which tells you where the danger came from — not from set pieces.
The numbers don't lie about this one. Raca controlled 56 per cent of possession and Bernolakovo 44, but possession isn't everything when you're not taking your chances. Bernolakovo had 14 free kicks and Raca had 14 — neither side was being bullied. Offsides were minimal, just one for Raca and none for Bernolakovo, so there was no rush to catch up.
For Bernolakovo, this is another defeat to add to recent memories — they lost 1-7 to Raca back in August 2023 and now it's 0-3. The Cup Round of 128 isn't where you want to find yourself going home empty-handed. Raca, meanwhile, are looking like a side that knows how to close out games, which is something you can't put in statistics.
